Let's continue our analysis.. 😎   We can categorize patients into two groups: those who are bothered by something and don't know what to do about it, and patients who already know how to alleviate their pain and are seeking targeted medical services. In this scenario, we'll establish two primary branches within the TA division: Pain and Service. Depending on the clinic's range of services, these audiences may overlap, as the pain symptoms in a specific location could necessitate one, two, or even three types of services. Intriguing, isn't it? And it gets even more fascinating when we delve into a more detailed analysis: 💁♀️ Ex. Patient K. is experiencing chest pain. Here are the options for assisting him: - General Practitioner (GP) consultation and examination - Chest X-ray - Electrocardiogram (ECG) - Echocardiogram (ECHOCG) - 24-Hour Blood Pressure Monitoring - CT scan of the thoracic spine - MRI of the thoracic spine - Ultrasound of soft tissues - Laboratory analyses - Consultation with specialized specialists - Procedures or surgery if necessary And so on.. 💁♀️ Patient A. is well aware of the necessity of an MRI of the thoracic spine due to concerns about chest pain. (Here, it is not crucial whether this examination is medically necessary; if he is willing to pay for it, we consider the matter resolved for him.) It appears that he also falls under the category of Patient K. However, in this case, the patient is seeking a specific service. It is essential to provide him with information that is as accessible and detailed as possible, covering the entire process from entering the clinic to receiving the results of the examination and outlining any potential subsequent actions. I hope this is clearer now. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them, and I will gladly answer.. 🙋♀️ #SMM #MedicalSMM #SMMClinic #TargetAudience #SMMAssistence #TargetAudienceDetails

There is growing empiric evidence to support the role of angle procedures such as goniotomy or GATT as an option for first-line surgical intervention in uveitic #glaucoma. Read more in Dr. Rebecca Chen's article from our current issue. https://lnkd.in/eKmyMuTS

Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) are prevalent among surgeons. At Medtronic, we’re committed to giving the utmost attention to surgical ergonomics in everything we do -- because your health and well-being are as important as your patients’. https://lnkd.in/eE3HrUgy Reference: Epstein S, Sparer EH, Tran BN, Ruan QZ, Dennerlein JT, Singhal D, Lee BT.

Follow-up to my earlier post about the great MINS meeting in Breckenridge earlier this month. One common theme throughout the meeting was that "minimally invasive" is a concept, not a definition. There are many different ways of doing certain procedures, whether that be a fusion or decompression (like a lumbar diskectomy). Using the example of the surgical treatment of the patient who required removal of a symptomatic lumbar disk herniation, what I took home from the meeting (ie, IMHO, your mileage may vary) as well as the many other meetings I've been to over the last 30+ years was that it mattered LESS which technique (microsurgical, microsurgical tubular approach, endoscopic uniportal, endoscopic biportal) one used as long as you were doing the right procedure at depth. In otherwords, how you achieved this was less important than the mastery with which you achieved the decompression and removal of the offending fragment(s). That mastery can only come from a combination of mentorship, training, practice, and a thougthful committment to excellence on every case. I will discuss this and other aspects of care in my upcoming webinar, "Contemporary Treatment of Lumbar Disk Herniations: a Surgeon's Perspective". Please join me for a discussion of the state of the art for conservative and surgical treaments of this common but vexing problem, which affects athletes and couch potatoes alike. We will have time at the end for questions from the participants, and this is the lead-off event of my educational seminar series. In future talks, we will discuss the science and art of managing other spinal conditions ranging from trauma, to degenerative conditions, to rarer conditions, to the latest research, to prevention of spinal injuries at home and work. Hope you can make it! https://lnkd.in/eRxypZvy 

At first glance, some symbols can encourage #bias, exclusion, and confrontation. Understanding, innovation, and communication are the hallmarks of positive change. We at Red Bloodless Medicine and Surgery are excited to become the first stewards to initiate a positive difference in Patient engagement in Patient Blood Management #pbm / Bloodless Medicine. Our mission is to focus on Patient/Consumer first. If the Patient can visualize that the healthcare provider is a partner with them toward a better outcome, then the levels of trust will be heightened. In addition, our commitment to #Anemia awareness will create a Patient and Healthcare provider bond working together with the same goal of "Building Your Own Blood." Our signage is more of a branding solution in exiting past culture. This paradigm shift will introduce new positive experiences with better outcomes for the person admitted to the medical center and opportunities for growth potential for the many Patient Blood Management/Bloodless Medicine Healthcare providers. Feel free to contact us to discuss distribution. #globalpatientbloodmanagement #Bloodlessmedicine

This patient's iliac vein was being compressed and pinched in two areas, as shown in the before image. A compressed iliac vein is a serious vascular condition known as May-Thurner Syndrome. This condition restricts blood circulation from the leg to the heart, causing debilitating leg swelling, leg cramps, and leg pain. To open the iliac vein our vascular surgeons used advanced endovascular techniques, including the placement of a stent and the deployment of a balloon within the iliac vein. This procedure effectively opened the iliac vein, restoring normal blood circulation and relieving the patient's symptoms. Our vascular surgeons leverage the latest intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) technology for precise diagnosis and treatment, ensuring the best possible outcomes. This innovative approach allows us to provide effective care on an outpatient basis, minimizing disruption to our patients' lives. If you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms of May-Thurner Syndrome, contact Milford Vascular Institute today. Our expert team is dedicated to restoring your circulation and improving your quality of life.
