I saw this interesting article about conversations on scrubs, wearing them outside the hospital and what they signify... and I looked at my line of work and thought about how I prefer them for comfort and security. What are your thoughts? doctorsonsocialmedia.com/wearing-scru...

The Debate Over Wearing Scrubs Outside Work Isn't Really About Scrubs | SoMeDocs: Doctors on Social Media

What do scrubs actually symbolize once a physician leaves the hospital? A new discussion-provoking article from SoMeDocs.

T3. I think it also means that for the person presenting, there must be respect for the number of hours of work and effort behind the presentation. Some higher ups are always looking for mistakes that they can focus on rather than the “meat” or outcome of the case.#healthxph

Let’s go to T3. #healthxph because at our national hospital, we get very complex cases, multidisciplinary conferences are needed often.

T3. It would mean no aggressive insults hurled or refraining from even microexpressions during conferences. Every person is entitled to share what they learned, no matter how obscure the fact, or how little their experience is. That still counts. We don’t need “wow” all the time. #healthxph

#healthxph Psychological safety means there’s no judgment and options are explored so that the best way forward for the patient can be agreed on amicably.

T2. Yes, especially if in differences of opinion in the people who are managing the case. It would do well for the other doctor referred to not to criticize the treatment of the referring doctor WHILE the patient listening. My thing is, if you don’t agree, let the other know DIRECTLY.#healthxph

Let’s go to T2. #healthxph Question for you @akolangto.bsky.social ;)

T1. After a bad experience of being scolded in the past, some people would rather not risk the possible discomfort of public humiliation. For a trainee or a fellow, it might keep you quiet because you don’t want to be seen as someone who talks a lot.#healthxph

Iris Thiele Isip Tan MD, MSc@endocrinewitch.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Let’s start with T1. #healthxph The question says Filipino but any health worker can answer.

T1. Apart from “not wanting to commit a mistake”, sometimes there is an endorsement that you don’t want to “stand out too much” that you’d be having people become “watchful” of your every move. #healthxph

Good evening ma’am iris and #healthxph team! Just joining in, we just had a family dinner after the burial, so I’m late. But joining in to catch up!

Thank you for Joining @bonedocph.bsky.social @helenvmadamba.bsky.social and @jkatzaman.bsky.social tonight! Have a great Saturday, everyone! #healthxph

T3. To be perfectly honest, there is no substitute to getting enough energy and motivation that from a good night's sleep, where you feel safe and free from worries. Stimulants can only do so much for short bursts. Have something that fills you with purpose, to keep motivated.#healthxph

I'd like to begin the third topic for tonight... T3. #healthxph

I might have water, iced or hot tea or hot chocolate -- whichever my wife brings. Remember, there's really no idea stimulation going on because for the most part I'm making articles from what you and others say in "interviews." #HealthXPh

T2. I have a funny story... I had a full day of work, with back to back meetings, I thought I wouldn't have energy for a pickleball training session at the end of the day. Guess what, I attended that...had a lot of fun, AND ended up not sleeping until 4 in the morning! #EnergyBoost #healthxph

Lintaon 16,000 Blossoms share.google/CEKLZ5UGSVkI... I explored the mountains and found a giant Mama Mary Statue at the top of a hill with 16,000 glittering blossoms with an overlooking view of Baybay City. #HealthXPH

T2. In the mornings, personally, I like to water my plants... it always gives me an energy boost to see green things, and to feel the "life" of things growing. I always think the lifting of the bucket (i don't use a hose for plants further down), as a weight training activity. #healthxph

T1. When I was in residency, a co-resident would swear by a vitamin C drink, where you dissolve a tablet in water, and he swore it kept him sharp and focused for the workday! #healthxph

Let's start with T1! :) #healthxph

T1. My favorite is coffee from UCC... even the sachets are very good for me, I love their taste, and they are a quick fix. For coffee shops, I get the Matcha Espresso Fusion from Starbucks... matcha balances out the coffee effect, so you don't have a spike, and correspondingly crash. #healthxph

For everyone who's joining in, I had this inspo for this article from a recent illness, where I was having a hard time keeping my energy levels up... As a regular coffee drinker and a person who loves the outdoors, I got curious of how other people would keep themselves "stimulated"! #healthxph

Hello everyone on tonight's #healthxph tweetchat! Hi, @endocrinewitch.bsky.social @bonedocph.bsky.social @helenvmadamba.bsky.social @docbuboy.bsky.social and other friends online? Let's hang out! Tonight's topic will be on #stimulants!

Hello #healthxph fam and friends! :-) We're going to be talking about #Stimulants tonight! medium.com/@stephmiaco/...

The Stimulant Spectrum: Navigating the Healthcare “Slump”

The “slump” in healthcare — often a cocktail of emotional exhaustion and cognitive fatigue — is more than a lack of willpower; it is a…

T3. Perhaps I am being too simplistic about this, but we can qualitatively measure patient satisfaction via their honest feedback. They become free to express themselves when they feel comfortable with you and have good rapport. This feedback is priceless in terms of what you can do. #healthxph

Helen Madamba@helenvmadamba.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Let's move on to T3. How do we measure patient satisfaction in terms of what truly matters to both patients and health care providers? #HealthXPH Monitoring and evaluation is important as a feedback mechanism to know we're headed the right direction and it gives our patients a voice.

T2. Supposedly, the more we immerse ourselves in EMRs, and scheduling via these apps, the more it should be that things get easier. If patients are able to follow instructions and get smooth processing with their requests, that would be better. #healthxph

Helen Madamba@helenvmadamba.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Sharing here T2 even as we continue sharing T1. T2 is about how technology affects patient satisfaction. T2. What is the Role of Technology in Patient Satisfaction? #HealthXPH

Is everything ok, doc H @helenvmadamba.bsky.social? Do you want me to take over? #healthxph

I remember watching a reel about how nurses are kind, but they're not nice. Patients might be satisfied if they feel their wishes and requests are granted, but for health care providers patient satisfaction should be if their health care needs are met. Sometimes there can be mismatch. #HealthXPH

T1. I have a pretty simple metric … like, in therapy if they feel comfortable in your therapeutic relationship and they keep coming back because they feel that your work together is significant in bringing about positive change. And conversely, as the #HCW, you would want to cont collab. #healthxph

Helen Madamba@helenvmadamba.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Let's get the ball rolling with T1. How do we define patient satisfaction both from the patient side and the healthcare provider side? #healthXPH there might be a disconnect in perspectives so we dont want to make any assumptions.

I think we need to keep refreshing our pages/ posts to keep up… sometimes @bsky.app gets slow to process. #healthxph
