Reflecting on my own journey, I recall a time when visits to the doctor were few and far between, and the significance of preventative care meant nothing to me. As men, as we navigate through life, various responsibilities and societal norms may impede our focus on our well-being. The excuse list grows as we age: family commitments, demanding careers, and perhaps a skepticism towards traditional medicine. However, neglecting routine health checkups and screenings can inadvertently shorten our lifespan. The influence of "masculinity norms" often perpetuates a hesitancy among men to seek medical attention, especially preventive care. When compounded with racial disparities, men of color face additional challenges in prioritizing their health. It's crucial to acknowledge that by obtaining the knowledge of healthy living practices and fostering the resolve to act upon it, we have the power to avert numerous health issues. By proactively addressing our health needs, we not only empower ourselves but also set a positive example for those around us. Let's prioritize our well-being and redefine what it means to embody strength and resilience. #HealthAwareness #PreventativeCare #EmpowerYourHealth #MensHealth #WellnessJourney #Remarkable #Novanthealth

This article highlights some of the reasons people are reluctant to avoid medical care—including cost and access challenges—and how relatives and friends can provide the right encouragement. Of course, not everyone has a loved one in their life who can serve in this role—making the role that local, trusted Community-Based Organizations play even more important. #SDoH #SocialDeterminantsofHealth #lonelinessepidemic #communityengagement

Empowering Patients with Expert Advocacy & Navigation | Transforming Healthcare Journeys | Combatting Systemic Indifference | Founder, Patient Advocates of Southwest FL, LLC
I’ve come to appreciate how circumstances expose crossroads that shape our destinies. One pivotal decision altered the course of my journey—not merely as a patient advocate, but as an individual intent on navigating my health and overall well-being. This transformation emerged not overnight but with a resounding wake-up call: one single diagnosis that would redefine my approach to managing healthcare—obesity. Embarking on a Proactive Journey I’m not going to lie; the realization did not come easily. Described as a “. . . tall girl with big bones,” in my childhood, weight was never a topic of conversation. As a career driven adult experiencing health challenges in my 40’s, I received a revelation during a routine a post-op visit with a nurse practitioner I had just met. The “O” diagnosis marked a turning point, challenging my understanding of “healthy eating” and prompting a desire for change. This revelation became a catalyst for a proactive approach. No longer would I view my health from a reactive stance, waiting for symptoms to emerge before acting. No longer would I be a passive recipient of medical care, I now actively manage my healthcare journey, fueled by a desire for empowerment and well-being—not just for myself but for others seeking a similar path. . . https://bit.ly/49IPogi #wellness #wellnessmatters #wellnessjourney

I wanted to share a personal experience that underscores the importance of compassionate healthcare, resilience, & the impact of human connection. Over a year and a half ago, I began experiencing back pain & neurological symptoms. Despite numerous medical appointments, my concerns were often dismissed or misdiagnosed. It was a frustrating and challenging time. During a visit to the Emerg at University Health Network, I finally found a doctor who took my concerns seriously. He listened, investigated thoroughly, & we discovered that I had a back fracture. His empathy & dedication stood out in a sea of indifferent consultations. Fast forward a year & a half later, I found myself back in UHN Emerg, this time hospitalized for four days with two punctured lungs from an acupuncture session gone wrong. After treatment, I returned home, trying to recover from yet another health setback. Yesterday, I received a call from UHN, and before answering I’m wondering what could be wrong now. To my surprise, it was the same doctor who had helped me with my back issue over a year ago. He told me he had seen my name on the ER list and wanted to check on me, saying, “I happened to be in the ER that day, and when I saw your name I couldn’t help but think what a ride you’ve been on over the last year, and I just genuinely wanted to see how you’re doing and if I can help you in any way. You let me know what I can do for you”. This simple gesture had a profound impact on me. It wasn’t just a follow-up call; it was a reminder that someone genuinely cared about my well-being. In a world where #healthcare can often feel impersonal, this doctor’s empathy and dedication were a beacon of comfort. My journey has taught me several valuable lessons: #CompassionateHealthcare matters. Genuine care and concern from healthcare providers can make a significant difference in a patient’s journey. Resilience in the face of adversity is crucial. My journey has been filled with ups and downs, but the support & understanding from compassionate healthcare professionals have been crucial in navigating these challenges. The impact of #HumanConnection cannot be overstated. A simple phone call from a doctor who remembered my case and cared enough to check on me (without talking to me for over a year) was incredibly meaningful. It highlighted the power of human connection in healthcare. The power of a gesture can be profound. Sometimes, a small gesture can have a significant impact. That call made me feel seen, heard, and valued, reinforcing the importance of empathy in healthcare. Moral of the Story: Never stop advocating for yourself. Persisting in seeking the care you need, even when faced with dismissals and misdiagnoses. Your health and well-being are worth fighting for. It’s these elements that not only help us navigate our toughest challenges but also remind us that we are never truly alone. I raise a pulse oximeter to compassionate #providers. 🥂

"Empowering Leaders with Emotional Intelligence & AI Insights | Helping Professionals Build Resilient Careers".
🚩The Psychological Fear of Hospital Appointments🚩 I am sad to report that my colonoscopy and gasconscopy was unsuccessful. I could not bear the pain on both procedures and almost had a non epileptic seizure. Thankfully I did ask the team to stop and made it home safely yet felt quite traumatised by the event. No disrespect to the NHS from East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust who did a brilliant job in trying to reassure me. Sadly most NHS staff simply do not understand the how NEAD (non-epileptic attack disorder) effects patients mental health and ability to have numerous tests. The Innovation needed Its not easy trying to cater for all patient needs. Whilst we all suffer different conditions every opportunity to understand how a condition affects patients stability and health before a procedure should take place. I am leaning on innovation to investigate such cases where failed procedures do happen through no blame anywhere other than anxiety and discomfort which happens to us all. I am mildly using my experience to give feedback and improve on global health systems. A good innovation framework would allow feedback and failed procedures to merge new innovations and reviews where needed. Regards, Stephen Fahey
