"Earlier on in my career I had a bit of a public miscommunication during a live interview with our local news station. I misunderstood the question that the reporter asked in regards to one of our new patient initiatives. My answer ended up making little sense and I fumbled a bit. Realizing my error, I made a bit of a joke and then answered the question the way it was intended. All in all, it worked out okay. It was a bit embarrassing though."
