Personal Narrative: Heel Pain Reducing Your Runs

Ability to show empathy and understanding for the patients – By working alongside residents from a variety of backgrounds I was able to see from other’s perspective and showed strong empathy for any personal or cultural concerns associated with their care. This skill will allow me to form better and stronger interpersonal relationships with patients and allied health team during training.

It is the indescribable bond between patients and their health care providers that drives me to pursue a career as primary care physician assistant. While all health care providers should strive to connect with and relate to their patients, it is the privilege of primary care providers to form close bonds with their patients that they may treat for the rest of their lives.

I want to help others. I want to offer the kind of non-judgmental environment that my own therapists have provided me over the years. I love to learn and I love to help others learn. I want to help others be the best they can be and feel good about where they are in the moment. Sometimes that’s all it takes, that person who listens to you, connects to you, and maybe even saves

My experiences in the hospital confirmed that this line of work and this unique interaction between physician and patient is right for me. By observing Dr. Layth, it taught me to give the patients more than just a prescription for their pain; but also your friendship to them, a companion. Discovering that personal interactions with patients are crucial, I found that the primary focus as a caregiver was to provide not only physical, but also mental, spiritual and emotional

CCOM’s strong values and mission of the promotion of the practice of osteopathic medicine would provide me with the knowledge of the science of healthcare. But as we all know, knowledge is only part of what it takes to be a successful physician. I believe I can fill this gap because of my understanding of the art of healthcare. Knowing how to work with colleagues and patients is something that all physicians will be faced with. I believe being able to do this effectively has the ability to set you apart as a physician. Obstacles I've overcome in my life have laced me with compassion and a deep understanding of people and life's ups and downs. Being relatable when working with a diverse population of people is something that comes from experience

I quickly recognized I wanted to practice medicine as part of a team and under supervision. However, I still desired sufficient independence with extensive and in-depth training. With this in mind, I began forming opinions about the various careers in healthcare until I came across the PA profession. By shadowing Araya, a PA, at a clinic, I observed how she provided sensitive and comprehensive care to the patients. She took time to explain to the patients their diagnoses in a warm, personable,and comforting attitude, which were all personality traits that I possess. I was extremely pleased of the lengths the PA went to in order to make the patient feel included and taken care of. Prior to this experience, I knew I wanted to construct strong relationships with my future patients and understand and treat patients as a whole. Not only was this palpable within the care Araya provided to her patients, but I now have the opportunity to build relationships with patients as a healthcare volunteer at Jamati Clinic by listening attentively to their main concerns as well as their outlook on their

The doctors who are involved in restoring that individual back to health have the opportunity to witness a miracle; the miracle of life and healing. Becoming a doctor is more than administering medication and seeing patients. Being a doctor is being a friend, forming a familial bond, and sharing the love that a patient needs. It is being someone who gives the patient hope when they feel that there is none. Being a doctor is witnessing an impossible situation become possible. I have chosen to pursue a career in the medical field because I want to expose others to the compassion that all should feel from a healthcare provider. I believe that if I can provide a sliver of hope to a patient they will have enough faith in their process to keep trying. I want to witness first hand the wonders of nursing a premature baby back to health. I want to show love and compassion to the family who recently lost a loved one. I want to be that light; the light that shines in the midst of a dark place.

Most people think that concussions are the main injury caused in football, but in reality lower limb injuries are. “Ligament sprains are the most common injury reported, accounting for more than 30 percent of all injuries”(NCAA 1). This quote talks about how ligament sprains are actually the most common injury in football. This also shows that concussions are not the main injury in football. Actually concussions are one of the lowest injury percentages than any other body part. The percentage of this injury is actually around 7% which is the second lowest comparing to head, face, and neck injuries which goes to about 4%. It’s pretty fascinating to see that these injuries that are more commonly talked about, are the ones that are the lowest percent. This quote “Surgery resulted from 7.5 percent of injuries”(NCAA 1) also shows that it’s not as dangerous as people think it is. Showing that there is a little amount of people who get taken into surgery for their injuries. This is important to know because this number is statistic that people cannot argue against. People can say whatever they want about how dangerous the sport is, but this number can be shown to them and it will make them take back what they said. The second most caused injury to football players is upper limb injuries. This includes arms, chest, and shoulders. These injuries are also sought after to be one of the more well known

Too develop my understanding of how other professionals work, I will focus on IPL group work and listen to others perspectives. During future clinical placements I will try and spend time with other professions and see how they

I would like to have the opportunity to increase the well-being and independence of patients, so they feel like they can live their life to the fullest. Just because things become difficult doesn’t make them impossible. I want patients to experience the satisfaction when they conquer their own goal; whether that is standing long enough to cook their own meal, or being able to dress themselves without any assistance. I aspire to be part of a career that is genuinely rewarding and humbling.

Notably, my clinical role and function get to know my clients as an individual. Moreover, developing a professional rapport with each person. I want to achieve how the individual brain works. Ultimately, I am hoping for the individual allow me to view the world as they see the world. Overall, I am anticipating for the individual allows to help them to use better judgment, better coping skills and to better their emotions.

It is obvious that all of our instructors have a common goal, which is for all of us to learn as much as we possibly can. I honestly think that by allowing as many opportunities as possible to see and experience as much as possible will help us all learn from our clinical experiences.

Walking and engaging in sports are good forms of exercise.Your body acquires tons of benefits just by strolling or playing outdoor games for five to ten minutes. However, every mile you take and every hop you make puts pressure on your feet. Your feet is considered the strongest part of your body as it carry your weigh. But too much friction irritates the sensitive tissues of your heel and you begin to develop heel pain.

The theory I relate too is that of Ida Orlando. In which I would focus on working with patients individually to figure out how best to serve them and ensure their needs are met. I think paying close attention to a patient’s behavior when interacting with them can tell you a lot about them. For instance, if you are asking them what their pain level is and they say a 10 but you can have clear conversation with them. This would indicate to me that they either handle pain extremely well or they are overstating exactly how much pain they are in. Thus, eluding to the notion that I should continue to monitor their behavior to see exactly what is going on. I also believe working with a patient directly can make them feel more involved and hopefully

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
