Dr. Cherie Salisbury of Novant Health Primary Care NoDa might diagnose a patient with strep throat, another with arthritis and a third with diabetes – all before lunchtime. As a primary care physician, this ‘Jill of all trades’ considers being a good listener a job requirement. But that’s not the only way she goes above and beyond. She says that praying with those in her care is one of her favorite parts of the job. While there’s no pressure to take her up on the offer, studies have shown it may improve outcomes when doctors engage in spiritual care when patients ask for it.

I've been having trouble with this issue for some time. I always go to the doctor for issues with my lower and now upper back, knee problems, and more. I find it hard to remember all my symptoms that led me to schedule the visit and when the time comes I feel a bit rushed and unprepared. This article mentions some great tips that everyone should incorporate. The first tip is important because I forgot to mention 2 symptoms to the doctor and it's hard enough to get the appointment, but trying to contact them after is even more difficult. It's caused me to have a bad patient experience which might lead to me switching coverage next year. #patientadvocacy / #patientexperience / #memberexperience https://lnkd.in/ggH_zbB2

Shock Index is a tool that’s used by paramedics and EMTs to predict outcomes after physical trauma. The Shock Index measurement has been shown to be especially reliable at predicting hospital outcomes in rural areas where routes to the hospital are longer, and has been shown to provide a good indication of mortality when compared to other methods such as taking vital signs. Though the prehospital Shock Index has received some criticism, studies have shown Shock Index to be a much better indicator of the first signs of shock in trauma patients with catastrophic blood loss than vital signs in isolation. It is a method that can be helpful for determining if a patient needs intensive care, and also for identifying patients with higher chances of survival in cases of multiple trauma. #stopthebleed #bleedingcontrol #firstaid #firstresponder #TRUERESCUE https://lnkd.in/gEZPu5q2

Hip fractures are a common and painful occurrence in Canada, with data showing roughly 30,000 patients present with hip fractures a year, and more than 30 per cent of those patients are over the age of 85.
