Here is what a patient said about me when I went to her house in an emergency because she was bleeding from her umbilical artery.
“Dr. Bloem has been my physician for years, and he knows about my medical history, which includes a defect in my navel that makes me prone to rupturing my umbilical artery. When I bled from the artery for the third time, I knew I had to go to the hospital right away. Due to my disability, a trip to the hospital would have been extremely difficult for me. I called Dr. Bloem, and at first he didn’t want to help because it was hard to get to the place where I was bleeding. However, he quickly changed his mind and came to my house to suture the artery shut. His patient-centered care and medical expertise saved me from a potentially dangerous situation. As I talk about my time with Dr. Bloem, I want to stress how important holistic medical care is in an emergency.
When Dr. Bloem arrived at my home, I was in a great deal of pain and bleeding heavily. The gauze pads I had been using to stop the bleeding were soaked through, and there was a pool of blood on the floor. Dr. Bloem quickly took a look at what was going on and saw that the bleeding was coming from the umbilical artery. Even though the bleeding was difficult to see, Dr. Fred was able to suture the artery closed in my home using his medical supplies and instruments. His gentle hands and calm demeanor helped me feel at ease during the procedure.
Dr. Bloem is a holistic physician, which means that he provides medical care that considers the whole person, not just their symptoms. He knows my medical history, including the fact that I have a defect in my navel that makes me more likely to rupture my umbilical artery. Because he knew about my medical history, he was able to give me expert care that was tailored to my needs.
After Dr. Bloem had successfully sutured the umbilical artery closed, he stayed with me to make sure that the bleeding had stopped and that I was comfortable. He also provided follow-up care to ensure Dr. Fred has been my physician for years, and he knows about my medical history which includes a defect in my navel that makes me prone to rupturing my umbilical artery.
