Reflection On Medical Shadowing

424 Words2 Pages

Over the course of the past few years I had the privilege of shadowing Dr. Ghandi M. Saadeh and Dr. Ravi C. Kahatapitiya at Sentara Leigh Hospital. I was able to spend a substantial amount of time with both and I consider each man a great leader and mentor. The medical shadowing experience changed my views not only as a student, but as a person in general. I was taught the importance of the doctor-patient relationship and how to successful build bonds with people both in the office and outside of it. Both continuously conveyed that a patient should be viewed as a friend and each should receive the same level of respect and treatment no matter what the cause is. I learned to remain calm, stay positive and realize that I can accomplish anything

    Tracy Kidder presents many important themes in this book through his experiences and talks with members of Partners in Health including Dr. Paul Farmer. One of my takeaways was the emphasis on compassion and spending time with patients. In my experiences with the healthcare system in the United States, everything seems very rushed, almost like it is an inconvenience for the doctor to see the patient. However, Paul Farmer went great distances to care for his patients. He took hour-long hikes in Haiti to see patients, there were many nights when he didn’t sleep in order to see patients instead, and he traveled back to Haiti against recommendations because of his injured leg.

  • Professionalism In Health Care Essay

    1123 Words  | 5 Pages

    Introduction Professionalism and ethics have been in play for a much longer time in healthcare than in any other industry. Runciman and Walton (2007) critically state that when patients come into a healthcare institution, they enter a unique social relationship. In essence they feel completely vulnerable and care should be taken to ensure that they are more confident within the relationship. They are expected to share and expose themselves in the most intimate way making this relationship the most vital for their own physical, emotional and social health. The importance of professional ethics in healthcare can be found in the Hippocratic Oath and other oaths administered by various medical schools.
