In the world of healthcare, a profound bond exists between clinicians and their patients. This connection is not only about providing medical care but also about the emotional and psychological impact that this relationship has on both parties. 🏥💕 As clinicians, our primary focus is the well-being of our patients. We strive to alleviate their pain, to provide comfort, and to guide them through their health journey. Each patient is unique, with individual needs and concerns that require personalized care and attention. 😷👨⚕️👩⚕️ What often goes unnoticed, however, is the profound effect that patients have on us, their clinicians. Each patient interaction enriches our practice, broadens our perspective, and deepens our empathy. We learn from their strength, resilience, and positivity in the face of adversity. 💪👊 The stories that our patients share serve as constant reminders of why we chose this profession. They inspire us to continually strive for excellence and to never lose sight of our mission - to heal, to comfort, and to care. 🙏💖 The clinician-patient relationship is a beautiful, reciprocal bond that goes beyond the confines of a medical facility. It is a lifelong journey of learning, growing, and healing together. As clinicians, we are infinitely grateful for the opportunity to be a part of our patients' lives and for the impact they have on us. 🌟🌍 #bethechange #healthehealers #physicianburnout #healthcareculture

In my weekend reading, I delved into the American College of Physicians Annals of Internal Medicine - overview of Acute Diverticulitis. Little did I know, it would come in handy sooner than expected! Yesterday, a patient came into our practice with symptoms suggestive of diverticulitis. I felt well-prepared and informed to provide the best care possible.💡 As a physician, I understand the profound impact of staying updated and knowledgeable. It's not just about knowing the facts; it's about empowering myself to make a real difference in patients' lives. 🩺 There is no greater satisfaction than applying science and expertise to help a patient navigate their health journey. Together, we can make a difference, one informed decision at a time! #Healthcare #Science #KnowledgeIsPower 🚀 https://lnkd.in/g5TShngM

A team based approach to #healthcare is fine as long as it does not involve de-skilling and/or lead to the privatization of healthcare. More private clinics in the healthcare paradigm can not be tolerated.

Kathleen Ross This is not true statement that you have limited number of health care workers. Your health system is descriminating with IMG’s. You have many IMG’s who passed LMCC and worked as General Practitioners in back home for years but here you are ready to add them in system even when patients are dying in emergency rooms without treatment. Your IMG’s are working as Clinical Assisstant in many provinces and handling energencies/ active and primary care but after years there is no promise to them for independent license. You are allowing NP and PA to practice independently in rural areas but no for IMG’s. You have opened PRO/ PRA programs but just an eye wash as lot of barriers for IMG’s. Post graduation in family medicine is one of the criteria in PRO but this is introduce very late in Asian countries as After MBBS these IMG’s are considered as General Practitioners in back home and work same like FP here. You can open some bridging programs for 6 month for these IMG’s with LMCC registration and assess and train them for independent practice under limited license for 1-2 years and then promote to full license. Those who are working as CA in hospitals are very well trained in canadian healthcare system but they are ignored.

In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, the balance between doctor hustle and patient intolerance is a delicate dance. Here's a brief reflection: As doctors, we hustle tirelessly to provide the best care possible for our patients. We dedicate long hours, stay updated with the latest medical advancements, and strive to deliver compassionate and effective treatment. However, in a fast-paced world where instant gratification is the norm, patient intolerance can sometimes cloud the doctor-patient relationship. Patients may expect immediate solutions, quick fixes, or miracles, overlooking the complexities and uncertainties of medical practice. Finding the equilibrium between doctor hustle and patient intolerance is essential. It requires effective communication, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to patient-centered care. While doctors hustle to diagnose, treat, and heal, patients must also exercise patience, trust, and understanding. Let's foster a culture of collaboration and empathy in healthcare, where doctors and patients work together as partners in the pursuit of health and wellness. #Healthcare #DoctorPatientRelationship #Collaboration #Empathy #LinkedIn

An Eye-Opener in Rural Healthcare Some days, an epiphany happens, that shakes us to the very core of our being. As doctors we often forget the human connection, which is so critically important. Like in each human relationship- the power of listening is underrated, as it is in the medical profession. We discovered this quite by accident. In rural areas, the average time a patient spends in front of a doctor is between 10 to 15 seconds, despite waiting in line for 6 to 7 hours, especially if the doctor is well-known. Our training emphasized the importance of listening to the patient, as the clue to the diagnosis often lies in their complaints. While tests and x-rays help validate clinical suspicions, the initial suspicion comes from understanding the patient’s story. I vividly remember our first encounter with a patient where we spent about five minutes with them, most of which involved listening. The patient's reaction was profound. One of them even told Chandril, "Dr. Sahab, I can't believe it, you listened to me. Today, for the first time, someone has listened to me." This moment of genuine connection validated our decision to leave our comfortable lives and start this initiative. Despite the challenges of being in an unfamiliar place, this experience reaffirmed that our approach of listening and understanding was absolutely right. It was a powerful reminder of the impact compassionate healthcare can have on individuals. #RuralHealthcare #ListeningMatters #PatientCare #HealthcareInnovation #DrGoodDeed
