Con el debido respeto

Con el debido respeto

En el último tiempo, en el contexto de mi internado de Medicina Interna, me la he pasado más tiempo en el hospital que en cualquier otra cosa. De ahí ha que el poco tiempo que he tenido fuera, dificilmente pueda invertirlo en cosas que no tengan algo que ver con mi experiencia hospitalaria. En esto, las experiencias han sido MUCHAS. Disculpando lo monotematica de mi experiencia, voy a pasar a compartir con ustedes algunas experiencias significativas en este tiempo, desde la reflexión propia y la vivencia más personal aún. La primera es: “Con el debido respeto”: sobre la realeza y la plebe en un hospital.
En cierta visita de un equipo de subespecialistas, yo me encontraba escribiendo en el computador un ingreso de un paciente que había visto en el SUAO y que subiría prontamente. En eso, llego todo el grupo de staff, becados e internos de la especialidad. En eso escuché al lado mío a la médico jefa del equipo al lado mío que me dice “estoy esperando que me des el asiento”. Cómo era habitual en nuestra sala de médicos, en que no había suficientes sillas para todos, procedí de buena gana a hacer lo que siempre hacíamos para arreglárnoslas en estas circunstancias: “con mucho gusto doctora, podemos compartir la silla”. Me moví y deje más de la mitad de la silla para que se pudiera sentar y yo también poder continuar con mis funciones. En este momento con cierta ofuscación escuche devuelta “No. Estoy hablando en serio cuando te digo que me des la silla”. Tal vez erróneamente insistí, haciendo uso del sentido del humor “doctora, no se ponga así, podemos compartir sin problema”.
 Ahí comenzó el momento de furia, enojo de por medio, me pidieron mi nombre en voz alta, lo anotaron en una hoja y me recordaron que esto “no se quedaría así”. De una u otra forma ya conocía a esta doctora, de quien siempre he tenido una muy buena impresión, sabiendo que muchas veces tiene un carácter un poco difícil. Sin embargo siempre me ha dado la sensación de ser una buena persona, que nada haría de mala intención, más que en algún momento responder de una manera dura en virtud de su carácter fuerte. Por eso, pese al incidente que dejo a varios medios boquiabiertos, me quede tranquilo.
Sin embargo después reflexione nuevamente sobre lo ocurrido. Me pregunte mucho si había estado bien o no lo que hice. De cierta forma me di cuenta que la forma en que me comporte, se interpretó como una falta de respeto, tal vez una muy grave. La pregunta para mí era entonces ¿por qué? A mí me pareció totalmente natural la posibilidad de compartir una silla. Si no hay suficientes, todos podemos hacer un pequeño esfuerzo y arreglárnosla. Esa es mi postura, ya que considero a todos como iguales. El respeto que me debe cada persona es en relación a su calidad de persona y no a su título académico o profesional. Por ello me pareció lo totalmente natural el comportarme de esa forma. Sin embargo, entendí que eso no es para todos igual. En el medio que nos movemos, no se supone que seamos todos iguales. Hay jerarquías y esas jerarquías tienen un valor. Yo no valgo como Cristóbal, si no como interno. Como Cristóbal puedo valer lo mismo que Juanito, Pepito o Pedrito, pero como interno no valgo lo mismo que un médico, menos uno subespecialista. Eso fue algo que muchas veces había pensado, como una de esas cosas terribles de nuestro sistema, pero que ahora se me hacía claro. Así era nada más, aunque estuviera moralmente en desacuerdo, era la realidad. Las personas no valían en virtud de su calidad de personas y su dignidad humana, sino en virtud del “título” que ostentan o del “rol” que desempeñan.
Ahora entiendo un poco más lo que paso ese día, por qué fue tan terrible y en qué medida fue una falta de respeto de mi parte el haber ofrecido compartir una silla a una persona de mayor jerarquía que la mía. Como decía Napoleón, personaje de George Orwell “Todos somos iguales, pero hay algunos más iguales que otros”. En tiempos que la democracia reina y los regímenes monárquicos desaparecen, los reyes y reinas perduran dentro de los hospitales. Particularmente entre los médicos. Espero mantenerme toda la vida como un ciudadano más, cumpliendo mi deber, con cariño, dedicación y siempre, con el debido respeto. A todos.

How the mobile internet can transform healthcare


How the mobile internet can transform healthcare

in TECH
by Dave deBronkart
Our colleague Susannah Fox of the Pew Internet & American Life Project has done much research about trends in mobile, particularly about health.
In contrast, Meeker focuses on overall big trends. She sees aspects I’ve never noticed, like what-all constitutes mobile: when I hear the term, I think handheld phones (iPhone, Droid, Blackberry), but she makes the case that mobile web access (and other wireless) is much more than phones.
As we think about how mobile can transform what’s possible in healthcare – especially access to health info and services for people globally who don’t have home PCs – this is important.
Flip through the slides; my starter questions are below.
#7: Mobile internet ramping faster than desktop did: The chart overlays quarterly growth curves from the start of different technologies: iPhone/iTouch vs Netscape (browsers) and AOL. Cautiously I note that huge number of *phone* sales doesn’t necessarily equate to internet *use* – but, there’s no question they all do bring mobile internet access.
#12: Social media usage surpassing email usage: Fascinating pair of curves – the number of users of email isn’t far behind, but usage of socmed zoomed past three years ago. Question: how much of your inbox is stuff you want to keep, vs the more “champagne bubble” nature of social media – view / pop / gone?
#13: Cloud computing applications: Notice that just about everything is there, except our health data.  I bet that’s going to change, and a key driver may be parents wanting handy access to their kids’ medical info – the Mama Lion effect we’ve discussed here.
#17: Ten year tech cycles: I’d note that the later decades are off by 5 years: PC/Mac started mid-decade (1984), browsers ’94, mobile browsing mid-2000′s. But the point stands.
#18, Reduced usage friction: This is the one that made me decide to write here. More power, better usability, more apps, more services => 10x more devices. True: I myself have just switched from a Blackberry to a Droid X. Why? On an 11 day speaking tour with my wife, time after time we got out her Droid because it could solve a problem that my BBY couldn’t.
That’s important: on the road we were more like people with no home broadband.
The Droid’s not an easy transition for me – it’s such a gadget that it’s not always obvious how  to answer the phone app when it rings. But, as Meeker’s later slides show, what I now have in my hand is very different from a mere phone and email appliance.
But on the right side of the slide, look what Meeker includes in mobile:
  • iPad (which is not a phone)
  • Kindle (can access data (books, newspapers) but it’s not a Web browser)
  • MP3 players (at least the ones that can download media)
  • Car electronics – e.g. GPS that can access traffic data, gas prices etc)
  • Home entertainment (is Netflix mobile if it’s tethered to your Wii or cable??)
Combined with earlier slides on mobile’s market share, this made me remember: “internet” is not just web browsing. I knew that – my ACOR.org cancer patient listserv is internet but not Web – but it somehow had escaped my thinking about the future of mobile for health. Any mobile device that can get at data over the internet is mobile internet. Duh.
#19: Good summary of the evolution of how we use devices and what we use them for.
#31: Well executed infographic on the shift in how people spend time online. Facebook and YouTube rising, all others shrinking. But where do non-Web apps (see above) fit into this?
#35: Salesforce.com cloud enterprise computing platform:Read this and understand it.
  • This is the sales & marketing management system that I managed at my last day job. I know this system. It’s usable, very powerful, and very very extendable with plug-ins and apps. (Not perfect, not easy, but usable and powerful.)
  • For a long time, big-iron system vendors like Oracle and Siebel poo-pooed Salesforce as not powerful enough for real companies. Within ten years it kicked their butt; in 2008 Cisco Systems bought a worldwide site license, pretty much ending any question about whether it’s powerful enough for “real companies.”
    • That is a classic example of Clayton Christensen’s “disruptive innovation” concept.
  • I’d bet my house that the same thing is going to play out in EMR / EHR systems. Watch. It may take ten years again, but watch.
  • btw, Salesforce.com is a major investor in disruptive EMR/PHR vendor PracticeFusion. Watch.
#37ff: VoIP (voice over internet, e.g. Skype): Just notice that the whole idea of what a “phone” is has come apart at the seams. There’s the thing that hears your voice (might be in your desk phone, your handheld, or desktop computer’s mic), the thing that emits the other person’s voice (same list), and the part that carriesthe sound might be heaven-only-knows-what. Cable modem, wifi, cell network, who knows.
And be aware that the same applies to video. As quality gets better, what does this mean about the concept of a doctor “visit”? How does the world change if your nurse can see you without you leaving home or office and waiting in her waiting room?
This doesn’t replace all office visits but it can replace some. AsAmerican Well has proven, it’s a tier of care, which people love – they’re growing like a weed. And yes, insurance pays for it.
#43: Mobile web and app usage far outpaces share of devices sold: This bolsters the point that these devices in no way resemble a Blackberry (the “RIM” column). And that awakens me to the reality that an app phone is a completely different device.
Is it appropriate for us to talk about smartphones anymore? Seems to be the split is between app phones and non-app devices. This chart makes clear which is which.
#44: Changes in device share: Another lovely infographic. RIM (Blackberry) is being crushed by app phones. (Note – this goes through Feb 2010; Android has grown more, and the new Windows Phone may change the mix.)
#54: ShopSavvy app: A spectacular example of mashups of data from different sources.
  • Imagine this kind of shopping power applied to finding treatment options. (Yes, this is blue sky, not around the corner. Imagine it. For your kid, your elders, your friends.)
  • Imagine the mashup possibilities when combined with the government’s Open Health Data initiative.
#63: Note that health is not yet on the radar.
#75: Payment issues on desktop vs mobile: Very important to the business future of these apps, and thus the investment future. Especially the first bullet: mobile has easy-to-use secure instant payment; desktop browsers don’t, and are open to widespread fraud. (My own experience taking payments by PayPal has taught me how big an issue this is – PayPal can get hobbled by its own security against hackers. This is a big impediment to growth.)

Utilidad de la ecografía transrectal con Doppler color en el diagnóstico del cáncer de próstata. Estudio de 101 casos

Utilidad de la resonancia magnética en el cáncer de próstata

Utilidad de la resonancia magnética en el cáncer de próstata
Radiologia. 2010;52:513-24.

El cáncer de próstata(CP) es la neoplasia más frecuente en el varón y su diagnóstico viene marcado por el tacto rectal y niveles sospechosos de PSA que obligan a biopsia prostática. Hasta fechas recientes los métodos de imagen disponibles no eran capaces de definir el CP. Actualmente la RM prostática ofrece información anatómica y funcional de primera magnitud con alto grado de especificidad y posibilidad de estadificación locorregional y a distancia. En esta revisión se realiza una puesta al día de las indicaciones y el papel de la RM en el diagnóstico del CP.
