Doctor-patient relationship

I did recover from the disease thanks to a wonderful team of doctors and nurses, but a haunting question lingers in the back of my mind. If these doctors knew at any point I was going to be a part of the LGBT community in the future, would their treatment have been different and less efficient? I have witnessed and been…

to treat Danette with great respect. Our morning went by very fast. Jeanette and I had a lot of patients come in because these centers are for walk-in situations. We never knew how many patients would come in, so Denette stressed the importance of keeping up with paperwork and not procrastinating. The computer programs that they used are called NextGen and Allscripts. NextGen was used to check-in patients. It would store the patient's demographic and insurance information into the Heritage…

Hi there: FIRST The MLE team discussed this language, and we have some general thoughts/questions. We think it’s important to include “Pain Medicine and Constipation language (PMCL)” in procedure docs since constipation can lead to dangerous complications like reopening of an incision. However, we did battle whether or not it is appropriate to include PMCL in diagnosis docs. This is because constipation is a side effect of the medicine, but not the particular diagnosis that the document is about…

of medical Assistant is the act of being involved with clients or patients on a one on one bases. The laws are very simple and must be followed not only for the personnel who is working in the office but also the client.

Referring to question 3, I believe medical providers have moral obligations to terminally ill patients’ their family members. Their obligations include explanation of the medical situation and discuss the patient's values and preferences as well as the unlikely the interventions are to produce any significant benefit known as medical futility (Jecker, 2014). Using the MORAL acronym; M = Massage the dilemma (consider what the issue really is and who is involved in the issue). The moral question…

I want it to be clear that my medical practice is there for its people and the patient is always put first. I want to promote and execute high quality care from the check-in desk to discharge. It is important to me that my practice is meeting the needs of my patients and community, knowing that this can vary depending on where my practice is located. This also means being progressive. Improving and modifying my practice will be important in continually meeting the needs of those I am there to…

at Bayshore Medical Center as a Unit Secretary. I have worked for this hospital on and off for ten years. When I first started everything was done on paper. When doctors wrote order back then, we had to send it with whatever septum that was obtained to the lab. Because the lab had to know what test to run. This changed because most doctors have terrible handwriting. Soon they need an administrative person to read and rewrite the doctor’s orders so that the lab and techs could do the correct…

the nearest hospital instead of one that was five miles away with a thoracic surgeon. The court justified the ruling saying that the paramedics could not judge the extent of the patient’s injury. A Thoracic surgeon can operate on critical care patients. They can do surgical repair of the congenital and conditions of the heart. They can also care for coronary arteries, valves, great vessels, and myocardium. Depending on the area of the wound on the shooting victim this type of surgeon could…

that the person themselves have to decide for themselves, after all it’s their body so they can choice what they want to do with it. However, the down side on Physician Assisted Suicide is that doctors are not adequately trained to perform it. This meaning maybe of easing the suffering and giving the patient a peaceful death, they are doing the complete opposite and…
