united medical center :: Article Creator The Strange Tale Of St. Camillus Medical Center Story Keeps Getting Stranger The assets for the bankrupt Saint Camillus Medical Center in Hurst were sold at auction last week just as the CEO of a now-defunct hospital system that bought St. Camillus was sentenced to 21 months in prison. There is much to unpack there, so we will try to walk through the details. St. Camillus opened in 2016 as a private hospital owned by Physician Synergy Group (PSG), which owned and operated several hospitals in North Texas. One PSG campus was Pine Creek Medical Center, which made headlines when it closed in 2019 after federal authorities accused the hospital of fraud and faulty patient care. St. Camillus Medical Center On the surface, it looks like challenges during the pandemic took their toll on St. Camillus as on other hospitals in the area, including Trinity Regional Hospital Sachse, which was recently purchased at au...

preferred home health :: Article Creator What To Know About Home COVID Tests—And How To Get Them For Free Home COVID tests use strips that contain antibodies to a critical protein present in COVID-19, explains Hokeness. When you swab your nostril with the supplied swab and apply the sample to the test strip, lateral flow technology (similar to what's used in a pregnancy test, says Hokeness) moves the sample fluid over the antibodies on the test strip—"like a paper towel soaking up water." "If the COVID-19 antigens are present in the sample, they will bind to the antibodies, and you will get a positive result. If they are not present, you will not get binding and the results will be negative," says Hokeness. Types of Home COVID Tests The type of COVID test you choose may depend on its purpose. The majority of over-the-counter COVID tests that provide rapid results are antigen tests, which may be sufficient before attendin...

specialization of medicine :: Article Creator Your Medical Specialty Based On The Big Five Personality Traits What doctor specialty should you pursue based on your Big Five Personality type? If you're struggling to choose your medical path or want to know which personality traits best match each specialty, keep watching. Do personality tests have much scientific validity? Overall, the answer to that question is no. All personality tests have their limitations, which we covered in another guide that digs into the science behind their effectiveness. But there is one test that has some scientific backing, and that's the Big Five. While personality tests like Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram are popular amongst the masses, the Big Five is the most widely accepted personality test among scientists. This is because the Big Five uses a trait model rather than a type model. Although this makes test results a little less interesting, type mod...
