Hi dr. 
Bell toll. 

2
00:00:03,500 --> 00:00:05,500
Welcome back to the Podiatry 
management minute. 

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000
I want to talk today about 
sending prescriptions prior to 

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,800
doing surgery in the uh, in the 
hospital. 

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,200
So this is something that I 
learned a while back and it 

6
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,300
makes my life a lot easier. 
Because what was the problem 

7
00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:19,900
before is I used to get to the 
hospital? 

8
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:24,500
And I had to have patients, get 
the prescriptions and they had 

9
00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:28,500
to do it prior to going back 
home and sometimes that was kind

10
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:30,500
of a confusing thing for them. 
Okay. 

11
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:33,200
It was it was getting the the 
prescriptions So what I find 

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,000
works a lot better now. 
Is that I have patients, they 

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,100
get the prescription before. 
How do you logistically do that?

14
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:41,200
And also people get concerned 
oh, what happens. 

15
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,000
If they fill it and they use it 
before what happens if you know 

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,100
they're Seekers and I understand
all of these things. 

17
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:50,300
So let me explain my process. 
So I have patients that come in 

18
00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:52,600
for something called a 
pre-surgical discussion where I 

19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,100
go over all the kind of the 
benefits of surgery, the risks, 

20
00:00:56,100 --> 00:00:58,200
everything like that. 
They sign their paperwork. 

21
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:02,300
I'm over my patient presentation
on the pre-surgical. 

22
00:01:02,500 --> 00:01:03,800
Action. 
So, if you want to learn about 

23
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,700
that, you can go to Patient 
presentations.com and you can 

24
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:09,500
kind of look at all those. 
And then what I do after I look 

25
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:12,000
at the prescription monitoring 
report to make sure they're 

26
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:15,000
they're not a Seeker or anything
like that, then I can put it in 

27
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,000
the medical record. 
I have a all my prescriptions so

28
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,800
usually it's Percocet, visceral 
and then Motrin and they pop up 

29
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,200
automatically but I can change 
the date so I can send it to 

30
00:01:25,208 --> 00:01:26,800
their Pharmacy, but I'll change 
it. 

31
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,700
Oh, so I do surgeries on 
Wednesdays when I do them. 

32
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,600
And so I send them on Monday so 
I moved them three days before 

33
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,200
of the surgical day. 8, and they
actually arrived on the Monday. 

34
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,200
So I have the patient go there. 
A couple of days before the 

35
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,200
surgery to get them. 
I don't do it. 

36
00:01:39,300 --> 00:01:41,500
When I'm signing the consent 
paperwork at day, they do it a 

37
00:01:41,508 --> 00:01:43,600
couple days before, so it won't 
be an issue. 

38
00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:45,500
So once again, that's what I 
would do that. 

39
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,500
So thank you for the Podiatry 
management.
