Real care happens the moment we(medical personnel)put down our checklist and let the patient’s everyday story become the only map that matters. What’s one patient moment that quietly changed everything for you? Drop it below #patientcare

Obesity is a complex, chronic condition and addressing it requires listening to the patient, understanding their story, and walking the journey together. Let’s shift the conversation from blame to support. Let’s practice Patient-Centred Care. #WorldObesityDay#patientcare

At PDF Nigeria, we believe healthcare works best when patients and doctors understand each other. We’re not on the patient’s side. We’re not on the doctor’s side. We’re on the human side. Better healthcare outcomes is our goal.

As a patient, have you ever found information online that contradicted what your doctor told you? What did you do next?

LOOKING AT A PATIENT AS A WHOLE. A patient is never just a diagnosis. They are not “the diabetic in bed 4” or “the asthma case in clinic.” They are someone’s mother, brother, daughter, friend.

You understand that illness affects not only the body, but also the mind, emotions. Giving medicine — but also giving hope. Sometimes the most healing words are not prescriptions, but: “I hear you.” “I understand.” “We will walk through this together.”

When patients feel seen, respected, and understood, healing becomes more than a physical process .It becomes a partnership. As healthcare professionals, your knowledge saves lives. But your compassion changes lives. The body may come for treatment, but the person comes for care.

Awesome. This is the spirit! I am really amazed by Dr. @EPotterMD’s work. We need more health professionals to challenge the status quo. She has really taken on the giants. I am rooting for her. Patient centered care includes the billing and cost of care. @pacemafro
If I want healthcare to be different, I have to practice differently. Today at Redbud we did multiple cases in an environment built around patients, not profit margins. We had time. We had focus. We had the right team in the right setting. One patient came to us after receiving a quote of more than $100,000 for her cancer surgery elsewhere. The operating room fees alone were quoted at over $30,000. We performed her surgery today at Redbud, a CMS-certified facility with fellowship-trained surgeons and experienced nurses for a fraction of that cost. Same standard of excellence. Different priorities. Healthcare does not have to be this expensive in America. It’s not easy to do things differently, but it is possible. And we’re proving that one patient at a time.

Feeling rushed,ignored or dismissed can shape a patient’s entire health care experience ,sometimes more than the outcome itself #patientcenteredcare
