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

Super great explanations by Dr. Richardson, but will VSP soon have the options to start covering the follow up visits required of dry eye management rather than just a once a year visit? A bit frustrating to have education on a topic that will leave patients asking more questions without putting the proper insurance structure in place for patients and doctors to work most effectively together to get the best treatment outcomes. It should be made clear in these educational videos that many of the treatments require consistent follow ups, which are not covered or even submitted to VSP, but instead to medical insurance or out of pocket at the patients expense. Just food for thought as the importance of dry eye awareness public campaigns continue.

🌟 Understanding Obesity: A Multifaceted Issue 🌟 Obesity isn't just about willpower – it's a complex interplay of genetics and various factors. Yet, there's a misconception that BMI is solely determined by willpower. Too often, individuals with higher BMIs face challenges and are sidelined in their pursuit of medical care. Imagine being told to shed 150 pounds before getting help for a spine issue – a daunting task that isn't always feasible. But there's hope. We can make a difference by reducing the invasiveness of surgeries, providing much-needed support to those battling obesity and its related health issues. Let's advocate for inclusivity and compassionate care for all. 💪 #EndObesityStigma #CompassionateCare #SupportForAll https://lnkd.in/gHR7VbZG
