There's a question today due to the rise of wellness. How does wellness coexist or integrate into modern healthcare? I come from a more scientific background and have always been practical and focused on research and medicine in the mainstream. I think it's important to look at and understand how patients believe in and comply with some of the directions and improved outcomes that come with mainstream healthcare.
There's a significant role that wellness can play in the healthcare system, and one way to look at it is to see how effective nurses work with patients. Much of what they do is not just the techniques of modern medicine, but it's in their ability to influence, calm, and bring peace to a patient. We need to be open-minded and empathize with patients in order to discover what might work. What approaches can improve compliance and outcomes for any individual patient?
