#20- For Doctors & Medical People to Work On Continuously

February 23, 2018

More here continuing from #19- Medical ASSESSMENT Improvement Ideas Begin With It’s a lack of this self-examination that causes everyone to become more arrogant and less accurate in their decision making.

I mean if you hear a squeak, squeak, squeak, when you put your foot down on the brakes of your car you assume there’s a problem with your brakes. It could be a brake pad, a brake shoe, a lack worn rotor, an unbalanced tire, or something else though. AND the common poor person who has knowledge of car work will take the time and money to fix the problem themselves, but the busy person may hire another to do that work and they may end up paying more because they wait so long to get treatment for their car.

BUT they could also go to a BAD mechanic and they end up paying again and again to get their car treated by THAT mechanic. BUT they could also go to another mechanic and get another assessment, AND because that new mechanic does the work to make the diagnosis the solution may have been as simple having the wrong size brake pads added by the first mechanic. AND that is life and death, but it’s the car, not the body that is lived in every second of the day.

With our doctors their own actions OR lack can cause deathly problems or even problems that kill a person’s soul in their youth or middle age. So here is a beginning checklist of the needs for Doctors & Medical people to work on continuously as found with the lack of care from my own problems, hopefully you also have ideas for solutions to the problems and hopefully we all get doctors that work to do well with listening and learning from the people they are caring for:

Getting more than Basic Details
- Have you the doctor made inaccurate assessments?
- Have you the doctor shared details of definition when you assign titles to things like pain?
Relational Corresponding Pain Charting done correctly
- Have you the doctor heard what the patient is really feeling?
- Have you the doctor taken the time to learn the feelings?
- Making Sure to Know How Pain Variables Can Alter What a Person Says
  - Infections are not the same as a scrape, the pain is different also.
  - Taste pain is a surface and cell reaction that’s different than a burned mouth.
- Relational Corresponding Pain Charting Work includes sharing the body pictures that your patients can color in demonstrating their feelings with different body areas.
  - The previous posts under Rhapsodie’s Visual PAIN Diary beginning with post #11- 2013 has more images showing how using basic body shapes can detail information better for doctors.
  - If you add the details of the color shade variations for pain persistence they they can add to the charts for all of your patients.
- AND with taking the time to enlarge the shapes using the basic outline at first, even asking the patient to point to the pain on their body you can pull out blank body part pictures for them to color onto.
  - Actually the nurse initially when the patient comes in to be weighed can do that.
  - OR the doctor could send the patient home with the blanks or links to the doctor’s website with blanks that they can color and date for different days or weeks or months of pain.

Defining your doctoral Care information more accurately when talking with patients.
- For example: What is your, doctoral, definition of Chronic Pain?
  - Rhapsodie’s feeling about the diagnosis Chronic Pain is that the pain is constant &/OR consistently the same &/OR in the exact same location.
- Sharing more details of estimates & information with patients, so they have a more complete picture of your assessment and prescriptions for care.
Getting Better Medical Technical Assessments
- Have you the doctor viewed the resulting images in accord with the tests you have asked for OR
  - do you persist in believing an overworked technician will be able to open every single image and do an accurate diagnosis when it’s easier for them to read previous reports & make ASSinine declarations?
- Are you allowing a Medical Technician to Assess the Body, when they should have assembled the pictures & shared them with you, so you can make the assessment?
  - X-rays; MRIs; CT Scans, and Ultrasounds can all be shared with office emails, USB’s, SD’s, &/or Visual view clips attached to documents AND they can show the discrepancies by being prepared with use Ctrl + a certain amount of times OR with image clips showing the specs?
- The problem with gathering accurate details corresponds with record keeping and relating with the information accurately.
  - This means more work requiring time by technicians AND
    - Medical Personnel & Doctor’s to record information including the associable pain measures onto a relatable scale for more accurate assessments.
      - Medical people and Doctors then have to read the reports of pain information for each individual they are treating. Including:
        
        Physical therapist reports;
        
        Nurse pain reports;
        
        Lab pain reports and
      - Any other personal pain report and match assessments for individuals.

AND this is only the actions for medical people to practice AND there are benefits including limiting legal hassles as well as improving patient/ customer care…
