I have extensive experience in assisting with and managing endoscopic procedures such as colonoscopies and upper endoscopies. In my previous role, I was responsible for patient preparation, procedural assistance, and post-procedure care. I also conducted pre-procedure assessments, ensuring patients were adequately prepared and informed. My experience has equipped me with the skills to handle complications and provide immediate interventions if needed.

In a busy gastroenterology practice, I prioritize patient care by first assessing the urgency of each case. I ensure that patients with acute conditions or those requiring immediate attention are seen promptly. For routine cases, I use a triage system to manage the flow of patients efficiently. I also maintain open communication with the gastroenterology team to coordinate care and address any emerging issues quickly.

I believe in using clear, concise language and visual aids to educate patients about their gastrointestinal health. I take the time to explain diagnoses, treatment options, and preventive measures in a way that patients can understand. I also encourage questions and provide written materials for reference. Additionally, I follow up with patients to ensure they are comfortable with the information and to address any further concerns they may have.

When a patient is non-compliant with their treatment plan, I first try to understand the reasons behind their non-compliance. I engage in open dialogue to address any concerns or misconceptions they may have. I provide additional education and support, emphasizing the importance of adherence to their health outcomes. If necessary, I involve the gastroenterologist or a behavioral health specialist to provide further assistance and develop a more tailored approach to improve compliance.

One challenging case involved a patient with severe gastrointestinal bleeding. The situation required immediate action, so I quickly coordinated with the gastroenterology team to prepare for an emergency endoscopy. During the procedure, I assisted in identifying and managing the source of the bleeding. Post-procedure, I provided continuous monitoring and supportive care, ensuring the patient's condition stabilized. This experience reinforced the importance of teamwork, quick decision-making, and thorough patient follow-up in critical situations.
