WHAT I WOULD LIKE

TO LEARN ABOUT THIS
TOPIC.

Dr. Mitch Kaminski, a family

doctor writing for the
Washington Post, learned that
the treatment or answers an
individual seeks can often be
revealed with a simple
question:

I think that this topic treat

about a Doctor who show the
form more appropriate than
Traditional Doctors should do
when they are going to treat a
patient. A good Doctor is a
person who become in a
friend to patient, they should
listen more and maybe know
the opinion of them.

I would like to know a little

more about Dr. Kaminskis
story illustrates that focusing
on patients goals is key to
delivering patient-centered
care.
I want to understand the
importance of appreciating
patients goals. I think that's
why in addition to designing
plans of care centered on our
patients specific desires for
recovery, they implement fall
prevention programs and
conduct home visits to
eliminate hazards for falls.
Maybe they also offer printed
collaterals that accompany
our specialty programs. With
materials enable our patients
to understand their diagnoses,
practice self-care to maximize
the success of their
rehabilitation and understand
the care options that are
available to them.

What are your goals for your

care? How can I help you?
Dr. Kaminski asked these
questions while seeing his
colleagues medically
complex elderly patient. The
patients cardiologist and
nephrologist had not been
able to solve the mans
problems, and Dr. Kaminski
faced what he called a
medical catch-22, saying
When one condition is
treated and gets better, the
other condition gets worse.
His [the patients] past year
has been an endless cycle of
medication adjustments
carried out by dueling
specialists and punctuated by
emergency-room visits and
hospitalizations.
The patients answer: I
would like to be able to walk
without falling.
Knowing his patients desire,

Dr. Kaminski started to feel

more confident that he would
be able to help. He ordered
physical therapy at home, and
later, hospice services were
arranged. After the patient
passed away, his wife visited
Dr. Kaminski to discuss all of
her care options. Dr.
Kaminski was reassured that
he had helped her husband
fulfill the goals of his care.

affection, tenderness, and
love, in the midst of
months of chaos. In their
love, their tenderness, and
their hope, there is hope for
all of us.

WHAT I THINK I KNOW,

BUT IM NOT SURE
ABOUT THIS TOPIC.
Syrias civil war is the
worst humanitarian crisis
of our time. A lot of people
have been killed or forced
to flee their homes.
Families are struggling to
survive inside Syria, or
make a new home in
neighboring countries.
Others are risking their
lives on the way to Europe,
hoping to find acceptance
and opportunity. And the
onset of harsh winter
weather makes life as a
refugee even more
difficult. At times, the
effects of the conflict can
seem overwhelming.

WHAT I WOULD LIKE

TO LEARN ABOUT THIS
TOPIC.
I would like to know about
the cause of war in Syria,
When did the crisis start,
What is happening to
Syrians caught in the war,
Where are they fleeing to,
How are people escaping,
How many refugees are
there, What conditions are
refugees facing outside
camps, How many
refugees are children, and
other questions that I can
do to help to people,
especially refugee
childrens.
