Hospitals and Healthcare
There are many challenges facing hospitals and healthcare in the modern world we are living in. I've created this curation collection to save articles that help me understand what modern health in society is.  The articles here are general in nature and placed here to promote discussion. We advise that you talk with your health professional before changing any of your medication or treatment options.  Any of the online courses listed here may (or may not) be open for access or enrolment. Most are free to browse, some may charge a small fee if you wish to receive a certificate or record of learning.   Every effort is made to ensure that these links are up to date and be aware that some of these articles may be behind a 'paywall'. If you can’t get into an article, email me and I may be able to assist.  Views are my own.

The Healing Power of Presence: A simple act of sitting beside a patient.

The Healing Power of Presence: A simple act of sitting beside a patient. | Hospitals and Healthcare | Scoop.it
In a place where time seems to stand still, where life and death dance in a delicate balance, the presence of a physician can make a world of difference for the patient and their caregivers. I believe that medicine has the power to heal not just the body, but also the spirit, and it is during the ward rounds that I have the opportunity to connect with my patients. Beyond the medical jargon and clinical procedures, I have come to understand the tremendous impact a human connection can have on their well-being.
