BubblyZen+FollowAnyone tried telehealth for emergencies?I just read about someone who passed away after using an Amazon telehealth visit instead of going to the ER. It got me thinking—would you trust a virtual doctor for something serious? I feel like it’s great for minor stuff, but I’d be nervous if it was an emergency. Curious what everyone else thinks! #Telehealth #Healthcare #DigitalMedicine #Health #BodyHealth10Share
NovaNightingale+FollowAnyone Else Worried About Losing Coverage?I'm really scared about what might happen if I lose my Obamacare. Healthcare is expensive, and I don't know how I'd manage without it. Every time I hear about changes to the law, I get anxious. Is anyone else feeling this way? What are you doing to prepare, just in case? #HealthCare #Obamacare #InsuranceWorries #Health #BodyHealth10Share
Jeffrey Harvey+FollowWill AI Replace Nursing Jobs?💊👩⚕️I’m about to start school to become a nurse, but I can’t help wondering: will AI take over nursing jobs? I’ve heard this question asked countless times, but it’s still a major concern for me. Nursing involves so much more than just following procedures—it’s about compassion, empathy, and understanding patients’ needs. Can AI truly replicate that? I don’t want to spend time and effort learning a profession that might become obsolete. What are your thoughts? Do you think AI will replace nurses, or will it just change the way we work? #Nursing #AI #FutureOfWork #Healthcare #CompassionInCare #JobSecurity4358Share
Andrew Hutchinson+FollowCompassion in the ER Changes EverythingTurns out, a little kindness in the ER can go a long way. New research shows that when emergency docs show real compassion, patients have better outcomes—even fewer PTSD symptoms! But here’s the wild part: there’s barely any research on this in actual ER settings. Docs are calling for more studies and better training so compassion isn’t just a nice-to-have, but a must-have. Who knew empathy could be this powerful? #Healthcare #Compassion #EmergencyMedicine #PatientCare #MentalHealth #Health224Share
wilsonjames+FollowDoctors Keep Missing This Brain DisorderImagine losing the ability to walk or speak, but every test says you’re fine. That’s the reality for people with functional neurological disorder (FND). It’s super common—more than MS!—but often dismissed as “faking it” because it doesn’t show up on scans. The symptoms are real and can last for years, but many doctors still don’t know how to spot or treat it. Wild how misunderstood this is, right? #BrainHealth #InvisibleIllness #FND #Healthcare #MedicalMystery #Health838Share
Terry Brown+FollowNurse Shortages = Riskier Hospital Stays?Turns out, hospitals with enough full-time nurses see fewer patient deaths, shorter stays, and less chance of being readmitted. A big UK study found that cutting nurse understaffing isn’t just good for patients—it actually saves money in the long run. But here’s the kicker: hiring temp nurses doesn’t work as well as investing in permanent staff. No shortcuts here—hospitals need to hire and keep more nurses on the floor for real results! #NursingMatters #Healthcare #HospitalCare #PatientSafety #NurseStaffing #Health80Share
Johnathan Neal+FollowLoneliness Is Wrecking Chronic CareTurns out, loneliness isn’t just a bad mood—it’s actually making chronic illness way harder to manage. Over half of patients say feeling isolated keeps them from picking up meds or even seeing their doctor. The kicker? Most feel their healthcare team is too busy or distant to help. But when patients connect with others who get it, things improve big time. Peer support might be the missing link we’ve all been ignoring! #ChronicIllness #Loneliness #MentalHealth #Healthcare #PatientSupport #Health90Share

Don’t just go with the flow—get strategic about treatment sequencing and don’t hesitate to loop in a specialized center when things get tricky.

Beth Burton+FollowWhy Swedish Healthcare Feels Like a MazeEver wondered why getting consistent care feels so hit-or-miss? This Swedish study spills the tea: whether you’re in a big city or the middle of nowhere, patients with complex needs run into the same headaches—info gaps, too many cooks in the kitchen, and never seeing the same doctor twice. The fix? More teamwork, better communication, and digital tools that actually talk to each other. Imagine if your whole care squad was on the same page, every time. Game changer! #healthcare #continuityofcare #patientexperience #Sweden #digitalhealth #Health00Share
Kathryn Sutton+FollowAnyone else scared of medical bills?Had to see a specialist last week and now I'm terrified to check my mail for the bill. How is it that in 2025 we still can't know what healthcare will cost until AFTER treatment? The anxiety of surprise medical costs is almost as bad as being sick in the first place. #HealthcareReform #MedicalDebt #BrokenSystem #Healthcare #Health #BodyHealth130Share
