Is it possible we’ve been going about conversation the wrong way our entire lives? All too often, when we chat with a friend or colleague, we walk away feeling unheard, misunderstood, or confused.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta speaks to Dr. Rana Awdish, who heads up a program to help doctors lead with empathy when talking with their patients.
