In the news last week, Sarah Silverman tweeted out a complaint deriving from a physician’s exam by stating: “This is not a date.” In this episode, we review the impact of #MeToo on healthcare and give practical guidance on how to manage this risk. VillageMD Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder, Dr. Clive Fields, joins us to discuss the “Stay Safe” guidelines circulating on the internet that guide patients on what to expect when they go to the doctor. We hope this will help spark the conversation for you and your staff about this important topic.
