Let's talk Non-Responders or Slow Responders This will be part 1 - some of the things I go over first are the actual home program/Recovery Plan and the patient's understanding of it. Are they actually sticking to it? A Big part of my Recovery Plans is temporary avoidance of triggering activities/positions. I think this is often missed or at least not stressed. You can have the best self treatment options available, and the patient is ultra compliant, but they are negating any self treatment effects by one or more activities they do throughout the day. Example of this would be a patient that had a ACL repair, but also had radiating LE pain below the knee that responded to lumbar end range loading. She left 100% better for 2-3 visits, and was able to STAY better for several hours. This is my hallmark of a Rapid Responder. However, she kept coming back saying she was "no better." Eventually her husband told me she sits in long sit for several hours a day crocheting. A simple change positions every 20 min, and a standing table her husband built for her and she was able to stay 100% better. Lastly, if you use repeated end range loading strategies (directional preference), is the patient doing the right direction? Are they hitting end range? Are they dosing frequently enough? I think these two things balance each other out and you don't always have to go into the other more difficult educational/behavioral pieces that I'll get into next post. Do you have any examples where the patient was unknowingly negating the treatment effects with a simple habit or activity? Comment below!

My story defies limits. From a paralyzing accident in 2008 to walking again against all odds, I know firsthand the power of resilience. Now, I'm on a mission to guide physicians toward balance and fulfillment, blending my personal journey with professional expertise. Grounded in Authentic Education principles, my approach is genuine and designed to empower. Through my accredited programs I see doctors to rise above burnout and reclaim their passion for medicine. Recognised by medical colleges for continuing CPD points, my program offers a beacon of hope for those seeking lasting change. This isn't just my journey – it's our journey. It's time for us doctors to rise up and embrace our true potential. #BurnoutPrevention #MedicalWellnessCoach #HealthyHealer #PhysicianWellness #SelfCareforDocs #WellnessinMedicine #HealthyMedicine #MedicalBurnoutCoach #PreventingBurnout #PhysicianResilience #HealingHealthcare #HealthyHCP #PhysicianMentalHealth #MindfulMedicine

My first professional job out of uni as I finished my supervision requirements to become a registered psychologist was in child protection. It was 1991, the recession we had to have, and it was a baptism of fire!      My whole career I have been grateful for what I learnt in those four years.      We knew then that prevention was better than a cure.      Benjamin Franklin knew it in 1735 for goodness sake! When he said “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”     Primary Care is THE best bang for our buck.       General Practice has been embedded in our communities for good reason, to make it accessible to all no matter where you live.      GPs are experts, with at least a decade of medical training. Our modern systems are built on political distraction, and they are resulting in resources spread too thin, undermining primary care.     Recently GPs have not been respected or supported as they need to be, to be able to deliver the high levels of care they are capable of to us.  Medicare and other systemic issues are undermining their efforts.     We as community members can do something about it.    Make your frustrations about getting a timely doctor’s appointment really count.      As well as venting to your friends and family, tell your local politician about your frustrations.   Ask them what they are doing about making sure all Australians have access to a GP     Explain to them how you value your GP and what a difference it makes to the quality of your life when you can have an ongoing relationship with your GP and you can get an appointment with them.      Tell them about the times when your GP helped facilitate your learning and access to the medical responses you needed.     Tell them about what happened when you arrived at the ED because you couldn’t access a GP.     Every family has these stories – being nostalgic about the time when we used to be able to see a GP in a few years, will be too late. ☹️ Please take action now to make sure the politicians know just how much you value your GP.     #IlovemyGP #gratitudeforGPs #primarycareisthebestcare  #preventionisbetter #doctors #GPs #healthministers   The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM)

Make sure your student can receive emergency health care when they are away for school!

For first-generation/low-income medical students, financial strain continues to take its toll as we approach the holiday season. The graph below (from Early Alert's Population Wellness Dashboard) shows FGLI students consistently reporting lower financial wellness than non-FGLI students across dozens of US medical schools. Here are some comments we received from them: • "I don't make enough money to eat food on a regular basis after having to leave my job in the dorms" • "Wasn't able to get financial aid to support some of my basic needs" • "I don't have a job, and I will eventually run out of my savings" How are your schools supporting FGLI students? What are some ideas you would like to share with the community to better support them? #MedicalEducation #Wellness #Wellbeing #News #Update #FinancialWellness

Would you invest a decade in education just to scrape by? 😶 I'm sure your immediate answer is no but, that's the reality for many clinic owners. They're taught to rely on one income source that often backfires: insurance🤒 Why it backfires: 1. Insurance reimbursements can be delayed or denied, causing financial instability and unpredictable cash flow. 2. Insurance companies can restrict care, preventing doctors from offering the best treatment and compromising care quality. As a result, physicians overwork themselves and struggle to maintain quality patient care👎 Sure, you're paid well, but at what cost...❓ Are you making the difference you intended❓ Are you enjoying the fruits of your labor❓ If not, it's time consider passive income sources that align with your clinic's goals that will: a. Free up your time b. Improve your finances c. Allow you to better serve your patients. Now, I could be wrong but, isn't that closer to what you had in mind after countless years of education? #HealthCare #Physicians

In the wake of recent celebrations for those who have just matched, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to each of you embarking on this pivotal stage of your medical journey. This time heralds a period full of potential, laying the groundwork for a future rich in professional achievements and personal fulfillment. However, part of building this opulent future is ensuring its resilience against unforeseen challenges. In my role as a fiduciary, where confidentiality and trust are paramount, I've observed the diverse challenges and triumphs of healthcare professionals. An often-overlooked aspect of this journey is the unpredictability of life itself. Despite meticulous planning, health complications, whether from common illnesses or unexpected injuries, can alter one's ability to practice medicine. Did you know that a significant portion of disabilities are caused by illnesses rather than accidents? Conditions such as musculoskeletal issues, cancer, and mental disorders can unexpectedly affect anyone, highlighting that health challenges do not discriminate by occupation or lifestyle. The journey to becoming a doctor involves an immense investment of time and resources. On average, it takes around 12 years of education and training to earn the title of a doctor, not to mention the financial commitment, with average medical school debt exceeding $200,000. This significant dedication to your path underscores the importance of having a safety net in place. As you step into your residency, I encourage you to think about the future beyond the clinical skills and knowledge you will acquire. What steps can you take to protect the career you're so passionately building? Tomorrow, we will explore strategies and consider the experiences of those who navigated unforeseen challenges, prepared by their foresight. Congratulations once more on this significant milestone. Here's to building a resilient, protected future that honors your commitment to medicine. #matchweek #nrmp #residents #physicians #stayopulent #opulentiallc #alexanderandkennedy #FinancialPlanning #insurance #retirementplanning #healthcareprofessionals #ccpa #nma #disability #taxfreeretirement

NEET Leak 2024: A Pyrrhic Victory for Cheaters, a Looming Threat to Our Health The news of the alleged NEET UG 2024 paper leak leaves a bitter taste. While some may see it as a shortcut to success, the true cost falls far heavier on the future of our healthcare system and, ultimately, our lives. Cheaters Win (This Time)- Those who gained access to the leaked paper undoubtedly have an advantage. They may get a higher score and secure a coveted medical seat. But this "victory" is hollow. Their foundation will be built on shaky ground. They'll lack the deep understanding and critical thinking skills honed through genuine study. The Real Losers: Future Patients. Imagine a doctor who breezed through medical school thanks to cheating. Will they be able to make critical diagnoses under pressure? Will they possess the knowledge and confidence to handle complex medical situations? The answer is chilling. Our health, in such scenarios, becomes a gamble. A Threat to Us All- A single doctor with a compromised foundation can impact countless lives. Multiply that by the number of potential cheaters who benefit from the leak, and the threat becomes alarming. The integrity of the entire medical profession is at stake. What Can We Do? We need a strong response. A thorough investigation must weed out those involved in the leak. Stronger security measures are crucial for future exams. But most importantly, we need to foster a culture of academic integrity among students. The Future of Healthcare- The medical field demands lifelong learning and ethical practice. Cheating undermines both. Let's stand together – students, educators, and the public – to ensure that future doctors earn their seats through genuine hard work and dedication. The well-being of our society depends on it. #ProtectOurHealth #SayNoToCheating #NEET2024 #Paperleakscam #FutureinThreat
