Congestive Heart Failure: For Healthcare Providers Open to Recommended Changes Presented 2/6/20

The focus of the research in my Master's program was heart failure. I did a presentation with a local cardiologist on heart failure on February 6th, 2020 as part of my senior project. My CHF research paper is available on academia.edu. It has not been published in a journal, because I am not proposing the sale of a bunch of medications for Big Pharma. I am looking over the quality of the care for this patient population over the past decade. What has worked? What has not worked? How can we improve as healthcare providers? This is an open approach for healthcare providers with open minds to new ideas. It is not meant for 1) closed minds; 2) those not open to changing their practice; 3) those who just wish to condemn new approaches (due to what I call "God Syndrome.")

I welcome discussion, but no condemnation of new ideas will be tolerated as it is indicative of a closed mind, which is unfortunate. It is better to be open-minded, flexible, and pliable, than closed-minded, overly critical, and bitter. If you cannot contribute anything positive, take a look at the condition of your soul. Dr. Nolte taught us very well that, "If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn."
