REFERRAL! I have lost count of how many times patients, and sometimes, their relatives, beg not to be referred - they perceive that the ONLY reason for the referral is because the patient's condition has worsened. As much as I hate to admit this perception MAY be true SOMETIMES, it is not ALWAYS the case! Referral is a delicate balance between what a hospital is capable of doing (in terms of workforce, available skills and facilities) and the medical need of each patient. Once there's a disparity... an action must be taken😊! And Yes, in this episode, I had to touch on FIRST AID. Everyone seems to want to talk about first aid when someone presents to the hospital in an emergency situation. WHAT EXACTLY IS THE MEANING OF FIRST AID? What exactly is wrong with referring a patient without giving this FIRST AID? What are the other reasons we refer patients apart from worsening clinical condition? Answers are inside this episode, trust me😊 and you know I look forward to your comments always😁. You can reach out here: d.debunkingdoctor2020@gmail.com... I'll be super glad to hear from you☺️. Have a great week and Plenty love😍 from this side🤗🤩🤗
