Umc Mercy Case Study

This is regarding an incident at Mercy Hospital of Buffalo with a Dr. Darren Huffman, on May 11th, 2018 at approximately 4pm-6pm. I went through the double doors and entered the first room in the E.R to the right. I believe it is known as the triage room. I came to Mercy Hospital because of a hand injury I received at work. I brought a piece of paper from workers compensation with me because of the injury. I just switched insurance providers and never picked a primary care physician. My hand was and still is swollen since the injury happened on 12/24/2017, and figured going to the nearest hospital would be the quickest way to get it checked out before I go to a specialist on the 17th of May.

It should be noted we don't offer an in-house detox program. However, we can offer a referral to a reputable detox facility in the local community. Following detox and the overcoming of opioid withdrawal symptoms, the focus shifts to counseling (family included) and goal setting. The first phase of treatment focuses on therapy. Once the proximate cause of the addiction is isolated, we shift towards phase II of treatment. Here, we work with our patents to provide them with coping skills they will need to avoid using opioids in the future.
