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.

Respiratory therapist Robertino, who takes care of COVID-19 patients at the Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego, came up with a genius idea of reassuring his patients with his smile all the while staying safe behind a mask.
James Oudin's curator insight, April 26, 2020 9:57 AM
I think this is a great idea. I have to wear PPE very similar to this when responding to 911 calls. It is a very troubling site for patients. By doing this, it humanizes us a bit to try and make things not seem as scary.
