📣We've got a new website and expanded call center hours! A transparent and educational healthcare experience where patients are validated at every step is the better way we believe in at PRM. Impacting 15% of women and 10% of men, pelvic pain is a disease process that is often misdiagnosed, undertreated, and ignored. Patients are left silenced. There is a better way to provide the quality of life these patients deserve. With a new website focused on transparency and education in healthcare and pelvic pain never seen, PRM is proud to show patients that the better way is here. At PRM, the mission is simple: the team believes that the millions of women and men who suffer from pelvic pain should have access to care that provides relief. They don’t believe “a glass of wine will fix it” or that “it’s all in your head”. Patients demanded a better way, PRM’s founders demanded a better way, a better way to treat pelvic pain is why PRM exists. “We are proud to provide patients with extended evening and weekend communication center support to allow them to avoid emergency room visits and to see our pelvic pain specialists.”— Gautam Shrikhande 🗞️ Read the full article --> https://bit.ly/473kCg9 💜 Give us a call or request an appointment online for a consult - lets change what going to the doctor is like.

It's crucial to consider medication-related adverse effects. Good job identifying the potential cause of esophageal irritation with Doxycycline and addressing it by advising proper administration with a full glass of water and an upright position. Communication with both the hospital staff and the patient played a key role in resolving the issue. #clinicalpharmacy #medicationsideeffects
Real-life case scenario 🥳🥳: Few weeks ago, a female patient was admitted to the hospital and I started her on oral Doxycycline. Later, they called from the hospital asking me if they should give the patient a second dose of IV Omeprazole as the patient is suffering from burning sensation in her throat that they think is related to GERD. I asked the nurse a single question: when did the symptoms start? And yes! The patient never complained of anything before Doxycycline initiation. When I talked to the patient, she told me that when she takes the capsule she suffers from these symptoms! (Listen to your patients, They’re telling you the diagnosis!) I informed the nurse that the next dose of doxycycline should be given with a full glass of water and have the patient sit up in an upright position for at least 30 minutes thereafter (1-2 hours according to the Canadian labeling). *Doxycycline might cause esophageal irritation, so it should be given as mentioned above to avoid such adverse event. Unfortunately, Many physicians and healthcare providers aren’t aware of such problem.

Ask us how STARS and Field Safe Solutions work together to ensure your employees get home safely!
Critical patients may now receive care quicker than ever before, thanks to the launch of a virtual care trial by STARS in partnership with the Saskatchewan Health Authority. The program allows STARS transport physicians to use a video link to support providers treating critically ill or injured patients. Once a call is underway, a STARS transport physician can offer to launch a video consult with the local physician to "see" the patient and provide more support, diagnosis, and guidance. The transport physician can then send the gathered information to both STARS air medical crews and specialists at the receiving hospital, who can prepare for the best course of treatment.
