Hospital Job Experience

They diligently studied and worked their way through college, medical school, residency, and fellowship programs. Frequently, I enjoyed their anecdotes about their experiences at the hospital, ranging from their interactions with patients to their diagnoses of rare pathologies. More recently, I had the privilege of shadowing them at the Cultural Cup Clinic, a free clinic for the underserved. There, I witnessed some remarkable interactions between patients and physicians. What most captured my attention was the altruism of the physicians, who would go to extraordinary lengths to provide the best possible care for their patients.

Another reason why physicians are finding it difficult employ the time-honored principles listed within the Hippocratic Oath is due to the increase in the number of patients listed under their care and the short amount of time with which they are able to see their patients (Hippocrates, pg. 1). Physicians, who work at clinics, on average, find themselves in charge of several patients. The number of patients that a physician must care for is generally too many for him to become acquainted with and care for, especially if the patient doesn’t schedule routine visits. As a result, physicians are only able to see patients for about an hour. During the appointments, physicians try their best to answer their patient’s questions. However, patients’ often feel intimidated and

A 21-year-old female was brought in by the paramedics, briefing the team that she was found unconscious on the woman’s restroom floor. Upon arrival, she was confused and frightened as she stared at the uniformed strangers in an unfamiliar environment. As other paramedics were taking her vitals, I softly spoke to her and reassured her that she was in a safe place and she will be taken care of. By accompanying her and sharing each other’s stories, she was able to calm down as well as have her trust instilled in our team. As she went from a defensive to relaxed demeanor, I have realized that these bedside manners are what open a gateway to patient trust. Gaining patients trust was a challenging but crucial skill in order to provide strong patient care. Regardless of what she was doing at the event, our team’s focus was on her health. This mirrors the core mission statement of Rock Med, “setting the standards in non-judgemental medicine”. It is this approach that I want to apply into my career as a physician; taking the initiative by actively engaging with patient in order to bring comfort and trust in their most vulnerable time. I have seen many physicians disregard consoling patients during a time of need. It is not enough to simply treat the patient. A good physician will also bring comfort throughout the healing process, putting aside patient worries. This simple yet

Honorable doctors do their best to uphold the Hippocratic oath by being kind to their patients and doing their best to connect. At Harvard, they are now teaching how to connect and bond with patients through Patient-Doctor classes to create a more effective and comforting hospital experience. I know when I go to the hospital, I enjoy when doctors and nurses talk to me about my life and theirs. That bond that is created helps build a trust that this doctor cares and wants what's best for those that they treat; when things go wrong, it also opens up the ability to comfort one another. Building relationships between doctors and patients change the dynamics so that it ends up being doctor

The doctor-patient relationship always has been and will remain an essential basis of care, in which high quality information is gathered and procedures are made as well as provided. This relationship is a critical foundation to medical ethics that all doctors should attempt to follow and live by. Patients must also have confidence in their physicians to trust the solutions and work around created to counter act certain illnesses and disease. Doctor-patient relationships can directly be observed in both the stories and poems of Dr. William Carlos Williams as well as in the clinical tales of Dr. Oliver Sacks. Both of these doctors have very similar and diverse relationships with multiple patients

In a hospital setting, medical billers perform different functions than medical billers that work in a physician's office. Some of the medical coding is different, also different procedure coding. I want to work in the hospital setting because I believe I can be more help and it can be more challenging for

their illness. It is important that they feel they are not alone while they are in the hospital.

In the scope of being the first contact for a new medical need of the patient, the practice of the family physician that I shadowed was constantly accepting new patients, and would set aside additional time during those initial meetings to allow patients to get acquainted with the physician and practice, and even had time slots set aside specifically for same-day appointments for established patients with acute conditions. I was constantly having to restock the practice’s “New Patient forms” and would help the administrative staff schedule patients that wished to become established or non-established patients wishing for care for acute conditions, following the doctor’s rules of an extra 10 minutes for each new patient.

I feel privileged to be a part of one of the largest hospitals in the United States. My ongoing experience as an observer in Pulmonary and Critical Care Department at Tampa General Hospital has so far been breathtaking. I attend morning rounds with the fellows and consultant, observe various procedures and then take part in an active discussion on the cases. Endobronchial Ultrasound to find the cause of enlarged lymph nodes in the chest was a concept unknown to me until I actually observed the procedure here. Another novel diagnostic procedure I had the chance to observe was the Transbronchial Cryobiopsy. I also visit the clinic with consultant which is very informative. There is a mandatory training course on EPIC Electronic Medical Records

In September 2015, I had an opportunity to join the team of volunteers of the Inspira Medical Center in Woodbury. I joined the Emergency Department. My shifts were once a week for three to six hours. I had a chance to interact with patients, mostly to help ease their anxiety and fear. This experience was valuable because it allowed me not just to observe, but also to look at healthcare from the perspective of a patient. I realized that I did not have to be a licensed practitioner to understand patients’ concerns and fears. I also realized that any effort on my part to help ease such worries would go a long way towards helping the patient feel more secure in themselves and their

Hospice care is the most graceful and peaceful part of a person’s life before passing. The

Developing long-term relationships with patients is what I’m looking forward to as a Family Physician. Through my experiences as a medical student, intern, hospital volunteer, and observer, my most enjoyable moments are those spent listening to the patient. I have learned that communication, empathy and good listening skills, attributes

On April 5th, 2016 the Farrington Health Academy had the opportunity to be given a tour at the John A. Burns School of Medicine, otherwise known as “JABSOM”. What consisted of this field trip were many sessions at different locations such as the Anatomy Lab, PBL classrooms, and the SimTiki Simulation Lab. We were also able to get a tour around the campus and learned many trivial facts about the architecture of the school, such as the traditional and modern designs on the buildings. Though the time was limited, we were able to see many fascinating things.

The perception about certain people many times can be a brutal barrier in communication with someone. Working in a hospital I found out that I tend to be very negative about people who are heavy drug users. In this paper, I would like to share my experience of being negative towards those kind of people and how I changed my perspective about them.
