me great opportunity to participate in Diocesan network of health and social work. What gave me the opportunity to listen, think, discuss with Prof. Thierry PHILIPP (President of the Centre Leon Berard, his speech to the PS is a summary of what we had told the regional conference Health / Office), Jean Claude MOISDON (Engineer, Ecole des Mines de Paris), Paul Perrin (WFP chief of surgery at the Centre Hospitalier Lyon Sud) and more Ghislaine recently Poyard - BERGER (Work Psychologist).
I simply quote a phrase from Professor PHILIP:
Confusing HEALTH CARE and
is a catastrophic mistake.
HEALTH CARE transcends and includes
For me, I'll say it a little differently:
Take seriously the medical event is important
but it only makes meaning that if one chooses
LAY CENTRE the person.
theoretical discourse that has nothing to do with our lives?
nay!
Thanks to Peter CURRENT, as early as 2005 in our OMI, we reflected on the entitlements for the elderly or dependent by law Kouchner. The "person" in our communities has become a familiar reality. It is enshrined in law for any hospital-type facility.
Here at the nursing homes Saint Francis of Assisi, we often encounter the following situation. A private doctor (physician reference) goes to see one of his patients. If it is disabled, he may well forget everything: he received Doctor's visit, what the Doctor told him (or do not tell him!) on his state of health, care programming and medical visits ... Whence then a possible denial of care, because excluding remained. If someone close (family, family that we are IMO) is there when the doctor explains to the ill or elderly person's diagnosis, this will allow us to reassure our brother, especially his retelling what the doctor he said. Obviously, this concept of respect for the person creates constraints: the doctor to notify the Community IMO, and then explain his diagnosis (which was not always done, the diagnosis was a case of "medical" and thus sometimes restricted to the medical staff of nursing homes), the Community IMO to make available ... Physicians who spend when they can.
But there's more. I take a specific example. One of my brothers complained of back and find that the sessions of physiotherapy him do the most good. But when her doctor recently, he forgets to tell him. So no Physio! So a sort of "memory" is to him to tell the doctor what he would say, but forgot in the moment. But there
has more. Again, I take a specific example. We who are beside him, we see that our brothers entered into a cycle of malnutrition, extreme weakness. Is not it our responsibility to initiate an alarm signal to the medical staff?
There are two important points to observe:
I provide to the Medical Coordinator of the appointment of trusted members of our Community.
Earlier this week, I provide the nurse an Oblate name for each day: it will make available to physicians for their encounter with our brothers the most disabled.
is a true path that all of us invent every day. With skill and goodwill of all: Director of nursing staff base. With the active solidarity of our community IMO for each of its members.
You see that this sentence is not theory but the concrete-concrete:
"Take seriously the medical event is important
but it only makes sense if one chooses to
TO THE CENTER the person. "
