What does a typical day at an iHP on-site clinic look like? It's never just 'routine.' As healthcare providers, we're committed to delivering compassionate, patient-centric care - a commitment that takes on new meaning when emergencies arise at events. This commitment shines through in a recent instance involving a senior advisor at a key meeting where iHP was the on-site medical team.
The day started like any other, but took an unexpected turn when a VIP attendee walked into the on-site clinic, distressed and in pain. He had been experiencing severe abdominal discomfort all day, even after taking multiple stomach medications.
Upon his arrival, our expert on-site paramedic team along with our telemedicine physician swung into action. After a careful assessment, they identified the potential cause of his discomfort - appendicitis. This medical condition requires immediate attention, and we knew swift action was necessary.
We quickly arranged for ambulance transportation, communicated the seriousness of the situation to security and the planning team, notified the chosen ER of the pending patient, and all the while comforting and reassuring the attendee.
A few hours later, the attendee underwent an emergency appendectomy. Our expert medical team at IHP had correctly identified the issue and acted promptly, ensuring that he received the care he needed in time.
Fast forward two days later, the attendee was fit to be discharged from the hospital and returned to his event. It was a heartwarming moment when he walked in, accompanied by his family – his wife, children, and his father, who himself was an attendee of the same event. Their smiles radiated relief and gratitude.
To see them all together, healthy and safe, brought a deep sense of fulfillment to our team. Their heartfelt gratitude was a testament to the value of having medical professionals onsite.
This instance serves as a reminder of why we're here: to provide fast, efficient, and compassionate care when it matters the most. Whether it's a minor ache or a situation as serious as appendicitis, we at InHouse Physicians are committed to serving our patients with the utmost diligence and compassion.
The attendees' story is just one of many we have been privileged to be a part of at iHP. We take pride in delivering excellent medical care to attendees, but even more, we cherish the opportunity to make a real difference in their lives.
Our team at iHP stands ready, as always, prepared to respond to any medical situation with speed, expertise, and a whole lot of heart.
