OUR FIVE “LOVE LANGUAGES” OF EMERGENCY MEDICINE

  • Communicate with the patient, throughout the time in EC. 
  • Never allow more than 30mins to pass between patient interactions. 
  • Comfort, reassure the patient (and family) 
  • Explain tests, procedures, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up plan clearly. 

WORDS OF AFFIRMATION

  • Even though we spend limited times with patients, during that time, we need to give our undivided, focussed attention. 
  • The patient should experience, that for that brief period, that they are the most important person in the room. 
  • Even when you have multiple patients, go back to your patient frequently, at least every 30mins, if possible, re-assess and communicate your intentions. 
  • Your time should also include important family members involved in the care of the patient. 

QUALITY TIME

  • Although we often only do a focussed examination in an emergency, ALWAYS ensure that the examination is done thoroughly.  
  • This is important even if you can spot the diagnosis a mile away. 
  • Make sure your hands are clean, warm and dry. 
  • We have adopted the habit to clean hands with alcohol-based hand sanitizer, directly before and after examination. 
    • (“The 5 moments of hand hygiene”)

PHYSICAL TOUCH

  • Healthcare, by its nature is much more than a career, it’s an act of service to the patient, patient’s family and community. 
  • We need to ensure that the patient feels that we sincerely care about them, and the that the consultation is not only a monetary transaction. 
  • The service we offer should be all-inclusive, arranging tests, referrals and follow-ups as required. 
  • ALWAYS emphasise that patient should return without delay if not improving or worse.

ACTS OF SERVICE

  • We give the patient the most important gift, the gift of healing. 
  • Not only are we striving to save lives, but also improve quality of life and reduce pain and suffering. 
  • Us as physicians are not only prescribing treatment, we ARE the treatment. 
  • We share our knowledge with the patient. Inform and council where required.
