What happens when the clinician becomes the patient?
In this relaunch episode of RDHView, Kathleen Bokrossy is joined by Jennifer Cicci, RDH — head and neck cancer survivor — and Jo-Anne Jones, RDH, an internationally recognized leader in oral cancer education.
Jennifer shares her deeply personal journey through oral cancer from the unique perspective of both a dental hygienist and a patient, while Jo-Anne reflects on what clinicians must understand about the evolving reality of oral cancer screening today.
This conversation is more than a story. It is a reminder of the importance of vigilance, compassion, and truly seeing the patient behind the chair.
An emotional and educational episode for every dental professional.
