Topics included navigating difficult patient interactions, setting professional boundaries, and addressing discriminatory behavior. Strategies such as assertively asserting one's role, using humor to defuse tension, and emphasizing progress measurements for patients were highlighted. The importance of family meetings, family training, and outpatient therapy continuation post-discharge were emphasized in managing patient and family expectations. The need for physiatrists' follow-up post-inpatient rehab and advocating for comprehensive care for patients post-discharge were also highlighted.
