The one co-pay that wasn't paid was for my emergency room visit of January 3, 2012. I wasn't even asked for that because my emergency room co-pays have always been asked for during discharge from the ER. However, I was not discharged that night and was directly admitted from the ER as an inpatient. I didn't pay the bills resulting from hospital visits after the MRI/MRCP pre-approval denials (of December 2011) because I knew the insurance company was very wrong for having denied them. I knew I had to question their decision and planned on getting legal advise on the matter.…
Jeffrey, I agree, the instant feedback that Shadow Health gives was very helpful. Knowing right away that area of the assessment that could be improved upon was helpful for me to understand the importance of it. My one critique is that I found I asked the same question over and over for different body systems. It would have been nice if that information could auto-populate on the texting screen prior to starting the question/answer portion of the exam. I understand the same question may be relevant for different systems, however, we had the same patient throughout the class.…

Dr. Flanagan’s risk assessment I would say it compares a lot to the reading assignment journal, “A tool for the culturally competent assessment of suicide: The Cultural Assessment of Risk for Suicide (CARS) measure. Psychological Assessment.” Dr. Flanagan’s risk assessment interview with Tommi is base on the depression assessment. I noticed that Dr. Flanagan started the evaluation confirming her culture.

Every Patient Tells a Story was a great book that offered unique perspectives on patient care. It provided an alternative way of thinking and approach to the physical examination. One of the first sections of the book that I found interesting described an analogy of a mechanic checking a vehicle. Mechanics cannot just check under the hood and see if a part needs to be replaced. Mechanics as with medical professionals need to take a detailed assessment and based on their findings are able to make an informed decision.…

In the future I must remember to enquire about the clients past history of visiting a nutritionist and ensure my limitations are clear.…
