Mayo-Clinic has been one of the few companies that have truly understood the special nature of service and what it means to marketers.

of their maturity level (“Sex, ETC, 1). In many clinics in Kansas and throughout the United States, they will keep the minors prescriptions and record’s private from their family. The clinics will also keep the minor’s information such as appointments, and billings confidential. All the minor has to do is tell the nurse that they want their information kept from their parents (Boonstra, Nash, 1). I understand there are many advantages of these clinics, for example, they potentially help keep the…

to pick to do his blood pressure and pulse oxygen. I also let him play with my stethoscope when I was getting the blood pressure cuff set up. 2. Describe specific strategies you used to promote and provide family centered care in the outpatient clinic setting. a. I went around to my nurses patients a couple times to see if they needed anything. I made sure they knew what I was doing before I did it. I also talked to the parents some about life in general. 3.

This week, I started to see patients on my own at the Health Department. I saw more infants compare to when I was at the Vine Clinic. I noticed there is a high prevalence of Hispanic patient population in this office, which explained why there were three Spanish interpreters at the site. The preceptor who I am with also can speak some Spanish. I do see the benefit of having a bilingual provider when serving a population like this. Despite of having the interpreter available, there are multiple…

People wait months to be treated by some of the best medical professionals in the country; one of whom happens to be my grandfather.

Since I am pro-choice, I think that abortion clinics should be regularly inspected by city/state health departments to ensure that women who choose abortions are getting them done in a safe, clean environment. This is important to prevent incidents like Philadelphia’s “House of Horrors” from…

My clinic client that I observe has his therapy session on Tuesdays at 10:15. He is around 3 years old and originally had the diagnosis of language delay. His diagnosis has changed from that to developmental articulation disorder and expressive language disorder. One thing that surprised me was that most of the activities during the therapy session are the client is just playing and then the clinician tries to get him to produce words and utterances.

The Mayo Clinic describes obesity as a “complex disorder involving an excessive amount of body fat”. Even though most people think that obesity is solely a cosmetic issue, the major issues that it causes are anything but superficial. Obesity kills approximately 300,000 people per year and by 2030 it is predicted that half of Americans will be overweight or obese. Along with the 35% of Americans who die from obesity each year, 15% of them are male and 20% of them are female. Obesity can increase…
