When dealing with hemorrhoids, professional medical care can make all the difference.

Fascinating research conducted in an emergency ward sheds light on potential discrimination based on a patient's appearance. To sum it up, when it comes to chest pain, men tend to receive higher priority compared to women. This aligns with findings from a study I conducted several years ago (prior to joining WHO) focusing on the elderly. The research revealed that elderly individuals accompanied by someone received higher priority and better care in the emergency ward compared to those who were alone. https://lnkd.in/dA6CdERx

It’s really shocking to me that Florida’s Surgeon General (and head of the Department of Health) Dr. Joseph Lapado is “deferring to parents or guardians” to make decisions about attending school in the midst of a measles outbreak. https://lnkd.in/ejvV8NK3 Not sure what he is thinking, so want to remind him of his duties under Florida statute, particularly 1 (b). Note that it says “The Department shall implement interventions…. The 2023 Florida Statutes (including Special Session C) Title IV EXECUTIVE BRANCH Chapter 20 ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE View Entire Chapter 20.43 Department of Health.—There is created a Department of Health. (1) The purpose of the Department of Health is to protect and promote the health of all residents and visitors in the state through organized state and community efforts, including cooperative agreements with counties. The department shall: (a) Identify, diagnose, and conduct surveillance of diseases and health conditions in the state and accumulate the health statistics necessary to establish trends.

When do you feel the right time to start having these conversations?

No more excuses, guys! “I had a check-up a while back. I’m not exactly sure when it started. I just didn’t think it was a big deal.”   These are words that doctors and nurses have heard more times than they can count, often from male patients who opt to ‘tough it out’ with seemingly insignificant healthcare concerns that later snowball into long-term problems. As an employer, you know the story, too, no doubt.   While we live in a society where health awareness is certainly on the rise in the workplace and at home, many men continue to overlook the importance of early intervention. This means that largely preventable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and others continue to be among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among men.   The good news is that there is a solution for getting the guys to become more proactive about their health packaged in a primary healthcare solution that is practical, convenient for them and highly affordable for you. With MediClub™, brought to you by National HealthCare Group, it starts by sending a quick and confidential WhatsApp to a qualified nurse who can assist with professional healthcare advice, arrange OTC medication and make GP referrals when needed. What could be simpler than that?   Furthermore, with cover for minor procedures in GP rooms, prescribed medication, pathology and radiology tests as well as basic dentistry, annual basic health checks and more, your employees have everything they need to stay on top of their health – an invaluable resource right there in their life’s toolkit.   #affordablecare #primarycare #healthtoolkit #preventablediseases #mediclub #menshealth #preventativecare #earlydetection #nationalhealthcaregroup
