In the past few years we have seen a lot of telemedicine and home health care. While it is not new, the rise in popularity makes it seem like it has become a more common practice. The more that we have access to healthcare, the more we are able to control our health, and it is important to get more out of it.
I’ve watched a lot of telemedicine classes on YouTube. They are generally pretty cheap and they usually go well. However, most of them are on the English language. I’m not sure why this is. If your health is not good enough for you to visit a doctor, then you probably should not be on the phone with them.
Well, my husband has a serious issue with his health, since he’s been on a lot of prescription medicine for the last few years. He has a tendency to get so sick that he is sometimes unable to leave the house. It’s really sad.
I have been getting my hands on a copy of Telemedicine Behind NonEnglish Speakers study, and I must say its a great book. However, the reason I love this book is because the author is non-English speaking. Even when he is in the US, he still tries to explain things in English to people, so I feel like I am learning a lot in this book.
Well, it’s not like I’m learning a foreign language. I am learning to be a better listener. I’m learning that sometimes people don’t want to hear what I have to say and just want me to shut up and go away. The most important thing I’ve learned from this book is that there are so many ways to communicate with people in different languages.
I have been reading a lot of books and listening to a lot of lectures about the ways healthcare is done. I have been very much focused on learning how to communicate with people who don’t speak english. But, the thing that has kept me busy most of the time is the fact that I have been studying “the ways I can get people to communicate with me” for a long time.
You know what I hate hearing most? Hearing someone say that a person speaking gibberish or gibberish or… gibberish. A lot of people who dont speak english and who are learning to communicate with me have used the word “dont” or “don’t” or “it’s not that” or “its not that”. And I hate hearing the word “dont”. I hate hearing that. I hate hearing the word “don’t”. I never use that word.
It’s not that we don’t want to hear gibberish. But it is a language we are supposed to learn as we grow as human beings. And we are supposed to be able to communicate with each other when we are supposed to communicate with each other. If we can’t, then we are very much at the mercy of our natural instinctual impulses.
As a health care professional, I have had patients who have had their bodies and their minds altered by something that happened in the middle of a treatment session. Some of these changes were so minor that they could have been expected and even understood. Some others were so severe that I could only assume they had no conscious involvement at all and were instead just an involuntary part of the treatment. Even in such cases, I have observed that the patient was often unable to even understand what had happened.
The biggest problem patients have in understanding things they have no conscious awareness of is that this is a very tricky thing to do. It is generally difficult to ask a patient to repeat something that they have only recently understood. And even when patients are able to do so, they do not always retain this information and it is often difficult to determine if what they have just heard is really what they heard.
