Easton, PA - After almost a decade of enduring the challenges of private practice—including pre-authorization hassles, insurance complications, and overhead costs—Dr. Chukwudi Ogbolu discovered a niche solution that significantly enhances the quality of care for the geriatric population. In his role as Medical Director and attending physician at a local nursing facility, Dr. Ogbolu is happy with the percentages, offering 60% skilled nursing and 40% long-term care. Dr. Ogbolu's transition from private practice to a nursing home setting has been transformative. On the skilled nursing side, there's high patient turnover, which brings in diverse cases and keeps the work environment dynamic. Conversely, the long-term care side allows Dr. Ogbolu to build lasting relationships with his patients, akin to his experience in private practice. This dual approach ensures that patients receive comprehensive, individualized care. ?Compared to private practice, the facility provides the office space, staff, medication, and testing,? Dr. Ogbolu shares. ?It also reduced my practice overhead, in addition to making to making my revenue more predictable.? Dr. Ogbolu is part of a shifting trend in nursing homes, where having attending physicians on staff is becoming the norm. ?In the past, nursing homes did not have medical doctors on staff. Today, patients arrive with an average of 27 medications. For example, a patient wit a knee injury will need physical therapy. We can't do physical therapy until the patient is medically stable. Having an attending physician is increasingly a necessity,? Dr. Ogbolu notes. For more information about Dr. Ogbolu, please visit https://www.linkedin.com/in/chudi-ogbolu-ab7bba68

Imnaha, OR – When asked how she communicates with animals, Shirley Scott explains, ?When I'm communicating with an animal, I really am open to the animal sending me pictures and feeling their emotions in my body. To understand what they're saying, you have to really get out of your humanness. I always say dogs and animals cannot come into the human world; rather, we have to go into theirs. And that means without judgment, living in the present, and understanding where they're coming from. Animals know how we feel. ?We have to remember that all animals can smell pheromones, which are hormones produced by our glands. At every mood change, humans put out a different smell. We've all heard about dogs that can smell cancer. Animals have this ability for survival; in the wild, they have to know what's going on around them. Domesticated animals don't lose this ability, so they know what's going on often long before we even know. They know when we're sick before we actually know because we smell different. Animals can also see auras and the energies around us—they're good at seeing spirits. Many dog owners have noticed their pets looking just above the top of their heads instead of their eyes—these animals are looking at auras. Between pheromones and auras, animals 'awareness of what's going on is really heightened compared to humans,? explains Shirley. Shirley offers her psychic readings for both pets and humans over the phone, email or zoom in increments from 15-minutes to an hour. She also offers individual classes on animal communication and how to live a more peaceful, less stressful life. For more information about Shirley Scott, please visit https://www.shirley-scott.com
