Happy Pride Month to everyone! And when I say everyone, I mean EVERY single one of you—every human striving to survive and thrive in a world where that can seem impossible. I lift and share my voice (well… my lyrics—because my singing, at my children’s request, is reserved for showers and car rides) with you. Together, we are a chorus singing in exam rooms, classrooms, courtrooms, boardrooms, voting booths, chat rooms, and every room we can and do squeeze into.

I wrote this in 2017, when I was working with a simple EMR and when my practice had 15 minute visits. Years later, after adopting Epic, we never got over what was supposed to be a temporary slowing down to 30 minute visits while learning the new system. I have heard of practices where providers tell their patients that they’ll get 10 minutes face-to-face, so the doctor has enough time to work the computer, documenting the 10 minute encounter.

June is Men’s Health Month, and here at our office, we want to take a moment to focus on the fathers, brothers, sons, husbands, coworkers, and friends, who often put their health last on the list.

I wrote this in 2016, when my visits were shorter because that EMR was simpler. But the math is the same, no matter how long your normal appointments are. I have always tried to “squeeze” urgent visits in when I know the patient and the issue they’re having. I never liked when somebody else decided which patient and what kind of problem could be handled in half the time of another person’s appointment that could be something that, if anything, could have been expected to

If you’ve guessed 4.6 coughs, then you’ve hit the bull’s eye as this is what the most recent study indicates. We usually only pay attention to our coughing if it becomes more frequent and noticeable. In fact, cough accounts for one in five reasons we seek assistance from a healthcare provider.

What Is Hypertension? Hypertension is another name for high blood pressure. Every time the heart pumps, the muscular organ uses pressure to move blood through the arteries to other areas of the body. The intensity of the force used to push blood through the arteries is called blood pressure. Artery walls are made of muscle and elastic tissue. When the level of pressure is too high, doctors label this condition as hypertension or high blood pressure.
