Rightly said. Basic medical literacy is an absolute necessity where one should be aware of the medications being prescribed and consumed. Being medical professionals, let's strive to make it a reality. Basic medical literacy, a right, indeed! #basicmedicalliteracy #health #righttohealth
I am now a pro advisor for having an MBBS graduate in a family As a doctor, I've often advised against pursuing a career in medicine, citing the field's saturation. However, two recent incidents in my own house have profoundly reshaped my perspective. First, my mother has a history of anaphylaxis to pantoprazole. She once went into cardiorespiratory arrest after just one shot of the drug.We were fortunate to have the event in a secondary care setting which aided in swift management of the attack. I also made sure she informed physicians of her allergy during any visits. Despite this, a physician recently prescribed pantoprazole to her again. Luckily, she always checks her prescriptions with me first before taking, and I was able to catch this potentially fatal error just in time. Secondly, just yesterday, my father experienced acute urinary retention. I received a call in the middle of the night, and based on his symptoms, I made a provisional diagnosis. I reassured my parents and advised them to visit a local hospital, where he received the necessary urinary catheterization. He is now awaiting a consultation with a urologist. My medical knowledge and network of contacts in various specialties were invaluable in managing this situation swiftly and effectively. These experiences made me realise the critical importance of having a person with medical knowledge within a family. What if I were just an ordinary citizen without such knowledge or connections? The anxiety and potential for misdiagnosis could have led to serious complications. How often do we misjudge a myocardial infarction as mere gastritis? Given the increasing diversification within the medical profession, my initial stance on the saturation of the field seems less tenable. Having a #doctor in the family—or at least someone with a fundamental understanding of medical concepts—remains invaluable. Completing an #MBBS not only opens numerous opportunities for an advanced career in the healthcare sector but also equips one with essential knowledge that can save lives within the family or in a close circle in case of dire emergencies. In essence, everyone should strive for basic medical literacy, which can then be supported by healthcare professionals. The value of this knowledge cannot be overstated, as it can make the difference between life and death in critical situations. #mbbs #medical #family #careeradvice #lifeevents #basicmedicalliteracy

Physiotherapists are underappreciated in the medical field. Here's why I say that. ⍗ I was involved in this case with a trauma patient years ago. We'll call him DJ. DJ ended up, unfortunately, paraplegic but as a multidisciplinary team... we did our best to try and get him off the ventilator and rehabilitated. None of this would have been possible if it weren't for the physiotherapist. And that's why I say this is such an underappreciated discipline in the medical field but so important. DJ was heavily reliant on our Physio's. He was trach'd And dependent on trying to clear his secretions... Because of that, the chest physio was everything. But unfortunately, we were in the era of healthcare cuts, and we moved into a long weekend and DJ didn't get his chest physio. And I imagine the folks who work in the ICU can guess what happened next. He gets a mucus plug and gets pneumonia, and all that work we had done to try and get him rehabilitated is reversed. Now we're three steps back because of our lack of insight and forward-thinking in saying: "We need to invest in our allied health. These are the people who are getting our patients out of hospital and out of the ICU." I felt that way then, I still feel that way now. What's your take? Do you feel similarly? If so hit that repost button and spread this message further. ♻️ #healthcare #health #hospitals #doctors #leadership

In the world of medicine, the power of a good doctor's comforting and reassuring words should never be underestimated. While medications and treatments are essential in healing the body, the impact of a doctor's empathy, understanding, and encouragement can often be just as significant in the recovery process. 👩🏻⚕️ #WorkHealthcare #HealthcareProfessionals #HealthcareJobs #Hiring #UK #GP #DentalJobs #JobSearch #JobTrend #UKNews
