Mood and Medical Procedures
Dr. Lang suggested that healthcare teams should be trained in resilience and techniques to create their own positive emotional states, as well as coping strategies to help patients modify negative emotions and reframe their mindset prior to undergoing a procedure.
Hart GA Time for attitude adjustment for cranky, uncaring medical staff. :) It's science now.

Zara Altair that's an awareness learning path. Great share, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI think everyone would be in a "better" place if the process was more "accommodating" to the patient... how about reduced wait times (within an hour of the scheduled apt.), redundant paper work, redundant questions without referencing documentation, timely and accurate billing of procedures and lab tests... for a start.
ReplyDeleteI know these things would put me in a better mood.
Hart GA Yes, the redundancy is overwhelming. I am completely baffled by why a medical alert is not directly under my patient identification (name, number, etc.) In my case that would be Breast Cancer, No Stick Right Arm, No Blood Pressure Right Arm. Not one medical worker has looked at the medical alert bracelet on my right arm. Not one lab technician has known to draw blood from the left arm. Not one nurse/medical assistant has known to take blood pressure on the left arm. I have to tell them. This is not a whimsical personal preference.
ReplyDeleteWhen I ask why they don't know and why that warning is not attached to my name the answer is always the same, "It's the system." Seems to me a research and teaching facility would insist that medical warnings be attached to any patient with a warning, especially in the current "doctors without balls" medical environment where fear of lawsuits takes precedence.
Well, there, I got that off my chest. :)
Ironically Zara Altair I have/had the same problem with my Left Arm: No Stick, No Blood Pressure (DVT) and have received the same "lame" excuse... My Biggest Peeve is signing that I received a copy of Patient's Privacy Policy - when they know, damn well, they did not hand one to me (saves on paper) and when I ask for one they have to go and search for one (if they can find one?!)... How many people have not gotten a copy ?! Unless I decline a copy it is a Federal Law for them to provide me one... "HIPAA Privacy Rules" aaaarrrghhh !!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHart GA Well, I did get the privacy policy the very first time I visited when I moved to Oregon.
ReplyDeleteZara Altair thanks for sharing!
