    Complex medical conditions, what does that mean exactly? My son is Autistic and now I believe he might be having symptoms of my Rare genetic disorder of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. 😢 Problem is I over extended myself for over 20 years now and completely can't function now. Struggling and afraid

    Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. Complex medical conditions refer to health issues that require specialized, multifaceted, and often long-term care due to their intricate nature. Examples include conditions like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), which can involve various body systems and require coordinated care from multiple healthcare providers. Given your concerns about your son's symptoms, I strongly recommend discussing this with your primary care physician. They can guide you on the next steps and, if necessary, refer you to a specialist, such as a genetics doctor, who can provide more specific insights and potential diagnostic tests for EDS. For more information and support, you may find these resources helpful: - **The Ehlers-Danlos Society:** [Ehlers-Danlos Society](www.ehlers-danlos.com) - **Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center (GARD):** [GARD](rarediseases.info.nih.gov) - **National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD):** [NORD](rarediseases.org) Please note that my advice is based on general information and should not replace professional medical consultation. I wish you and your son the best on this journey, and I hope you find the support and answers you need. 🫶🏼

    What if the problem is the care manager in patient relations?

  • @TheOnAirAdvocate
    @TheOnAirAdvocate2 ай бұрын

    In a hospital setting, the hierarchy above a Patient Relations Manager typically includes positions such as: 1. Director of Patient Experience or Patient Relations: This individual oversees the patient relations department and may manage multiple patient relations managers. 2. Vice President of Patient Experience or Chief Patient Experience Officer: This is a senior leadership position responsible for developing and implementing strategies to enhance patient satisfaction, engagement, and overall experience across the hospital or healthcare system. 3. Chief Operations Officer (COO) or Chief Executive Officer (CEO): These top-level executives have ultimate responsibility for the hospital's overall operations, including patient relations, and they may provide oversight and guidance to the patient relations department indirectly through other senior leaders. If that is not successful, you can reach out to a Hospital Administrator. Hospital administrators play a crucial role in managing the overall operations and strategic direction of a hospital or healthcare facility. Their responsibilities include overseeing financial management, personnel management, facility operations, regulatory compliance, strategic planning, and ensuring high-quality patient care. They often collaborate with medical staff, department heads, and other healthcare professionals to optimize efficiency and effectiveness in delivering healthcare services. You can typically find out who the hospital administrator is by contacting the hospital directly. You can call the main hospital number and ask to speak with someone in administration or inquire at the hospital's front desk. They should be able to provide you with the name and contact information of the hospital administrator or someone who can assist you further. The same goes for Patient Relations. Additionally, you may be able to find their number and information on the hospital website in the directory. Hope this helps!

    Unfortunately, I’m both sides my mom side and my stepdad side you’re not allowed to speak of it go near it or it’s a lawsuit no joke, lawyer in the family will take you out in a heartbeat if you even say their name, it’s very unfortunate but I can speak a whole lot about it without saying their name, and they’re mental health and my mental health, and every other person in my family‘s mental healthit’s easy Peezy to get away with but still such a personal issue. It really is hard to talk about mental health when there’s not a lot of understanding when you grow up with people who have that and don’t even know it.

    Hi Kim, Thank you so much for sharing and being a part of this community. My son’s thyroid nodule has been steadily growing over the last year we are just about to 3.5cm. Judging by the growth we have seen over the last year and a half we would estimate that we will be over or reach 4cm in about another year. As I stated in one of the videos, our doctor has shared that if the placement of the thyroid nodule is not obstructing the airway or area around it you have more flexibility on when you actually move forward with any action. How large is your nodule?

    My daughter was just diagnosed with this syndrome a week ago. My wife and I have been scrambling to learn more. The more we know, the harder it is. But we're so thankful for you and what you have here, and for the foundation. We were able to get into a pediatric cardiologist a couple days after diagnosis and he was amazing, spent an hour with us. Did an EKG and an echocardiogram in room with us and showed us everything about our daughter's heart (she is 20 months). Her mitral valve is prolapsing because of the syndrome, but it's mild for now. He will meet with us annually. Our son had eye surgery a couple years ago and his doctor is also familiar with Marfan's, so we will work with her when we can get in to see her. And we're just taking everything else one step at a time. But it is just a ton to take in. Luckily for us she is an extremely chill toddler. She's almost never upset, has never been a screamer. We think God really blessed us with her because He knew she would have this trial and her not being uptight or whatever... just seems like the blood pressure will be less of an issue. It's still so hard to know our baby girl is going through this (she has two older brothers who adore her, ages 4 and 5). Sorry for getting so personal. Really appreciate your podcast right now (we watched the Teen Perspective one first and will watch your others on Marfan's).

    If diet isn't important or inconsequential to controlling Type One Diabetes, then why is this mother so insistent on protecting her child from eating too many sweets. Her dtr has to have the correct amount of insulin if sweets are given at school. Obviously diet is a factor. Is the medical profession confusing the word "diet" to indicate obesity vs. the word "diet" to indicate "what you eat"; whether it be healthy or not healthy.

    Herbal medicine is 100% guarantee of meningitis cure, the reason why most patient are finding it difficult to cure meningitis is because they believe on medical report, drugs and medical treatment which is not helpful to cure meningitis. Natural Roots & herbs are the best remedies which can easily eradicate meningitis so herbal medicine is the best remedies for it. I was once a patient of meningitis now I give thanks to spiritual doctor. Contact Doctor Oje on KZread channel is there for you..
