Random post i know, but i was wondering if other people have experienced the use of negative language by health professionals......
My favourite is "oh you are only 3 centimetres" or "No you are not ALLOWED to do that".
I don't think people realise that negative connotations with words can impact how a person feels and labours etc.
Any experiences you would like to share would be greatly appreciated! xxx
