Title: Telemedicine's Role in Improving Healthcare Accessibility

In an era where digital innovations are reshaping every aspect of our lives, healthcare is no exception. Telemedicine, a branch of telehealth, has emerged as a transformative force in the healthcare landscape, offering unprecedented access to medical services regardless of geographical barriers. In this blog post, we'll explore how telemedicine is revolutionizing healthcare accessibility and its impact on patients and healthcare providers alike.

Breaking Down Barriers

One of the most significant advantages of telemedicine is its ability to break down geographical barriers. In remote or underserved areas where access to healthcare facilities is limited, telemedicine bridges the gap between patients and healthcare providers. Through virtual consultations, patients can receive timely medical advice, diagnosis, and even treatment without the need to travel long distances. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with mobility issues, chronic illnesses, or those living in rural areas with limited access to healthcare facilities.

It is with great pleasure that I write this welcome message from UCG. I extend an invitation to all global healthcare leaders, nurses, outstanding scientists, academicians, young researchers, business delegates, and students to join us for the 14th World Healthcare, Hospital Management, Nursing, and Patient Safety Conference, which will take place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on July 25–27, 2024.

Convenience and Flexibility

Telemedicine offers unparalleled convenience and flexibility for both patients and healthcare providers. With virtual appointments, patients no longer need to wait for hours in crowded waiting rooms or take time off work to visit a doctor. Instead, they can schedule appointments at their convenience and receive care from the comfort of their homes. Similarly, healthcare providers can conduct virtual consultations from anywhere, allowing them to reach a broader patient population and optimize their time more efficiently.

Enhanced Continuity of Care

Telemedicine plays a vital role in enhancing continuity of care, especially for patients with chronic conditions or complex medical needs. By enabling regular virtual check-ins and remote monitoring, healthcare providers can closely monitor patients' progress, adjust treatment plans as needed, and intervene promptly in case of emergencies. This proactive approach not only improves patient outcomes but also reduces the risk of hospital readmissions and healthcare costs.

Improving Access to Specialty Care

In many regions, accessing specialized medical care can be challenging due to limited availability of specialists or long wait times for appointments. Telemedicine bridges this gap by connecting patients with specialists from around the world. Through virtual consultations, patients can seek expert medical advice and treatment recommendations without the need for costly and time-consuming travel. This not only improves patients' access to specialized care but also facilitates collaboration among healthcare professionals, leading to better patient outcomes.

Overcoming Healthcare Disparities

Register your slot As a Speaker/Listener/Poster presenter here: Register here: https://nursing.universeconferences.com/registration/ Telemedicine has the potential to address healthcare disparities by providing equitable access to medical services for all populations, regardless of socioeconomic status or geographic location. By leveraging digital technologies, telemedicine ensures that everyone has access to quality healthcare when and where they need it most. This is especially crucial in addressing disparities in rural and underserved communities, where access to healthcare services is often limited.

Looking Ahead

As technology continues to evolve, the future of telemedicine holds even greater promise for improving healthcare accessibility. Advancements in artificial intelligence, remote monitoring devices, and virtual reality are poised to further enhance the capabilities of telemedicine, making healthcare more personalized, efficient, and accessible than ever before.

In conclusion, telemedicine is revolutionizing healthcare accessibility by breaking down geographical barriers, offering convenience and flexibility, enhancing continuity of care, improving access to specialty care, and addressing healthcare disparities. As we embrace the digital age of healthcare, telemedicine stands as a beacon of hope, ensuring that every individual has access to the medical care they deserve, regardless of where they are located.

Telemedicine encompasses various types of services and applications aimed at delivering healthcare remotely. Here are some common types of telemedicine:

Real-Time Telemedicine: This involves live interactions between patients and healthcare providers using video conferencing, phone calls, or secure messaging platforms. Real-time telemedicine allows for immediate diagnosis, treatment, and consultation without the need for in-person visits.

Store-and-Forward Telemedicine: In this type of telemedicine, patient medical data, such as images, videos, or medical records, are collected and transmitted securely to healthcare providers or specialists for review at a later time. This asynchronous communication method allows for diagnostic evaluations, specialist consultations, and treatment planning without the need for simultaneous interaction.

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM): Remote patient monitoring involves the use of digital technologies to collect and transmit patient health data, such as vital signs, biometric measurements, or symptoms, from a distance. Healthcare providers can remotely monitor patients' health status in real-time and intervene as necessary, especially for chronic conditions or post-operative care.

Mobile Health (mHealth) Apps: Mobile health apps enable patients to access healthcare services, manage their health data, and communicate with healthcare providers using smartphones or tablets. These apps offer various features, including appointment scheduling, medication reminders, symptom tracking, and teleconsultations, making healthcare more accessible and convenient.

Irondad fic ideas #117

One day, May receives a threatening letter at work. It says, "Do you know who your nephew is?" and contains, crushed into the page, a dead spider.

Horrified, May calls Tony Stark. Plans are set in place immediately to move the Parkers into Stark Tower for protection while Tony tracks down the people who sent the threat.

Peter is at school during the chaos of getting May to the tower. He only learns what's happened when he's called out of class. When he gets to the office, it's Tony waiting there (with the very stunned school secretary) to pick him up. He has his nanotech housing unit on.

Tony explains once they're in the car. Peter freaks out until Tony promises that May is already safely at the tower with Happy and Pepper. Only then does Peter notice that Tony's hands are shaking too.

All of this was not what the villains wanted. Their plan had been to scare May into abandoning Peter. They didn't know that she already knew who he was, and they definitely didn't know that the Parkers were close to Tony Stark.

An abandoned and homeless Peter would have been much easier to kidnap. Now, they will have to step up their game.

A Gothic Tale of Two Weird Old Men: Dracula, Van Helsing, Ignorance and Obedience

So, we’ve gotten to the garlic flowers. And the first point in the novel where, on my first read, I felt a tiny prickle of recognition and unease. This section in particular made a little exclamation point pop up over my head:

"Oh, Professor, I believe you are only putting up a joke on me. Why, these flowers are only common garlic."

To my surprise, Van Helsing rose up and said with all his sternness, his iron jaw set and his bushy eyebrows meeting:—

"No trifling with me! I never jest! There is grim purpose in all I do; and I warn you that you do not thwart me. Take care, for the sake of others if not for your own." Then seeing poor Lucy scared, as she might well be, he went on more gently: "Oh, little miss, my dear, do not fear me. I only do for your good; but there is much virtue to you in those so common flowers. See, I place them myself in your room. I make myself the wreath that you are to wear. But hush! no telling to others that make so inquisitive questions. We must obey, and silence is a part of obedience; and obedience is to bring you strong and well into loving arms that wait for you.”

Now, full stop, Abraham Van Helsing means well. He’s a heroic old dude driven by goodwill—and, we can assume later, perhaps a bit of personal history with this particular malady. We’re going to see in later chapters that he is absolutely down to fight for far more than just Lucy and his protégé’s sake. Better still, he provides a great foil against the common themes that so far endanger characters who get in Dracula’s path. Skeptics are endangered because they only acknowledge the truth of the bogeyman in their midst when it’s too late while the frightened believers are too paralyzed by the threat to make a move. Van Helsing combines the Scientific with the Mystic, acknowledges both as equally important, and uses them to his advantage.

Knowledge is power and all that. Dracula really does get away with most of the shit he does half the time because his victims don’t know what they’re dealing with. (The other half of the time, it’s because he’s just bulldozing through victims on a spree, RIP Demeter crew.)

The Count is usually the one holding all the cards and using his advantages to cause harm. Van Helsing brings his own intel and uses it to help to the best of his ability.

That being said?

(Mild spoilers below)

The first time I read through Dracula—and, honestly, every time since—I can’t help picking up on how precariously close Van Helsing treads to the Count’s M.O. of manipulation and Dramatic Withholding of Information with his young charges. Granted, I can let some of it slide via the, ‘But no one would believe me if I said it was a vampire! I had to keep quiet about my reasons!’ excuse.*

*(But, sir, could you not conjure up some convincing medical-sounding bullshit?? It’s the 1890s, they would have bought anything. In fact, why was it only down to you and Jack keeping watch, Dr. Drama? There’s a whole house staff here. Yes, fine, there’s Mom with her weakheartitis, but as long as you spin it as some minor irritation that needs checking in on for updates, it should be fine. And why does Lucy have to keep quiet about the flowers? Why can’t she say it’s for her sleep? Or her health? Or a good luck charm from the doctor, it would be Terribly Rude to Be Rid of Them (read: Against every Victorian bone in hers and Mama Westenra’s body to chuck them). Anyway.)

Without giving too much away, I feel Stoker kind of tips Van Helsing’s charisma points a little too far over the edge in future scenes. Mixed up in a shitton of future The Power of Christ Compels You! overtones, there is a lot of frankly bonkers acting from the rest of the cast when it comes to interactions with/gratitude to Van Helsing for [REDACTED] reasons.

As in, characters are going to start kissing the ground this old man walks on. (metaphoric)

And kissing his hands. (Literal. Yes, Godfather style.)

Dracula was lucky to get flipped off by his Brides. Van Helsing will have these youths rally around him and Every Syllable He Breathes as if it were actual factual gospel (which some is, naturally). With a notable exception in a very livid Jonathan Harker when we get to [REDACTED]. Shout out once more to Bram Flakes for accidentally making this solicitor man Spicy+ after certain events.

Most of me wants to believe Van Helsing’s effect on the others is just Bramarama Stoker pouring all his personal fantasies of being the Lauded and Heroic Professor Doctorman (who happens to share his name, no big deal, ha ha) into this character while the others sing his praises.

But the lit critic in me sees an uncomfortable amount of parallels between Dracula’s casual arcane actions, gaslighting and coercing with Jonathan and Van Helsing’s likewise casual mysterious measures, corralling, directing, and borderline mesmerizing the rest of the cast to follow his lead exclusively, with or without offering the full details of the situation, as we see with Lucy. He’s a good man and an interesting character, but there are Some Scenes that make me wonder if he isn’t using some kind of lowkey hypnotism to make things run a little smoother in the vampire hunter brigade.

#I know I know he was genuine about trying to help #but like...#...the wording and the way he backpedals kind of Does Not sit well with me; even knowing he's a good guy #if we transplanted the dialogue to the start of the novel and it was Dracula trying to get Jonathan to do something For His Own Good #like say: writing a bunch of false letters ~for convenience/safety's sake~#it'd be a little more gut-churning #plus there's the framework of Lucy trying to be a Good Friend/Patient/Obedient Victorian Girl being overseen by two male doctors #(who are good guys! who are taking her seriously! but stilll...)#and she's being told to Do This Thing for Reasons; Reasons Van Helsing does not explain (or even give a plausible lie for)#followed by telling her not to talk about it??#how would you react if your doctor gave you some mystery medicine/folk remedy #didn't tell you what it was really for (after you called bullshit about the first reason he made up for it (because you're not an idiot))#and then ordered you to use it and Not Tell Anyone About Why You Have It #fun and kooky doctor or not I'd be a little fucking worried #anyway #ramble #abraham van helsing #lucy westenra #dracula #dracula daily

Oh y'all, no, I've said it before and I will say it again, I'm not here to excuse or be less critical of medical professionals in general. I'm not here to be nice to the profession as a whole, or not talk shit about it. I don't have to be nice or rein in my anger.

In person, I can hold all that in me AND be deeply respectful even when I disagree, and treat all new staff with kindness and politeness. Not only do I genuinely respect the knowledge that they possess that will help me become well, they truly haven't done anything wrong yet. They're people. And when they do something awful, being shitty in the moment isn't something you can fix a problem with or use to hold someone responsible right then. It usually makes things much, much worse. I've lost my temper three times ever with medical professionals and their staff, and those were instances where I was being abused and neglected, being maliciously lied to in a way that jeopardized my life, or when I was threatened with violence with no provocation. Read that again.

So I'm here for respecting medical professionals and clinic staff. I'm not here to be chill about the profession, the harm it does me, or the harm it does to others. I don't have to like them. Actually, as a whole, I hate and mistrust them. And that is founded in experience. Mine and others'.

I'm working on it, some, in therapy. On the very worst of the rage. But it's slow. And I'm doing it for myself, to make things easier for myself, not because I am at all concerned about being nice to a group that has caused me a truly breathtaking amount of pain. I don't have to forgive, or trust. I do have to be respectful and fair to the extent that they do the same. But the profession has repeatedly proven it has no right to forgiveness or trust, and never will.

#like why defend or excuse a profession that is more dangerous to me than the illnesses I need it to treat?#i want better for medpros #better conditions #better pay #safety #supportive care of their own #but it's patients who bear the brunt and medpros who have the power to bring their own to heel #don't take the job if you don't want to be responsible for undoing the trauma it has done to your patients #that's all there is to it

Autism and ADHD headcanons are amazing and healing (I have a ton, of course) but some of y'all are not ready for the neurodivergency headcanons that include BPD and other demonized disorders y'all have not learned to be sensitive and normal about.

#anyway he deserves love and kindness and safety like hes never known #he deserves a patient and calm space to work through his lifetime trauma and abandonment issues #he deserves kind arms that are waiting for him when his trust finally outweighs his fear #he deserves someone worthy of the deep and passionate love he gives #he deserves someone validates him instead of isolating and dismissing him #apparently this NOT what comes to mind when I mention [character] having BPD and I learned that that hard way today 💀#yikes #jun rambles #tw ableism

Unless you have been the sole nurse on a unit (whilst your one colleague is on break) finding a patient with no heart beat, call the crash team and initiate a CPR/resus attempt alone: you do not get to say the NHS has enough nurses.

At the moment, this is a scenario most NHS nurses worry about whilst going to work every day.

For each extra patient a nurse has outside the safe ratio of care, mortality for those patients raises 7%.

Steve Barclay, the Health Secretary’s, solution is that nurses should work harder. We’re already doing the work of 4 nurses, 2 assistants, the cleaner and cook. We are already exhausted.

Patients do not deserve to be treated by exhausted nurses.

Nurses deserve to be able to treat their patients whilst not compromising on self care.

Gave the boy some comforts for all that hurt

Val’dran doesn’t typically lose awareness of his surroundings when he’s panicking. If anything, he focuses too much on all of it, desperately trying to find somewhere safe, somewhere hidden, and dark, and quiet where he can panic without being found. But he does get something like tunnel vision, he knows that. Focuses so much on one aspect of safety that he may ignore others.

Still, he’s… surprised when he finally calms this time. He’s… warm. Comfortable. He’s wrapped in a blanket, which his exhausted mind can’t really recall having happened at all, and…

And there’s Halsin. He’s the source of warmth, sitting close enough that Val’dran feels his heat through the blanket, but attention on whittling on a piece of wood.

…He was nowhere near Halsin. When did he…?

“This might just turn into another duck,” Halsin says thoughtfully.

Val’dran blinks slowly, not quite following. Duck? Oh, yes, Halsin’s wooden figures, the whittling, that makes sense. He’s not entirely sure what that has to do with anything, but he has to admit Halsin’s calm voice is pleasant to hear regardless.

“You like cats, don’t you?” the druid continues. “Maybe I’ll try to whittle one of those next.”

“…I’d like that,” Val’dran mumbles.

Halsin turns to look at him, gaze soft and warm. “I’ll see what I can do,” he nods. “How are you feeling?”

Val’dran twitches an ear and averts his own gaze, cheeks heating faintly. How long did he get lost in his own head, to not even have noticed Halsin? To not have noticed being wrapped up in a blanket?

“…Exhausted,” he admits. “When… what…?”

He can’t seem to figure out what he should be asking, and grimaces at his own lack of eloquence. He hates how out of it he gets. Hates how panicking drains everything, leaving him a hollowed-out husk of a drow. It gets better with rest, of course it does, but the way that horrible fatigue sinks into his bones and fills his head with fog is… unpleasant.

“You showed up some ten minutes ago,” Halsin offers. “I hope you don’t mind I took the liberty of wrapping you in a blanket – you were terribly cold.”

Val’dran shakes his head. He doesn’t mind. But what Halsin says—

…Val’dran approached him?

It’s neither dark nor hidden. But… but he must’ve felt there would be safety to be found with Halsin. Quiet, yes. Warmth…

He sought Halsin out because he thought him… safe?

The realisation stuns him for a moment. Places are safe. Hidden nooks where he can’t be found. Not people. People are dangerous, they might at best mock you for weakness, at worst exploit it. But… no, Halsin wouldn’t do that, would he? He’s… safe.

…Val’dran doesn’t know what he’s supposed to think about that.

“You needn’t talk about what set off the panic,” Halsin says. “But would you like a hug?”

Well. That must be exactly why he thinks Halsin safe, mustn’t it? He doesn’t demand. Never demands anything from Val’dran, only offers, asks, gives.

…But Val’dran still feels somewhat shaky, despite the blanket. A warm embrace… wouldn’t be amiss.

“Yea. Please,” he murmurs. Sits himself up a bit.

The hug Halsin gives is slow and gentle and wonderfully warm. Val’dran swallows thickly and hides his face in Halsin’s shirt. It smells of earth and greens and Halsin. Safe. He’s safe.

#Val'dran #Halsin is big patient teddybear which is very useful for panicking smol drow ok #finding safety in another person how un-drow a thing...#writings

I think it’s very interesting how Renfield/mental health in general are treated. Today we have “he is usually such a well-behaved man, and except his violent fits” which I don’t think is an attitude you’d really see toward Renfield’s particular behavior today. There’s a definite element of infantilization (see: the way they talk about the visitor not taking offense because it’s a madhouse, lots of general little quirks in phrasing) but I think that someone in a psychiatric institution today who attacks an administrator with a knife and draws blood doesn’t get nearly as much understanding, no matter how little they’re in control of their actions. I think today that’d get you a longterm label of being trouble, definitely not someone staff referred to as well-behaved no matter how isolated the incident

#ink post #dracula #dracula daily #meta #this is hopefully a cogent thought lol. just like. i feel like today one (1) violent outburst gets someone some rlly hardcore labelling #thats rlly hard to shake. and i think it contributes largely to the ways that the way we treat mentally ill ppl HAVENT improved since drac #like if u hear about someone in a psych facility being violent i pretty much always hear it nowadays in terms of someone being #too dangerous even if theyre released and managing their condition and like being spoken of like an inhuman monster #or used to talk about like autistic ppl in rlly dehumanizing ways and justify rough physical treatment for 'staff safety'#like theres a definite point at which some mental health pros view a high needs autistic person as dangerous bc they knew another patient #who got physical. even if this specific patient never has. thats the language you ALWAYS see when theres a story abt abuse

whenever I have a crush (or just in general), I love to imagine what kind of driver they are…idk why, I feel like a it’s an underrated personality trait that rlly says a lot about a person … are they patient? Are they a slow driver? do they text and drive? (red flag 2 me) do they listen to podcasts or do they prefer music? Are they an album kind of person or do they like playlists, or maybe a mix of both? are they cautious? also…kind of obsessed with imagining myself in such an intimate space with someone I like, the car is a magical little space sometimes

#admittedly I’m not a very patient driver u—u but I try to be very considerate despite that!#just can’t stand very slow or very fast drivers lmao I think they’re both safety hazards on the road
