At home, healing the homeless - at home skin care devices

For most of his 35 years old
One year of medical career, doctor
Neil kallone has treated pain and potential career
Ended the injury of the city's elite athletes.
A 59-year-old specialist in sports medicineyear-
The old doctor has been a team doctor for the Winnipeg Blue Berg team for 23 years, and has been taking care of the health of the Canadian national women's volleyball team for 25 years.
In 1994, he opened a traditional sports medicine clinic on San medowood Avenue.
It is important that in the past few years, care and compassion have been provided for people who have never been

Be a weekend warrior.
Despite career commitment to high
Horizontal competition, the most important lesson the doctor has learned in life has been taught to the most vulnerable member of society, the Winnipeg homeless.
For the past 10 years, every two Fridays, kallong has volunteered to take the time to treat the serious injuries and diseases suffered by patients at the medical clinic in the center of Siroya mission.
His experience in the clinic is unforgettable.
Change and let him write a firm heart
The wisdom of the homeless: lessons learned by doctors in homeless shelters.
The goal of writing a book by the Clapton people --
Proceeds will be used to support Siloam-
Provide winniperg with a window to a world he will never visit and share the extraordinary lessons he has learned.
It is divided into 21 chapters, each highlighting the seemingly tragic case of a homeless patient, but the kallons share their story as a lesson of resilience, courage, find the ability to be happy and the indomitable power of the human spirit in suffering.
Although the name has been changed to protect the patient's identity, the story is true.
Every story is from the perspective of his Christian faith, but the Khao said, "this book needs to be accessible to all of us because I think the lessons are good for all of us.
"The beginning of the book is the story of a young man who does not share the typical gross behavior --around-the-
The edge look of most sheltered clients.
"The patient I'm going to see is wearing a normal tattered dress, but his facial features are very noticeable," Craton wrote . ".
"In fact, I was wondering if he played a role.
He is an Aboriginal man in his thirties, with a distinct chin profile, black hair shining under his shoulders, and hair may fall off directly from shampoo ads.
"But this man has a unique smell of glue --
Smell and odor of anaerobic bacteria infection.
What's more, he's not. or couldn’t —
Speaking, rejecting the pen and paper offer, just nodded to a extras on the left arm.
"Once the splints fall off, it's clear that my patient has a big problem.
The skin is infected with open skin, the wrist is broken badly, and the bones are free to move.
My silent patient suffered from an infected, unstable, open fracture that has been left unattended for several days.
"The man was taken to hospital for emergency surgery, but two months later he appeared again at the clinic and his left arm was cut off below his elbow.
He didn't say a word, but it was clear that his limbs were infected and needed treatment.
"The man endured the pain in silence," clatonte wrote.
I remember feeling frustrated because there was nothing I could do to change his situation . . . . . . I have not been silent since his second visit.
I wonder if he's still alive.
I wonder why he's not talking.
I think I can still hear him.
"In a restaurant on Corydon Avenue, sitting on a hearty breakfast of bacon, eggs, potato pancakes and toast, craton was asked if he could compare the pain experienced by elite athletes to that of the homeless.
The doctor said: "When I am sitting opposite the athletes or people with arthritis, I can fully sympathize with them because I also have a lot of pain myself, he was a football and basketball star when he was young, and later became an endurance athlete, taking part in the marathon and the triathlon.
"But when I was sitting across the table from a person who was full of pain, sadness, addiction and abandonment all my life, other than that they were homeless and besides that they were also miserable, you're just surprised how they put 1 feet of the people in front of the other person.
How did they do it?
I am not surprised at the athletes. I get it.
"When his faith leads him to a new volunteer --
Opening the salsair health center, siloya mission month, 6foot-
Three medical doctors began to follow up on his experience.
Then, one day, a government agency invited him to give an inspiring speech on the issues of serving customers and serving the community.
"I told the story of a blind patient whose hearing aid was stolen and reacted very strongly.
The story really resonated with people, so I started writing more similar experiences in Siloam, and I had 30 to 40 of them before I knew it.
In the second chapter, the crats recalled the day of his time. 20-year-
Rachel, the old niece, volunteers at the clinic.
"Our last patient in the morning was a blind Metis named Sam," he wrote . ".
"In his early twenties, he needed a guide to help him get from the reception area to the examination room.
"It turns out that Sam is seeking medication to help regulate his sleep cycle, but his problem is deeper.
"Sam told us that he was often bullied and beaten," the doctor wrote . ".
He heard it too.
His hearing aid was stolen during a recent street robbery in Winnipeg.
It made him shine.
The world could hardly be damaged by navigation.
He has no money and no chance to get a new hearing aid.
"In addition to that, the blind patient's big toe was sore, swollen, socks glued to the skin, stuck together with pus and dry blood.
"We washed Sam's feet with salt water and gauze. This foot-
In church clinics, cleaning ceremonies are common as the feet of homeless people are destroyed by unsuitable shoes, wet socks and days of walking to keep warm.
"I tried to look at washing the homeless feet in the context of Jesus washing the disciples feet.
For me, this has changed the experience from clinical to divine.
When his toes were treated, Sam confided: "No one has ever been so kind to him.
"Before he left in tears, the shelter staff made some phone calls and the local audiology clinic agreed to give Sam two brands --
New hearing aid
It was his Christian faith that eventually led to the beginning of the service of the sports medical doctors for the homeless.
"There is a paragraph in Matthew 25, and Jesus said, if you serve these imprisoned, naked, hungry, homeless people, you are actually serving me.
I was surprised by this, it was always in my mind, "he said while drinking coffee.
"When the Siloam clinic announced, I thought, 'Man, I think I should do that.
Ten years later, it was a decision he did not regret.
"I often think of this, why I love working there so much, why it's more enjoyable to practice the medical association when you're not paid," he said . ".
"There is something very pure about this work.
Why can't I feel this way in my clinic?
I tried to bring the same thing to my clinic.
But when you don't get paid, you feel different.
"This is the story of the Khao shares in public reading.
This is about a quiet young man named Jadon who "came to the clinic" in a traditional gang"
Black hoodie, loose black jersey, black hat.
He's Caucasian, in his early twenties, about six. foot-
Six, long limbs, dazzling eyes.
One thing he wants: burn cream.
"I asked him to show me his burns, and he slowly got up from his chair and began to take off the hoodie," the doctor recalled in chapter 6 . ".
"I was speechless when I saw his torso.
He has a wide range of parts and all
The thickness of his entire chest and abdomen is burning.
Angry red lumps and healed skin grafting give the impression of a highly traumatic reptile. . .
I tried to hide my reaction, but I was stunned by the worst burn I 've ever seen.
"How did this happen?
Jadon reluctantly told me that he was the victim of attempted murder.
Some bad actors tried to trap him in a burning building and kill him.
"Doctors from the suburbs gently massage the burn cream onto the man's damaged skin.
"He reminds me of my son . "
"I rubbed cream on his chest with my hand.
I relieved him.
It's a beautiful feeling as a doctor and a touch of just trying to help others.
His burns were overwhelming.
"He is looking for love from the world of gang relations and drugs, but it does not bring any benefits;
He was almost burned to death.
"It is impossible for those of us who live in the suburbs to be associated with the pain and suffering experienced by those who live in the depths of their hearts --city streets.
But Craton hopes that his book will at least bridge this gap by giving readers a small glimpse of the safe harbor provided by the sanctuary.
"It makes you feel like a day at the clinic. . . .
It's really good to reflect on the cases you see and think about what they teach you.
I don't think we do enough in medicine.
Just, "I have to go to the next case, I have to go to the next case.
More patients than time.
"A patient is from the past of the kallone, his teenage bully, and a few years later, when he walked into the clinic, he gave him a lesson on forgiveness.
"This is the guy who brought me a lot of grief when I was a kid and now he's homeless and looks like a little old man.
He walked on crutches and looked 70 or 75 years old.
"It was that encounter and hundreds of encounters that highlighted the information he wanted to share.
"The homeless are real people, and almost all of them suffer from mental illness and addiction.
Without sufficient resources, our society has basically chosen to allow these things to continue.
While the rescue mission is doing well, we can do better. . . way better.
How do you end homelessness?
Give people a home.
That's it. " doug.
