February is Heart month and yesterday we had the pleasure of attending the Executive Women’s Alliance meeting where we heard from Lisa Finley with the American Heart Association. It is important to recognize the signs and symptoms of a heart attack and remember that they vary between men and women! 👉 chest discomfort 👉Shortness of breath 👉 Jaw, neck, or upper back pain 👉 Fainting 👉 Nausea or vomiting As with men, women’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women may experience other symptoms that are typically less associated with heart attack, such as shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw pain. Learn the signs of heart attack and, even if you’re not sure it’s a heart attack, have it checked out. Minutes matter. Fast action can save lives – maybe your own. #thewoodlands #thewoodlandstx #grandopening #dpc #medicalmembership #conciergedoctor #directprimarycare #primarycare #shenandoah #doctor #physician #drsteelman #twtx #internalmedicine #boardcertified #topdoc #willsteelman #weightloss #dpcmedicine #doctorlifestyle #woodlands #woodlandstx #aesthetic #texasdoctors #montgomerycounty #moco #ghwcc #woodlandstx #bestofthewoodlands #drsteelman

This is so important: When to act and when to watch.

In the hustle of the ER, patient-centered care remains paramount. This was a trauma case where the patient, post-road traffic accident, presented with a deep laceration over the left supraorbital region. Employing a layered closure technique, my focus was on restoring not just the anatomy but also meeting the patient's needs. Every case reinforces the commitment to delivering the best possible care. #ERdiaries #PatientOutcomes #TraumaCare

Words matter. A lot. It's not always easy to talk about wounds, let alone call them the "right" thing. To one clinician it's a Decubitus Ulcer. To another it's a Pressure Injury. To another it's a Pressure Ulcer. To a patient it's a bedsore. Or a red spot. Or an area that looks bad. Or a thing that won't get better. Or a something concerning, but not sure what. It's also someone's life. Whatever we call it, remembering to meet patients where they are is always the right move. The words matter. The patient matters more. Make sure we get or give the care we need by understanding the patient, not getting hung up on the "right" terms.
