Healthcare has often looked at sleep and rest as an after thought. And, acquiring sleep debt is a normalized behavior in many frontline medical environments. But being world-class as a surgeon or nurse requires high “executive function”— skills like reaction time, awareness, and problem identification. As it turns out, Executive Function is a direct byproduct of being well-rested. Here, our Science Advisor, Kristen Holmes, discusses how world-class patient safety starts with being well-rested. #healthcareperformance #highperformancemedicine #sacredworldofmedicine #sleeprecovery

As a medical doctor who has been in the field one of the things that I have figured out is how weight management is underestimated and how these people are struggling. So to alleviate this tension we have created an online weight clinic " The Doctor's Weight Clinic" where people can get their meal plan prepared according to their medical, and physical condition. #obesity #thedoctorsweightclinic #health #healthandwellness

Common ENT Problems and When to See a Specialist: Continuing from our previous discussion on the importance of regular ENT check-ups, today we delve into some common ENT problems and when it might be time to consult a specialist. Many of us experience occasional earaches, sore throats, or nasal congestion, but how do we know when these symptoms require professional attention? Here are a few signs that it might be time to see an ENT specialist: 1. Persistent Ear Pain or Hearing Loss: Chronic ear pain, recurrent ear infections, or a noticeable decrease in hearing could indicate underlying issues that need to be addressed. 2. Chronic Sinusitis: If you’re frequently dealing with sinus infections that don’t improve with standard treatments, it might be time for a thorough evaluation. 3. Sore Throat: While most sore throats are caused by viral infections, persistent or severe pain could be a sign of a more serious condition. 4. Balance Issues: Problems with balance or dizziness can often be traced back to issues within the ear and may require specialized care. 5. Snoring or Sleep Apnea: Loud snoring or pauses in breathing during sleep can affect overall health and quality of life. Don’t ignore these signs – your ENT health is crucial for your overall well-being. At Khan ENT And Medical Care Center, we’re dedicated to providing comprehensive care for all your ENT needs. https://lnkd.in/dWNhXmT5 #ENTHealth #Healthcare #Wellness #ENTSpecialist

A tale from the clinic: Through empathy and compassion, restoring more than just vision. Yesterday, I gained another valuable lesson in my profession. Trust me, there's always more to learn; one can never know everything. I encountered an elderly patient, who was lamenting her failing eyesight. She was anxiously awaiting her turn, worried about her vision. After a thorough examination, I discovered mature cataracts in her left eye and incipient ones in her right. Understanding the delicate nature of delivering such news to an elderly patient, especially one with high blood pressure, I called in her daughter to discuss the findings. Together, we explored treatment options and the path forward. Meanwhile, I sat with my patient holding her hand gently, assuring her that her vision could be restored. I empathized with her frustration and fear, offering words of encouragement and hope. This experience taught me the importance of empathy, patience, and tact when dealing with geriatric patients. It's crucial to involve family members in discussions, especially when delivering difficult news. And above all, offering reassurance and support can make all the difference in their journey towards better health and well-being As a medical practitioner, demonstrating empathy, patience, and offering words of encouragement can significantly contribute to the healing process. #EyeCareProfessional #OptometryLife #VisionHealth #EyeHealthMatters #OptometryCare #EyewearFashion #HealthyEyes #EyeExam #EyeDoctor #OpticalCare #EyeHealthAwareness #OptometristCommunity #EyeCareTips #VisionCare #EyeWellness

Envision waking up for the first time on a ventilator. Being kept alive by machines can be unsettling and scary. Now, fast forward and imagine the relief and swell of emotion at being taken off the ventilator, and for the first time in weeks being able to utter "I love you" to loved ones. That is the goal of the critical care team. Freeing a patient from a ventilator is a combined effort involving pulmonary physicians, respiratory and speech therapists, and physical and occupational therapists. Ventilator liberation is a procedure that gradually decreases a patient’s reliance on the machine. It slowly allows a patient’s lungs to assume more of the breathing function and ultimately frees the patient from the ventilator. The care team uses various tools and treatments, based on a patient’s need, to assist in resuming speech and swallowing functions. These tools could include speaking valves, inspiratory and/or expiratory muscle trainers and various breathing techniques. The goal is to help our patient breathe independently again and return their ability to speak, eat and drink on their own, all while providing excellent care. As we observe Critical Care Recognition Month, we’ll dive more into each of the Five Whys. To learn more visit: https://bit.ly/4bKSv8q #criticalcarerecognitionmonth #thefivewhys
