  • Broad Clinical Interviews

    [vc_row][vc_column][tm_heading tag=”div” custom_google_font=”” text=”When I evaluate a new patient, I work to compress data collection and screen time on the front end of the visit so I can free up the remainder of the visit for face-to-face discussion and shared decision making. This intentional visit design is necessary because of the realities of modern clinic schedules. And so the questions I ask and their sequence is important to my understanding as well as the experience of the patient.”][tm_spacer size=”lg:50″][vc_column_text]

This is one of them. This question exposes critical data that, in the background, often drives my initial approach to diagnostics and therapy. If you are a health professional try it and you’ll see. Clearly, there are clinical specialty visits that are more transactional where open-ended questions are not as critical. A good example would be consultation with a surgeon for hernia repair where the task at hand is unequivocal.

  • Nature of Caregiving

    [vc_row][vc_column][tm_heading tag=”div” custom_google_font=”” text=”Caregiving takes many forms. Many of us help older, sick, or disabled family members and friends every day. We know we are helping, but we don’t think of ourselves as caregivers. We are glad to do this and feel rewarded by it, but if the demands are heavy, over time we can also become exhausted and stressed. We think we should be able to handle caregiving roles on top of busy work and family schedules and begin to feel guilty and depressed as our stamina wanes.”][tm_spacer size=”lg:50″][vc_column_text]

  • Role of Caregivers

    [vc_row][vc_column][tm_heading tag=”div” custom_google_font=”” text=”Respite care is a type of assistance that allows the family caregiver to take a break from care-giving.
