Highlighting the athlete/patient
Early in the Olympics maybe you caught a video by Eli Lilly.
It starts with a somber voice saying, “You know, you only get one body.”
Seconds later we hear, “And someday, your body might get sick.”
It concludes with, “And since you only get one body, let’s fight like hell for it.”
The video was distributed to 25 top athletes who posted it throughout the two weeks on their personal social media.
Watch the 1-minute video – it’s a powerful piece and helps you consider your place in the industry as well as a patient and caregiver.
What’s in Your Scrolling – Part 2
In last month’s post What’s in Your Scrolling we asked about your mobile phone scroll patterns. You may recall …#taylorswift OR #howtolivehealthy
In that post, we highlighted free and powerful apps from Medscape and Epocrates that – after ten years on the market – provide a wealth of information for the patient and their providers.
Information that can help us ‘fight like hell’ for the patient.
Here are a few articles the Medscape filters provided me in the last week:
When Does an Article = Patient Information?
Answer: when the content is relevant to the reader and from a valid source.
And what is your role in getting good content in front of yourself, your patients, or those you care for? It’s a constant role – more important than #taylorswift
So head over to the Apple App Store or Google Play
Find the magnifier/search symbol and enter Medscape or Epocrates.
And as Ely Lilly implored in their video, “Let’s fight like hell.”
