Common area at Poly U



We might pass by this area everyday. Hope to meet you soon!

Insurance

Do you have an insurance?
Which type?
What is the coverage?
How much do it cost?
With a reliable agent?
...

Does it really matter as long as the insurance company pays as much as your family or/ and your need(s) in your accident ASAP?

New Haircut


Cool... I have got a haircut today. It's nice!

Dear Candy:

Using visuals can enhance a presentation, but they introduce one more hurdle that must be crossed to deliver an excellent presentation. For that reason the heart of the presentation must always remain the presenter, not the media.

Customer Service Everywhere

You might have to do the same thing and deal with the same people over and over again. As you know that, I am new to an environment and do not want to come again. Could you mind being extra nice to me in order to make a better world? It will make life easier.

My beloved Dr. Laohaprasit

AED Chapter Meeting 4/16/02

Team Survivor Northwest introduced themselves. They provide activities and services for breast cancer survivors. Their email address is tsnw@u.washington.edu for those interested in volunteering.

Dr. Lao

Thailand background: attended medical school there and received neurosurgery training. He practiced in a small town for three years with basic resources.

In 1985 he tried to get into the UW residency program. He volunteered without an application or pay at Harborview Medical Center for six months. He became chief resident just after six months and a full resident after one year, for seven years. He has been practicing for ten years now in his own practice in Kirkland/Bellevue.

Being a doctor is not business: it’s a calling.

It requires dedication, time, and sacrifice.
It’s not for money—there isn’t much reimbursement nowadays.
You need to enjoy helping people.

There are two kinds of doctors: research and practitioner.

Practitioners love to be around people and bring them out of suffering.
Residency training: how to become successful.

It was tough for him because he didn’t know the language/culture.

Principles of success:

Success. Submit to the boss. Listen to the chief resident. If you go against an order, you are responsible for any mistakes made.

Enjoy what you’re doing so you can last to the end. Every patient you see is your teacher. In Thailand, there were no diagnostic machines. Diagnosis came from the mouth of the patient. Doctors often make mistakes because they look at machine results, not the patient. If you see the patient as a burden, you can’t survive. See how they walk, who they are. They are your teachers.

Get along with everyone: nurses, physical therapists, patients, their family, janitors, and bosses. Medicine is called a practice because it’s an art. Smart doctors can fail in practice because they see medicine as a science, not the art of getting along. Human relationships are one of the most important things in medicine.

In a real practice, bedside manner and relationships are sometimes more important than head knowledge. Patients can switch doctors because of poor bedside manner. Look at the patient as a family member. This takes practice.

Money shouldn’t control you. Don’t make a decision based on money or your own benefit. This will lead to a lawsuit. The medical doctor is not a scientist. If you think this way, you will treat the patient like an object. You need to care for their wellbeing.

Be a good observer. You never see the same case twice. Each patient is unique. You might miss something. Some practices have nurses that take the story down and then the doctor reads it later—this leaves out observation.

The patient has three parts: physical body, soul, and spirit.
In Thailand, he saw lots of spiritual things. Doctors must deal with the whole person, not just the physical illness. Be sensitive to feelings and backgrounds. For example, a patient may have flu symptoms, but they may be due to familial problems. There is prevention versus treatment.

Don’t go to medical school because you want money or you want to be a scientist. You go to help mankind. Sickness is mankind’s worst enemy.

Dr. Lao has seen bad practice in this society, where the patient, after the doctor has already been paid, comes back worse than before and the doctor doesn’t care because he’s already been paid.

Patients teach you about relating, like not scaring them away and how to make decisions. He has seen patients that were passed off by many doctors. The longer you practice, the better you get. You learn every day as a doctor.

Being a Christian doctor has helped Dr. Lao. His philosophy of putting himself in other shoes has helped him also. He doesn’t like suffering. But patients can abuse you, so have protection guidelines. Patients may want drugs or otherwise take advantage of you.

Communication is key. It makes patients feel like you care, even if you can’t help them all the time. If you can’t help a person, you must realize you’ve done your best. You can’t save everyone. As long as you have the right heart, you’ve done your best. Sometimes medical knowledge alone can’t help, but you can help as a person.

Dr. Lao doesn’t use email in his practice. It’s a document and can be used against you in a lawsuit. Patients also get angry if you’re too busy to reply. Learn to protect yourself legally. The patient isn’t your friend forever.

Dr. Lao can be reached at varun@hopeofgod.org

Teamwork

“Keep your mind open to change all the time. Welcome it. Court it. It is only by examining and reexamining your opinions and ideas that you can progress.”

- Dale Carnegie

Dear Candy:

Call a meeting with those persons who are familiar with this problem. It should include your own staff, of course, but it may be advantageous to invite persons from related areas who can contribute their ideas.

- Let all the participants know the subject to be discussed in advance to the meeting.
- Record all ideas, but do not attempt to analyze them at this time.
- After a period of incubation (anywhere from a half hour to a full day), call the team together, and run another 15 - 30 minute session. Record these new ideas.
- Have the team select three to five of the best ideas.
- Develop that idea.

Do you remember my name?

“Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.”

- Dale Carnegie

Dear Candy:

No single action conveys the message "you're important" as effectively as remembering another person's name. Here are some steps you might take to help ensure name recollection:

- Hear and understand the name
- Create a mind picture linking the name with the person
- Add details about the person to the mind picture
- Repeat the name in conversation

A good call from Fun, my Moyga Friend

Please look at this...AND SMILE...

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend; Someone who changes your life just by being part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop; Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. Always try to help a friend in need Believe in yourself Be brave...but it's ok to be afraid sometimes Study hard Give lots of kisses Laugh often Don't be overly concerned with your weight, it's just a number Always try to see the glass half full Meet new people, even if they look different to you Remain calm, even when it seems hopeless Take lots of naps.. Be weird whenever you have the chance Love your friends, no matter who they are Don't waste food RELAX Take an occasional risk Try to have a little fun each day.

...it's important Work together as a team Share a joke with friends Fall in love with someone.. ...and say "I love you" often Express yourself creatively Be conscious of your appearance Always be up for surprises Love someone with all of your heart Share with friends Watch your step It will get better There is always someone who loves you more than you know Exercise to keep fit Live up to your name Seize the Moment Hold on to good friends; they are few and far between Indulge in the things you truly love Cherish every Sunday At the end of the day... PRAY ....... and close your eyes
And smile at least once a day!

:) Life is good, isn't it!

Sorry for not being there sometimes

Currently, I am working on a few interesting projects. Therefore, please forgive me. As soon as they are over, I will be right with you.

Have a fun weekend!

Love,

Candy

Be joyful for what you have

“We forge the chains we wear in life.”

- Charles Dickens

Dear Candy:

Embrace things in your life that drive you to achieve, and start letting go of those things that do not. It is difficult to distinguish the category in which any of your activities belong, but paying attention to your choices and their consequences will sponsor the awareness you'll need to make better life choices in the future. Although things that bring us happiness outside of work can be our greatest inspiration for professional success, often they are so simple, we cast them aside as inconsequential. Do not do this. Remember the small things that make you happy, and use them to battle things that loom much larger and stress you out. Consider these suggestions:

- Fill your mind with thoughts of peace, courage, hope, and health
- Never try to get even with your enemies
- Expect ingratitude
- Count your blessings, not your troubles
- Try not to imitate others
- Create happiness for others

The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.
