Clients
MDDS (now Dupage Medical Group Endoscopy):
Here is a picture of the new doctors from DuPage Medical Group that will be doing procedures at MDDS starting on May 4th. Dr. Wang will be doing procedures on May 4th. Please introduce yourself and give them a warm Mobile welcome when you see them.
Dr. Morgan's last day was last week. Dr. Mann and Edin brought in goodies to celebrate his last day. He will still be doing procedures at the hospital and at the Naperville location.
Dr. Gaston:
Just a reminder to please dispose of the propofol in a 4x4 and NOT the garbage can.
Dr. Gaston had his mock accreditation survey last Friday. The surveyor followed a patient through the check in process, pre-op, procedure, and discharge. Overall, everything went great! Dr. Gaston asked the surveyor if it was okay to have the patient sign his discharge papers after they received anesthesia. Since the patients are awake and meet discharge criteria, it is okay to continue. Please be sure we are getting the discharge papers signed on every patient before they leave. Dr. Gaston is anticipating the accreditation to be sometime at the end of May.
Top Pain:
Top Pain has a new staff member. They have a new MA, Crystal that will be in the back helping out. Dr. Chen's wife, Jun has also been helping out a lot.
Dr. Mehta:
We will be working on getting one of our blue carts for the procedure room. He also discussed putting a shelf and cabinets in the procedure room, to give us more space to put all of our stuff. We can also use the small metal table in the procedure room. Please be sure to pack everything away and put it in the storage room, if it's a next day pick up. Dr. Mehta said they will be working on getting the storage room organized to allow us more space. Let's do our best to keep all of our equipment nice and tidy! Thank you!!
