Beverly Hospital’s Post

𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊: 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐒 𝐃𝐈𝐃 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐊? I asked our Pathology team what went well for them last week, and here are a few of their thoughts: ✅ Congratulations to CBSET’s Hayden Dillow! He just found out that his poster abstract submission for ACVP2024 was accepted! So he’ll be joining us pathologists in Seattle in December for the annual meeting. ✅ Our Histology Team has been really stretched recently, between histology projects and other priority tasks that have pulled our team members in different directions. They’ve done an admirable job of keeping up! ✅ Our Necropsy team has similarly done a great job of strategizing to meet study timelines and navigate complex study needs. ✅ Our IHC scientist continues to do an excellent job. He is currently working on various method development projects to optimize some markers that have previously been temperamental. He’s getting some great results! ✅ Nicole Cedrone and Madi Keefe fine tuned their plumbing skills this week. After an equipment leak, they decided to hit the aisles of Home Depot to pick up some tubing, and they managed to seal the leak point! Move over MacGyver! ———————————————— WHY AM I SHARING THIS? I work in a fast-paced research environment, in which there’s a never-ending conveyer belt of work, with long days, tight deadlines, and unplanned extra stuff that throws a spanner into the works literally every day. I bet most of you can relate to much of all of this. It takes a dedicated team with their eye on the mission to come together and do their best to win the week. I’m privileged to be part of one such team. Every weekend, I like to reflect on the wins we had in our department during the past week. It’s easy to focus on the frustrations, the curveballs, or what you didn’t quite check off the To Do list. So I find that a little positive reframing is not just a good reminder of what went well, but also sets me up for a positive start to the new week. I try to remember to share some of these wins here, because it makes them seem more real.

Today we’re celebrating #WorldClinicalTrialsDay! It’s been a remarkable 277 years since James Lind (a ship’s surgeon in the British Royal Navy) conducted the first-ever randomised clinical trial and discovered that citrus fruits could help cure scurvy. As a company dedicated to maximising the success of clinical trials, we understand the profound impact they can have on patients worldwide. Whilst we have come a long way, there's still immense potential to make clinical trials even more effective and get treatments to patients much faster. That’s why we’d like to join our Head of Clinical Development, @Geoff Brooks, in saying a special thank you to: - The researchers who tirelessly design and conduct these trials. - The patients who volunteer their time and participation. - The skilled healthcare professionals who ensure patient safety and data integrity. - And everyone else involved in bringing new medical solutions to market. As for our Weatherden colleagues, your combined 900+ years of experience in clinical development is instrumental in designing effective trials, and getting effective solutions to patients faster. Thank you for helping us on our mission to give every drug its best chance of success!

I had the pleasure of delivering the keynote to the Tacoma MEDEX class 10. It was an honor to see 30 newly minted PAs full of excitement as they embark on their careers. I am adding my remarks. The 12 lessons I learned after 40 years. 1. Stay humble no matter how accomplished you become, humility keeps you honest. Don't be afraid to ask for help. 2. Listening is an art. The three other instruments to bring to the exam room are Your eyes hands and compassion. It is a sacred place. Patients trust you by your very presence. They will share stories, don't be shocked. Save your shock for outside the room. Be prepared for door know moments, it's the reason they need to be seen. 3. Fear is good. If the patient is going to keep you up at night, you're not done. Develop a strong differential, if you don't think of the disease you'll never find it. Follow up. 4. Treat the patient not the disease. Who is this patient? what obstacles do they face in finding care? Can they afford your prescription and plan? 5. Never take away hope even in a terminal illness. Assess what they want to know, help your patients prepare for the worst and hope for the best because patients change what they hope for. Don't be afraid to share their sorrow. It shows you're human. 6. Get out of your "fraidy hole" (Oklahoma term for where you go there's a tornado) never be afraid to ask for help. 7. Always do the right thing. Every patient deserves your best. 8. If the shoe doesn't fit, find another shoe. Find the organization that will help you thrive as a PA. 9. Be kind. There will be times you will be challenged by patients physicians and organizations. State your case without anger and you will be heard. 10. You can guide healing when there is no cure by providing a safe place built with empathy. You will meet courageous patients, let then teach you how to live. 11. You are the future of medicine. Medicine is about finding our share humanity in a world constantly pressuring us to take shortcuts and to rely on impersonal ways of managing complex human problems. It takes a team. 12. Join your state and national organization and bring your time and talent. We're here to help. Good luck and may the force be with you. Congratulations

Easter and the Lab... A Story of Renewal! Easter symbolizes rebirth and new beginnings. It's a time to appreciate the growth and renewal in our field. Just as nature rejuvenates, the medical laboratory breathes life into healthcare. It's a reminder of the unseen work that leads to new discoveries. What else do Easter and MLS have in common? Both are about bringing hope and new life. Just as Easter marks a season of renewal, the lab is constantly evolving with new technologies and findings. Our work in diagnostics and research leads to better patient outcomes. Today is an opportunity to reflect on our contributions and to look forward to the innovations that lie ahead. Let's celebrate the spirit of Easter by embracing change and growth in our profession. How are you experiencing renewal in your role? #laboratory #medicallaboratory #biomedicalscience
