Repeat #retinoblastoma procedures over many years can provoke stress & #anxiety. #ChildLife can manage anxiety at all ages and stages of care. Together with the hospital team, parents can help children build resilience and conquer #HospitalAnxiety. ow.ly/SsY450wKqdY

Catchphrases aside, I very much appreciate that we are beginning to normalize medical anxiety in adults. In #ChildLife, our goal is to reduce the emotional trauma that can be associated with hospitalization illness, and injury. adults deserve this support too.

There are many factors that can cause #Scanxiety, including worries about what testing will show and fear of how the results will change your life. Learn how clear communication and better understanding of your exam can ease your mind at bit.ly/3sC7XPA #RadiologyInfo
"How often do you see patients with scanxiety?" “I see patients stressed on a regular basis about having a medical imaging exam. It stems from being worried about what the exam will show. The result has the potential to be life changing. Compassion, clear communication, and listening to the patient all help relieve anxiety.” - Radiologist
