Hi, welcome to Panache in practice Mastery down here.
What I want to share today with you is kind of a back story
behind something that that I've kind of put together called
patient presentations. If you've followed some of
these, the podcasts or videos in the past, you may have heard of
this. But I want to tell you a little
bit about my, the backstory. So, basically, when I was
starting out, I was just like everyone.
I finished residency in 2009, when a The private practice, I
finished residency in July, there was a doctor that was
moving to Arizona and I basically picked up his his
patient population and so kind of busy from that from the
get-go. But what I found is certain
diagnoses were kind of complex, like plantar, fasciitis, or
achilles tendonitis. There's a lot of different
treatment options and then something happened.
Basically, what happened is, I there was a kind of a not, not
too good of an outcome for one of the surgeries.
I think that may have happened to some of us Before and and
there was some kind of accusations that I didn't do a
very clear, kind of pre-surgical discussion.
I think many times we're kind of busy, we maybe talk to patients
about surgery and then we just kind of go into doing the
surgery. Everyone signs the paperwork,
but they don't remember. All the doctor didn't go into
detail about that. And when that happened to me in,
this is something that I've learned over the years is
something. Well, if I could do it over
again, what would I have done different?
And this was my real Epiphany where I was like, wow.
If I could have done it again, I would have done a lot better
discussion pre-surgical discussion, and that was
actually my first patient presentation.
I put together a slide deck called a pre-surgical discussion
initially, it was just done in Google, Google Slides.
I put together some slides to put some images over the time.
It's improved over the last number of years that I've been
using it, but as I started to do that, for my pre-surgical
patients, it really, it really went into what we call like
informed, and they were really aware of what was going on.
And I'll show you that the slide deck in a sec, a sec, a second
to some of these slides that I'm using currently and then, as I
started to do it more, I was like, wow, this really makes my
my, my job a lot easier using these slides and so when someone
came in for their pre-surgical discussion, so basically it was
30 days prior to doing surgery when I got the consent.
And then I went over the discussion with them.
And then from there I kind of multiplied like I recorded as a
video and I started to make other other slide decks called
patient. Just made made life a lot a lot
easier. And so, what I'm going to do is
I'm going to show you that slide deck and a second, but I want to
invite everyone. I'm going to put a link
underneath this, either this video, or this audio where you
can join is I'm going to do a webinar, kind of going doing a
deep dive into these patient presentations.
I'd like you to join me. You can get the link underneath
it. And then we can kind of do a
deep dive into, how to do patient presentations, how to
make your own, how to incorporate into practice and
and things like, Like that. So I think you'll enjoy it.
It's been kind of a transformational thing that I
wanted to share with everyone so okay, so here we go.
This is patient present. These are my patient
presentations here. All the different ones that I
use the, what I specifically want to show to you is the one
on surgery that I talked about mmm.
After I leave it up top because I do it so much, right?
Here is surgery new. So you can see I have older
versions and I have newer versions that the newer ones, I
put new ayat, the older ones, I don't put new bike because I'm
always modifying. These are having people this
one, this isn't how it looked when I first started.
Okay? Just so everyone knows.
It looked very kind of rudimentary in the beginning,
but this is the slide deck that I currently use.
And it takes me. I would say about, I don't know,
10 minutes to do with patients. Basically, I go over the
surgical, The main reasons for surgery, non-surgical treatments
Imaging studies, surgical questions that people might have
before the surgery during the surgery.
Anesthesia talking about where I'm going to do the local
surgical dressings, kind of after surgery.
What they need a boot cover. I put this in thing.
In for me, check the prescription drug monitoring
report. That's what I have to do.
Before I met surgery, kind of like that's a checker for me.
Pain medications talking, Out that after surgery, planning
important questions and then the possible complications the
mirror. Main reason I do this is because
of the possible complications and the treatments if they have
any of these. So this is the first slide deck
and I'm going to go into a lot more detail when we when we meet
together about this. But that's what I want to invite
you to. They'll be a little link
underneath here if you wanted to join the.
This webinar on patient presentations to kind of taking
a deep dive into kind of how its transformed practice.
I think it's It just it's been the best thing that's ever
happened. Until I hope you will join.
Hope you find some interest in this and we look forward to
seeing you there. Okay thanks guys.
