Medical Clinic Observation
My Scandlon Sports Medicine Clinic observation took place on Tuesday, February 13th, from 1pm to 3pm, and my preceptors were Aaron Hand and Timothy Kulpa. I Observed three different treatments that day in the clinic. They were all interesting, and all very different.
The first treatment I observed was an evaluation on a Track & Field Athlete, he was actually an athletic training student himself. He said he was feeling a sharp pain in his right lower back. He also, explained that he had the pain in his left lower back at first but then the pain traveled to his right side. He did not take any Ibuprofen for the pain at all, and he only felt the pain when trying to fully bend over, for example; to pick something from the floor, or touch his toes.

He had a follow up appointment with in the Athletic Training Clinic, however the athletic training student, and Tim were a little upset with him because he came in not wearing the knee brace that was given to him. The patient said the brace was annoying, and it was hard for him to put the brace on under his jeans. Tim explained to me and the athletic training students that were in the clinic, that the patient’s injury was very serious, and that it was very important that he kept the brace on at all times. The brace was going to help his knee stay in place, so it was not moving around too much, and cause more damage to the patients’ injury. Tim tried to explain this to the patient; however, the patient still told him how uncomfortable the brace was for him. The doctor was in the facility at the time, and took a look at him. They got him a new brace that could go over his jeans, and crutches to go with them. The athletic training student that was in charge of the patient at the time did a good job in explaining to me that they can say and do all they can, but they cannot force him to wear the brace. Which just shows not all patients are going to cooperate with you
Cleveland V. Perry: A Case Study
1223 Words | 5 PagesTo show that a breach of professional duty occurred, there must be the concept of standard of care. Standard of care generally refers to that care which a reasonable, similar professional would have provided to the patient. Morissette writes “to establish breach of a standard of professional care, expert witness testimony becomes essential since a jury of laypersons cannot understand the distinctions of medical care.” (2014, p. 134) An emergency room doctor would be an exceptional witness to show that the inactions of Dr. Perry greatly reduced the chance of his patient surviving. In addition, the Learned Hand Formula should be applied in this case, by checking Michael’s vitals, Dr. Perry would have reduced the risk of harm and possibly death because he would have realized his misdiagnoses and would have given Michael a greater chance of

2124 Words | 9 PagesIt would have been helpful to have his signature on the consent. Physicians can get too relaxed with consents and risks and benefits and documentation in the medical record. It goes by unnoticed until a patient has a complication and the physician is unable to prove what they did. Or maybe sometimes, they really did not get informed consent. The plaintiff would have still have an injuries caused by the procedure, but would likely have been considered an unfortunate bad outcome, but not negligence.

685 Words | 3 PagesThis also could have included shooting pain in both the arms and legs. I had the doctor confirm that he never received a history from the claimant of the discrete incident on 12/15/16. I tried to push the doctor off of his opinion on causal relationship, pointing out that there were two different histories of work related injuries but the doctor was insistent that it really did not matter because he felt this was really due to the claimant’s job. He said there might have been an incident that aggravated symptoms but he felt it was part of the heavy duty work the claimant was doing. The doctor did confirm that the claimant was released to return to work without any restrictions on 06/05/17 as he had an excellent result from his surgery.

Clinical Classroom Observation
196 Words | 1 PagesHello Christine, I do agree with your post that observation is one way to assess a persons’ performances in the clinical settings. However, Oermann, Gaberson, and Shellenber (2015) pointed out that the observation should be more than one encounter to determine the student skills. The nurse educator observing the student over a period can make a judgment based on his or her observation. You are right that a significant limitation to observation may be the instructor biases and preconceived notions.
