| As being a health care provider i feel that medicine can be made by having better equipment so we can provide the proper health care for the patients and by doing that our turn over ratio will not be sohigh with patients coming back for the same problems more >>> |
| I don't understand why there still is medicine out here that has side effects that will kill you rather than cure you. I understand there is a trial and error process, but do no one take in comsideration of the issues that could happen to the patient. Radiation for cancer patients is one thing. I watched my grandmother go from feeling great to feeling like the side-effects will never end. Although she was apart of a experimental drug group; she was the only one to still be alive. Everyone see all these commercials of a type of medicine that ... more >>> |
| When I was undergoing chemo, I ALWAYS brought my music with me. Some patients enjoyed it as well. I would make and bring several cassettes (1998)to share. I remember an instance being wheeled into the OR and heard country music. I asked if they could change the station because country wasn't my favorite genre. :) I saw this story on CNN and wished I had had that nurse! He really cared and showed it through his music. I believe music is VERY healing, soothing and caring goes a long way toward a patient's progress. http://www.fox... more >>> |
| Many years ago, you could tell who was a nurse and who was there to clean your room. Now you cannot tell the difference. When I am out shopping, I see hospital workers, all sorts, out shopping in their uniforms. My opinion is whereever they go and whatever they do from the time they get dressed until the time they go to work, their clothes are collecting germs, germs from their sick children, handling dirty money, touching dirty things in general, then they go to work and their clothes come in contact with me, the patient. This transfers... more >>> |

| I am a Patient Care Tech at Missouri Baptist Medical Center. Let me tell you that being there is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I have been working there for nine years, and have had only 6 1/2 bad days there. I bring a little joy everyday to my patients, to my co-workers to Missouri Baptist, oh wait, we call it MOBAP. It is so exciting working there, everyday, you get to help someone, or give a smile to a coworker or a doctor. I am proud to work for BJC, and can truly say that there are days when things get a little tough,... more >>> |
| I was navigating thru this site and was somewhat shocked when I clicked on th catagory "caregiver" and got this reply "There are no blogs to display." In "making medicine better", discussing health care, debating reform, or just living a "day in the life." I believe caregiving is at the foundation of what we do. We provide "Exceptional Care". I've worked as a patient advocate. I spent a lot of hours in the emergency department. The challenges to provide quality care were the only constant. I often heard from family members when we missed the... more >>> |
