Hello friends
My experience in Mayo clinic last month and now in Cleveland clinic taught me a lot regarding health care practice. I did observe certain interesting things when I am in the cathlab. It is the expertise of the staff that work under the cardiologist. The nurses and the technicians are so professional and have so much expertise in managing patient care that the doctor performing the procedure can do it confidently and peacefully. The staff can manage almost all the procedural work and almost any complication. They are so fast in their actions and in monitoring the patient during the procedure. Really they are enjoying their profession. This is quiet contrary to our medical practice in India. I think we need to train our nurses,
other technical and non-technical staff to the required expertise, that they can manage many of the clinical situations. It is our fault to feel that nurses or only to put IV lines and administer the drugs prescribed by the doctor. This is the situation in many nursing home practices. Teaching and training them on par with any world-class professional makes our job easy and less stressful. In India we have good and many world-class doctors but we also need same standards in nurses and other staff.
What do you say.
YOURS LOVINGLY

Every one who starts practicing in INDIA will have the very same opinion about the regular training programs that should be conducted to the medical and para medical staff.In USA, health care is also an Industry,so they will take utmost care to satisfy the consumer in almost every aspect. Thats why, they delineate their duties in order to work more and strain less.It is still a million dollar question in India that even the House surgeons in our state are not trained with BLS and ACLS before the start of their internship,creating a sort of negative energy in the work force. So,to get our ideas flow in to reality, we should start it at places where we are practicing.
