It’s sometimes frustrating but worth it! Teaching a heart failure patients how to titrate their own diuretics will *KEEP THEM OUT OF THE HOSPITAL*!! Daily weights accompanied by an understanding of “water weight” and a written instruction of what to do- this is doctoring- this is taking the time to *explain* to a patient why they need to be involved in their own care. But- the theme is important. Teach your patients what their medications are for, why they are important and if and when the dosages can be changed. Give your patients the power of knowledge- and as frustrating as it can be to repeat yourself over and over in some instances- smile and keep explaining because an informed patient is a safe patient! 🤌🏻The Italian is obvious with the hand gestures in this one 😂 #medicalhumor #cardiology #cardiologoist #conciergemedicine #privatepractice #topdoctor #queenofhearts #5stardoctor #physician #doctoring #heartfailure #medications #funnydoctor #medicine #medication #hearthealth #patientsafety
