Medical Interview Essay

I have been seeing Health Point Rehab Physical Therapist, Katrina Volker, on my back. She is treating me for SI joint alignment and the bulging disc that is causing the symptoms we discussed during my exam. I have been seeing her since last week. Yesterday during treatment she highly recommended that I not go back to work until the 9/23. She thinks I am asking for trouble if I return to the type of work I am doing at the plant. I am going to ask her to write me a work release excuse until then, but she recommended that I get one from you. For my disability insurance to pay while I am off I prefer one from my primary doctor too.

I am writing to express my interest in the ‘entry-level associate medical writer position’ that I found advertised on the Wiley Job Network. I also hope to convince you (or whoever makes the hiring decision) that I am the right person for the job because of my rare combination of skills, personality traits, experience, and because I genuinely enjoy writing. I am available to start immediately and have included my CV with this email.

Advancements in technology are causing dynamic changes that further enhance our lifestyle on a daily basis. Did you ever imagine you can answer a complex question only with the power of a handheld device, or what about tracking your every move using only a wristband? Are we capable of streamlining this powerful technology for application into the medical field?

An interviewer who takes notes during a clinical interview will be provided with more accurate records of the interview, presumably, than with process notes (where notes are taken starting right after the client departs from the session), or no notes at all. Being able to write down a phrasing or brought-up conversational topic in the specific language it was used, and in the order it was used regarding other interview notes are distinct advantages to note taking throughout an interview. Assuming an interviewer doesn’t distract his/herself from the client or distract the client while taking notes, I think that note taking is a great practice for supervisor-interviewer enrichment during a review of the interview afterward. This would facilitate a more valid understanding of what went on, and provide the supervisor (if applicable) with a more accurate context to give the interviewer better professionally

Clinical exams are also very useful because they can check for symptoms of depression, delusions, attention deficits, memory skills, and much more. The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a questionnaire given to a suspected AD patient. The MMSE asks questions that measures the cognitive impairment as well as language skills of an individual. It also tests subjects on their memory skills by asking basic questions like the date, where they are, and to recall objects that were just previously shown to them. The Blessed Dementia State Scale is used to measure changes in a person’s habits, personality, and everyday life. The level of depression can be determined with the Hamilton Depression Scale. The Present State Examination is a test that identifies the

I first spoke with him at around 11:29 this morning and received his complaint and his concern which took about 8 minutes on the phone with him. His concern was his X-ray results of chest, and his complaint was the rude call center representative in Internal Medicine. I apologized on behalf of MMC, and informed Mr. Benton that I would take ownership of this situation and walk down to Internal Medicine and personally speak with Brittney Marks, NP about his X-ray. Also, I let him know that I would address his complaint for the call center rep. I informed him that I would give him a call back to follow-up with my findings concerning his X-ray result. I felt that it was urgent enough to stop what I was doing to honor his request.

Thank you very much for the hospitality on my interview day. It was such a great pleasure meeting you!

There are copious questions that circulate through a senior or junior’s mind when preparing to not only apply to colleges, but also looking into graduate programs such as medical school. Among these are questions such as how to pay for college, what majors and minors would benefit a specific career, and what extracurricular programs would help them stand out when applying for graduate programs.

For this week, I was at the hospital with Angie Tuesday and Wednesday; then Thursday I was at Clopton Clinic with Jana. Tuesday was very busy, we had 5 consults that day. 2 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. I got to complete 4 out of the 5 consults on my own. I am beginning to be very comfortable completing consults now that I have been doing them for a few weeks. Prior to each consult, I research what I can about the patient before I meet with them. I find this helpful so I will not have to ask so many questions during our short interview time. After each of the consult meetings, I shortly briefed Angie on the patient’s situation so she could go in and introduce herself to them. After Angie meets with them separately, we debrief about what information we gathered to meet the needs of our patients. Once we discuss everything, I documented into the computer system a journal entry for the consult. This consists of a few short sentences that can benefit other staff members regarding the patient. On Tuesday, I also got to arrange Medicaid transportation for a patient from Missouri. Angie has allowed me to set up as many transportation arrangements as I can throughout the day. On Wednesday, we did not have any consults for the morning or afternoon. Angie and I got to meet with a few follow-up patients coming for their 2 week visit. Most of the patients do not have a need at the point of their follow-up appointment, it is a meeting with the doctor to see how

I have seen what a losing a brother can do to a family. It is even more traumatic when you’re within that family and the brother who you never met could have been saved as it was a treatable infectious disease. Living outside of the capital city if Ethiopia without adequate access to physicians, I understood the reality of necessary access to medical care. This is why I am applying to your internal medicine residency. I want to help those who need it with advanced techniques and a complete understanding of this profession, saving lives which would unnecessarily be lost otherwise.

Ever since I was young I have always known that the medical field was for me. With multiple family members with careers in the medical field, it was destined that I would pursue a career just like them. I would like to start by telling you where my dreams and aspiration came from. My mom. My mother is the most inspirational woman I have ever met.

I hope all is well. Yesterday, October6,2017, when I stepped outside of Hennepin Health’s office suite into the hallway my eyes immediately began tearing. When I returned back to my work space my eyes continuously teared. Since, my former manager resignation, I have been reporting to Marilee Moritz, Customer Service Manager. She witnessed the tearing of my eyes and redness. I asked if I could leave and work from home. She replied, "No" one can work from home, and then I asked her if I work in office suite, 222, since that office suite has been empty, around July 8, 2017. If I could work in an enclosed office space with my air purifier I could remain in the building for 8 hours. Marilee, said no, since leadership team is interviewing for the person I can’t occupy that office space.
