Resource Guide

~ This assignment was very useful. Talking to someone who is a pretty young successful doctor was very motivating and laid a path for me. I learned what I need to do to get into medical school outside of school. After this assignment was completed, I read it and truly thoroughly enjoyed this work.  ~

TERMS 

Balance -

keep or put (something) in a steady position so that it does not fall

With the career that I plan to have in the future, a surgeon, I need to learn how to balance the abundance of work. Being able to even get the chance to work in a hospital requires so many years of schooling, and many college students are unable to stay with it. Staying with that path of education for that long requires lots of focus and being able to manage all your responsibilities. 

Guidance -

advice or information aimed at resolving a problem or difficulty, especially as given by someone in authority

To succeed in being a doctor, you learn from observing those who have come before you. Reading all the information is pertinent, but being able to see techniques and procedures being done is very different. Being able to receive guidance from higher ups is the best form of learning in this field. 

Passion-

strong and barely controllable emotion

Many people go their whole life just going through the motions, but I do not want to wake up every morning not excited about what I am waking up to. I want to love my job and never feel as if I wasted more than two decades of my life in schooling. 

Standards -

a level of quality or attainment

When trying to be a doctor, anything that is not top notch is just not enough. You are responsible for someone's life, no matter how small the task. Every little task needs to be done with full attention and with proper procedure. I do not like to do anything if it isn't right, so I would feel inclined to make sure everything is spot on. 

Will 

a deliberate or fixed desire or intention.

To be able to finish schooling to be a doctor, it takes will. It is easy to see everyone out of school, living their life, while you are still learning. Many people who start off with the goal of becoming a surgeon opt out for jobs that require less in the medical field. Staying on track and focused really is a commitment.

PUBLICATION

Doctor-Patient Communication: A Review of the Literature Organization

This publication is about how doctors can successfully interact with their patients and clearly relay information to them. Being able to keep patients and their family calm in the midst of receiving not so great news is very hard. On top of trying to give patients information about their health, health professionals know medical terms that need to be broken down into layman terms for those who did not attend a decade worth of graduate schooling. It is an easy skill to overlook, but it truly holds a lot of weight on making a good doctor. 

BOOK

The Intern Blues: The Timeless Classic About the Making of a Doctor

This book is about interns’ account of their day of day life over the course of a year. This is a good read for a prospective doctor because it gives the real accounts of how your life might look in a few years. The interns document everything from in detail, so it is easy to imagine yourself in their shoes. The interns are in the place I hope to be soon, so I have much to gain from their accounts. 

ORGANIZATION

American Medical Student Association

This group is committed to representing concerns from physicians in training. I can benefit from this by hearing what my future can hold. 

GROUP

The United Nations is a worldwide organization that is committed to achieve international cooperation. They send out doctors and any type of medical help that is needed in impoverished places. I plan on becoming a doctor because many of my cousins in African suffer from illnesses that can easily be cured with modern medicine, but they do not have access to it. I plan to use my medical degree to go back to Nigeria to work in a hospital. There are many issues with corruption in Nigeria, even when it comes to healthcare, and I would like to try to do something to remedy that. 

INTERVIEW

I interviewed my orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Anthony Festa. I tore my ACL and fractured my patella my senior year of high school and he performed my reconstruction. From the interview, I learned that he is the youngest doctor in his private practice. Not only does he work in his office, but he is also the head team physician for Seton Hall University. He attended undergrad school at Boston College, medical school at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, residency at Tufts University Affiliated Orthopedic Residency, and his fellowship at  San Diego Arthroscopy and Sports Medicine Program. He achieved all this “through persistence”. In college, he dove into research and every program available forward him in his career. Dr. Festa said to “take advantage of the resources around you. That does not only mean your professors, but your classmates and advisors. Reaching out to someone like me, like you did, is a great way to decide if this life is for you”. He spoke on his enjoyment of being able to wake up and do what he loves, and about how he doesn't regret all the work he had to put in to get to where he is. For his age, middle 40”s, he is beyond accomplished and now has three kids. 

I chose him because I was able to see his enthusiasm in what he does every time I visit his office. He is a perfect role model with passion, and hard work. He talks about what his life is like travelling with the college team and managing his time with his children while taking on surgeries, directing a residency program, and teaching techniques to residents and attendings from all over the country. He said  “when you see it as just a job, it is going to feel like work. You need to find a way where what you are doing brings joy to you as much as it does to your patients”. That quote stuck with me because it is too easy to be focused on yourself, and what type of day you are having and let that affect how you converse with others. When your entire career deals with working with others, it is smart to keep that quote in the back of your head. 

GOAL

My goals in life to become a physician. I would more specifically like to become a surgeon. After I spend some time working in a hospital, I would like to spend two years working in Nigeria. From there, I hope to work with an organization like Doctors Without Borders working around the world. I do not remember what exactly drew me to this field. I started my childhood screaming that I wanted to be a pilot engineer, while my sister would be the pilot of the plane. Along the way of growing up, I changed to wanting to be a doctor and never gave that dream up. I do give some credit to my family in Nigeria. I would hear about their issues and see my mother collecting hospital supplies to send back home to them. I just do not think anyone should have to deal with having supplies sent from overseas to have any form of good medical care. I would like to be able to try to make a change.

Ardyss International's Maternity Garments and Nutritional Products For Pregnant Women

There are over four and half million births in the United States each year. And any woman who has gone through the stages of pregnancy and development can attest to the significant changes their bodies make throughout that time. The nine months leading up to the birth of a child is an extremely delicate time emotional, physically, and spiritually and often requires lifestyles changes.

The changes that women undergo include making changes to their diet and the introduction of essential vitamins, minerals, and additional supplements to ensure they receive all the necessary components that help nurture a new life.

In the latest Doctors Showcase call with Drs. Lee Laney (Gastroenterologist), Tonia Farmer (ENT) and Abdul-al (Ob / GYN) they all spoke about the importance of a wrap-around care for pregnancy that can help supplement your doctors’ care and help ensure you have a smooth, healthy pregnancy experience. These leading medical professional are part of the growing Ardyss International business team that utilize the products in their independent practices throughout the country.

As doctors they have all been involved in some capacity with pregnant women and have offered medical advice and assistance throughout pregnancy. They have recently decided to explore the importance of how the Ardyss products both nutritional and garments can benefit pregnant women. Dr. Laney has delivered well over 50 children in his career and although his emphasis is in Gastroenterology he has profound insight into the needs of women including the essential products pregnant women should be including in their daily diets.

There are essential vitamins Laney advocates that all women need pre-pregnancy and throughout that can help make for a much more comfortable maternity experience. He suggestion during pre-pregnancy that women build up on Calcium, Omega-3 fatty acids, folic acid, and water-soluble (Vitamins B and C) and fat-soluble (Vitamins A, D, E, K). These will be helpful to the mother prior pregnancy and the health of the fetus and will help with gastro and intestinal problems.

Those supplements can be addressed in the Ardyss nutritional products line by consuming Ardyss Plus, Coral Calcium, Le Vive, Green 29, and Omega 3, 6, 9 supplements, and the delicious Nutrishake for additional protein support. A recent study by a team from University of South Carolina found the women taking the highest dose of Vitamin D were 50 per cent less likely to suffer from problems including premature labor, pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes and infections, than those on the lowest dose . Dr Carol Wagner, lead author of the study, said: “The spectacular part of the study was it showed women replete in vitamin D had lower rates of preterm labor and preterm birth, and lower rates of infection.”

As a pregnant physician preparing for her third child, Dr. Farmer is aware and attested to the most challenging problem women face during pregnancy-Back Pain. The overall consensus is among medical professionals is to encourage use of a non-restrictive maternity garment which will help alleviate back problems. In addition to the suggestion of getting ample exercise, the benefits of chiropractic care and acupuncture can be used linked to effective treatment for back pain. Because the body is experiencing weight gain and the developing fetus is changing the shape and posture of the body it is vital to have support around the abdominal region and back.

Dr Abdul-al understands the complaints new mothers as a highly respected doctor he often hears the complaints of new mothers and he first line of defense for his patients are the use of Ardyss International’s maternity girdles from the second trimester to birth. These garments are medical grade garments designed by an Orthopedic Doctor Lionel Kelly who designed the full product line of Ardyss garments with the intention of overall body support. These particular garments are of particular benefit to pregnant women because they are designed to help alleviate fluid build-up and provide comfortable and support in this areas where women have new contours and additional weight gain.

The Ardyss maternity garments are just being discovered by medical professionals all over the world because of their benefits to patients. You can engage your own physician to seek out more information about these product especially if you wan to use them throughout your pregnancy. The statistics are staggering for low-birth weight and premature babies born in the United States it can be likened to living in a developing country with little to no medical care throughout pregnancy. Even more surprising is how these issues affect African American women regardless of socio-economic status. These issues can be halted by having access to important information and alternative care products.

The Ardyss Doctors Showcase will continue to host webinars on different topics I would encourage anyone interested in learning more to stay connected via email. This article is here to provide information on Ardyss International products to help improve your quality of life. This information presented here does not diagnose or treat any illness, you should always check with your physician before using any new products.
