    Description

    Truth telling is an ethical pillar of medicine. But, are there instances when it is ever ok to lie? In this episode of the GeriPal podcast we explore the use of deception and lies in modern healthcare, including those sweet little “therapeutic lies” commonly used in dementia care. For more about this topic, and some good articles about it, visit GeriPal.org.
