How many times have you been rushed through a doctor’s appointment, only to realize afterward that you still have questions or concerns? Then, when you try to reach your doctor, you’re left leaving a message with a nurse or call center, waiting days or even weeks for a response? ❓ Appointments with your doctor that aren’t rushed and direct access to your primary care doctor shouldn’t be the exception—they should be the gold standard! ⭐ At Empower Wellness Direct Primary Care, we do things differently. When you become one of my patients, you get direct access to me, Dr. Stehling, via calls, texts, or email.📲I also offer same and next day appointments with little to no wait time when you arrive to be seen. ⏰ This saves you time and money, so you don’t have to rush to urgent care. Plus, it gives you and your family peace of mind knowing your primary care doctor is readily listening to you when you visit but is also just a message away. 📲 Click the link below👇 and schedule a free meet and greet to learn more about my practice! 🩺💙 https://bit.ly/3AeMsva  #directprimarycare #ukiahca #PatientCenteredCare

The Power of Compassion in Patient Care 💖 When we dedicate ourselves to the caretaking of patients, it is not just about providing medical assistance; it's about offering compassion, respect, and humanity. The care we provide can significantly strengthen a patient's overall morale and potentially expedite their recovery. Here’s how: Emotional Support: A kind word or a simple smile can make a world of difference. Patients often feel vulnerable, and our compassion helps them feel seen and valued. 😊 Respect and Dignity: Treating patients with respect and maintaining their dignity is crucial. It boosts their self-esteem and fosters a positive mindset. 🌟 Listening and Understanding: Taking the time to listen and understand their concerns shows that we genuinely care. This can alleviate anxiety and build trust. 👂❤️ Encouragement: Encouraging words can inspire hope and determination. Celebrating small victories with them can make their journey feel less daunting. 🎉 Personal Connection: Building a personal connection with patients can transform their experience. Knowing they are not alone can be incredibly reassuring. 👥 Incorporating compassion and respect into our daily practice not only enhances the patient’s experience but also contributes to a supportive and healing environment. Every act of kindness, every gesture of respect, helps build a stronger, more positive atmosphere that can lead to quicker recoveries. Let’s continue to champion compassion and respect in our care, making a lasting impact on the lives we touch. 🌍💕 #HealthcareHeroes #PatientCare #CompassionInCare #RespectAndDignity #EmotionalSupport #PositiveRecovery #HealthcareCommunity #CareWithCompassion #NursingCare #HealingTogether

In optimizing care, #medical professionals must remember their patients' #humanity. The article When One Day Becomes Today, by Pettus JA is a personal account highlighting how impersonal medical interactions can add #stress. Yet, the #empathy from a #nurse lifted him from despair, underscoring that #patient care begins with genuine human connection. In #hospital settings, the environment can be overwhelming, triggering #panic attacks no matter who you are. Providing validation, empathy, and #unbiased feedback offers immense comfort. Even amidst #chaos, the essence of patient care is compassion and understanding. Planning for end-of-life care is vital, allowing for meaningful conversations and #acceptance—a gift not afforded by sudden #death. #Read the full #article, (https://lnkd.in/g-2QavYN).

As a doctor, I hesitate to send my patients to A&E. Mainly because we are aware that the waiting times are insane. Patients have told me that they would rather take their chances at home while they are sick, rather than wait in the A&E. I also have had patients walk out of A&E after waiting 6 hours despite being signposted there to be assessed for potential complications. And can you really blame them? _________________________ This photo was shared by an A&E nurse on the waiting times of her department. 20. Solid. Hours. 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐢𝐧. At that point, any reasonable person will have to question the sanity of the situation. Imagine walking in with severe pain or an open wound and you see this notice. Imagine how hard your heart will sink. _________________________ We are running out of goodwill from our patients. Things will only get worse if there is no radical reform or innovation. (And as Dr Linda Mizun pointed out, more funding for a robust primary care system.) We are entering full winter pressure for 2025. Now is not the time for inaction. #NHS #Innovation #AccidentAndEmergency

November is Long-Term Care Awareness Month! Long-term care isn’t just nursing homes. It’s the support services people may need as they age, such as help with daily activities, medical care, and personal support. This month, we’re diving into why it’s crucial to plan. #LTCInsurance #LongTermCareAwareness #NovemberAwareness #PlanForTomorrow #LongTermCarePlanning

Question: is a 20-hour wait for urgent care the result of a socialized medicine environment, or are there other factors leading to this horrific wait? This question, and others, is why I work so hard to build an interactive online conference that’s healthcare-focused; because I’d love for experts to dissect the pros and cons of different healthcare models for healthcare delivery. And speak about the insurance issue I raised in the previous post that went viral. These are conversations we need to have, and I feel qualified to build the event that hosts them, through SoMeDocs(Doctors on Social Media). Find it in our conferences: https://lnkd.in/eNEjYPZ6
