Clear communication with family and staff is critical in patient care, and allowing that extra time for questions can mean so much to all involved. Thank yo, Dr. Egbo, for your wonderful example to others!

Comment on Recognition: The Essence Of A True Partnership by Philip B. Vaidyan MD

Dear Dr. Singer,
Thank you for your generosity in recognizing this small achievement which means a lot for a practicing physician who strives to achieve professional fulfillment. Your thoughtful comments in the blogs about the many wonderful IPC Physicians tell me that this company really cares about superb patient care.
One thing which is very rampant in our profession and but not much talked about is the practice of “Anchoring”. This can lead to wrong diagnosis (due to anchoring heuristics – we feel comfortable by an already suggested diagnosis, often from ER) and wrong impression about a patient (“difficult patient”). If we get anchored we may fail to ask the important questions, generate differential diagnosis and miss the opportunity to provide real solutions.
I sincerely appreciate to your wonderful leadership in Hospital Medicine.

Philip B. Vaidyan, MD, FACP

I was a former employee working as an RN at a smaller hospital and had the privelage of working with Dr. Bridges. I felt he also communicated well with the nursing staff allowing us to provide better care to our patients.
He would take time to educate the staff which gave us knowledge and confidence in ourselves to become better providers.
Thank you Dr. Bridges!
