As healthcare professionals, we often focus on treating physical ailments and improving overall health. However, one aspect that is often overlooked but equally important is the impact of a patient's smile. A simple smile can make a world of difference in a patient's experience and overall well-being. . . A patient's smile can convey a sense of trust, comfort, and positivity. It can ease their fears and anxieties, especially in a medical setting where they may be feeling vulnerable. A genuine smile can also create a connection between the patient and healthcare provider, fostering a sense of empathy and understanding. . . Moreover, a patient's smile can also have a significant impact on their recovery. Studies have shown that a positive attitude and outlook can improve healing and overall health outcomes. A smile can be a powerful tool in promoting a patient's mental and emotional well-being, which is just as crucial as their physical health. . . As healthcare professionals, it is our responsibility to create a welcoming and comforting environment for our patients. A simple smile can go a long way in achieving this. It may seem like a small gesture, but its effects can be profound. . . I have personally witnessed the power of a patient's smile in my practice. It never fails to brighten my day and reminds me of the importance of human connection in healthcare. I encourage my fellow healthcare professionals to remember the impact of a patient's smile and to always strive to create a positive and uplifting experience for our patients. . . So let's not underestimate the power of a patient's smile. Let's continue to spread positivity and make a difference in the lives of those we care for. 💫✨ . .

𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗘𝗝𝗢𝗕 𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗦 𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞 𝟯𝟵/𝟱𝟮 Every day, the shortage of healthcare practitioners become increasingly glaring. The patient-to-doctor ratio becomes increasingly imbalanced, making the provision of health care not only inadequate, but potentially dangerous. In the clinics, only a specific number of patients can be seen weekly, those who do not make the list have to come back at a later time, thus the number of people who don’t get to see the doctor increases with each appointment. In the face of an ongoing but currently subtle health crisis, I’ve listed a few approaches that people who seek health care services from a doctor can take: →This is not the time to be rude and impatient at a doctor's appointment! Your doctor is probably taking on the work load of at least 3 other people, and cannot afford extra emotional stress from the people he/she is sworn to care for. → This is the time to pay more attention during your doctor's appointment: This also applies to those who accompany relatives to the hospital. Keep a note of what the doctor said the last time, medications, investigations, ask questions to clarify as much as possible. → Prioritize your health: Now, more than ever, you must adopt the habits that preserve your health for the long term, this is not the period to be careless about what you eat, as well as other health choices you make. In the end, while delivering quality health care is the responsibility of your healthcare providers, you must learn to prioritize your health and be mindful of it too. Think there’s someone or two on your timeline who needs to see this? Then repost ♻️ till they see it too! PS: This was my last week in the Surgery department, and I am beyond excited to get to my holiday to-do list🤭😅. #linkedin #medicine #housemanship

𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗔 𝟲𝟯 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗳𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗲 nervously clutched the worn blanket, beeping machines around her, the cause of her fear. As the young doctor entered, she flinched, memories of hospital visits flooding back. But the Doctor's gentle smile and warm eyes offered a different story. He sat, not at the end of the bed, but next to her, asking not just about symptoms, but about her life in general, her fears, and hopes. At that moment, the doctor wasn't just treating an illness; he was treating the person as a whole. This wasn't just his job, it was his calling, rooted in the deep compassion that flows through our society and healthcare system. His empathy allowed him to understand the old lady's anxiety, his respect calmed her nerves, and his genuine care offered comfort. This story isn't unique. 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀  𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀. Their compassion isn't just a warm feeling; it's a powerful tool. It leads to: ✓ 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝘅𝗶𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. ✓ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀. ✓ 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀. ✓𝗝𝗼𝗯 𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀. While boosting revenue might seem like a distant benefit, the foundation lies in the human connection. When patients feel valued and cared for, it brings loyalty and trust, potentially leading to a healthier, happier community that relies on the expertise offered by a compassionate healthcare system. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝘄𝘀? 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Celebrating Doctors Day! On this Doctors Day, I want to share some reflections from my own journey in medicine: 1. Your Health is Paramount - Over the years, I've seen how crucial it is for everyone to prioritize our own health. It's the cornerstone of a fulfilling life, daily care and self love is essential. Prioritize yourself. 2. Experience vs. Search Engines - In today's digital age, I've noticed that people often rely heavily on internet searches for medical advice. While the internet is a great resource, it can never replace the depth and nuance of professional medical experience and expertise. Trusting your healthcare provider can make a significant difference in your health outcomes.Aligning with patient search results never makes one a better doctor. 3. The Reality of Gratitude - I've received immense love and gratitude from patients and their families, which I deeply cherish. However, it's a reality that in challenging times, these are the first one to blame and leave. It’s a part of the profession we must navigate with resilience. 4. The Challenge of Familiar Faces - Some of my most challenging patients have been close friends and relatives. Balancing personal relationships with professional responsibilities is often tricky, requiring extra care and understanding. Be you, when comes to relatives and close friends. 5. Unsolicited Advice - A lesson I’ve learned is to never offer medical opinions unless asked. Respecting boundaries is crucial for maintaining trust and professionalism in our relationships. On this special day, let's celebrate the dedication and hard work of doctors everywhere. Happy Doctors Day to all my colleagues who tirelessly work to keep our communities healthy! #DoctorsDay #HealthcareHeroes #PatientCare #MedicalJourney #HealthFirst

Yes, a doctor actually said this to me… It’s day 12 of the @ehlers.danlos social media challenge and today is focused on experiences with health professionals. Behind every person living with a health condition is a story, a life, and a person desperately seeking care. To health professionals: your words, actions, and empathy matter more than you know. You have the power to heal not just bodies, but hearts and spirits too. Every interaction with a person living with a health condition is a chance to make a profound impact. As health professionals, you hold the power to inspire hope, instill confidence, and provide comfort. Please never underestimate the significance of your role in our journey. Be kind, believe our words and help be part of the healing, not harming 🙏🏼 What are your experiences with healthcare professionals? #EDS #EhlersDanlossyndrome #raredisease #patientengagement #patientempowerment #wordsmatter #mentalhealth
