Physician Spotlight

Please share your personal philosophy or a quote that describes your philosophy for practicing medicine.A quote from Rudyard Kipling is how I describe my philosophy in medicine and in life:“I Keep Six Honest Serving Men…”I keep six honest serving-men(They taught me all I knew);Their names are What and Why and WhenAnd How and Where and Who.I send them over land and sea,I send them east and west;But after they have worked for me,I give them all a rest.”

What are your challenges as a physician?To be a competent physician you have to be able to balance a lot of good facets of life. To remain up-to-date in medicine while staying a “people person”, be effective in implementation of knowledge while having peers and colleagues to share your understanding and vision, to be careful while being confident, to take care of the person or family while taking care of the disease. Above all, a wholesome physician has to attempt professional excellence while taking care of one’s own family and loved ones.

What keeps you coming back each day?So little time and so much to do – is what keeps me coming back each day or on occasion not leave at all.

What do you believe patients value the most in their physicians?Honesty and thoroughness. We don’t have all the answers or predictions, but having patients and their families be on the same page is what helps them tide over the difficult times.

Share with us some of your favorite hobbies?Traveling the world, exploring new cultures while spending time with family.

Please share your new project, TeamSTEPPS with us:Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is a place that tests you as a patient and as a caregiver. They are the most vulnerable human beings as your patients and you must be one of the most passionate caregivers. Balancing emotions along with having strong opinions about patient care, can lead to misinterpretation of information and decreased patient safety; along with destabilizing the team effort needed for the care of these fragile patients. Successful promotion of patient safety requires an organizational culture committed to patient safety, that values “safety” far more than production and economic efficiency. Several non-medical organizations have included safety as an utmost priority in their culture and mission statements. Nuclear power plants, the aeronautic industry, air-traffic control industry, are examples of

high-reliability organizations. A good safety culture transpires a safety climate in which workers are willing and able to voice opinions without hesitation, and feel safe from punitive retaliation.

To further enhance the quality and safety of our NICU we are coordinating with MEDNAX Safety Program to bring a pilot project based on “TeamSTEPPS.” Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPS) is an evidence-based set of teamwork tools, aimed at optimizing patient outcomes by improving communication and teamwork skills among health care professionals. It requires a comprehensive materials & training curriculum to successfully integrate teamwork principles into any health care system.

Tell us about your family.I am married to Shivani Choudhary and have two (2) kids; a 9 year old daughter and a 6 year old son. Shivani is a Pediatrician and has been the inspiration and support behind all the extra hours needed for the job.

Patients Immunization (Shot) RecordsTo acquire a copy of immunization (shot) record, clients must go to Genesee County Health Department’s Burton Clinic, not the Floyd McCree building. The Burton clinic is at 3373 S. Saginaw, Burton, MI 48529. Clients must bring a picture I.D. and $2 cash. If a client is age 18 or older, they, not their parent, must request and pick up their immunization record. Our state data base only dates back to the early 1990’s. If the client was born prior to the early 90’s we may not have a copy of their record in our system. During our busy season (school rush) Shot records may take up to 24 hours to obtain. However in most cases, we are able to print them the same day.

Hurley Medical Center Receives Advanced Certification as a Primary Stroke CenterHurley Medical Center to proud to announce it has earned an Advanced Certification as a Primary Stroke Center from The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. The certification recognizes hospitals equipped to provide stroke patients with timely, evidence-based care. Hurley recently underwent a rigorous onsite review to assess its compliance with the Joint Commission’s certification requirements, including:

• A dedicated stroke-focused program• Staffing by qualified medical professionals trained in stroke care• Collaboration with local emergency management agencies• 24/7 ability to perform rapid diagnostic and laboratory testing• Ability to administer intravenous clot-busting medications to eligible patients• A robust quality assurance program

“We are delighted to receive the advanced certification as a Primary Stroke Center,” said Mohammed Al-Qasmi, MD, Stroke Medical Director at Hurley. “This certification demonstrates our commitment to providing a higher standard of service to stroke patient and the motivation to continually strive for ongoing advancements in stroke related care.”

Stroke is the number five cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability in the United States, according to the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. On average, someone suffers a stroke every 40 seconds;

someone dies of a stroke every four minutes; and 795,000 people suffer a new or recurrent stroke each year.

Established in 2003, the Advanced Certification for Primary Stroke Centers is awarded for a two-year period to Joint Commission-accredited hospitals.

PET/CT Imaging FacilitiesOver the past year our community physicians have referred patients to receive their PET/CT services through Hurley at the Eastside Campus location at Court and Robert T. Longway Boulevard. I’d like to thank you for those past referrals and inform you that as of January 1, 2017, Hurley will discontinue this service.

Although there are always a number of factors that are taken into account when determining whether to discontinue a service, we always remain concerned with our patient’s ability to access care when needed. Given that there are others in the community that provide this service, and these locations are accessible by public transportation, we are comfortable that our discontinuation of this service will not have a negative impact on patients ability to access PET/CT imaging.

We value collaboration with our physician partners and want to ensure that you can continue to refer patients with confidence that they will get the care needed. With that in mind the list below provides you with other locations that offer PET/CT imaging and are accessible by public transportation. Those are:
