Oklahoma is featured in a new documentary called "Behind the Mask" that details the stories of healthcare professionals, frontline workers, caregivers and patients throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
A new study was conducted by Healthcare Inc. and has ranked Oklahoma as the worst state in the Nation for senior healthcare. The report lists the states from best to worst and uses factors like medical costs, doctors per capita, prescription costs, life expectancy, retirement facilities and other senior medical related elements to compile the list and rank the states.
Earlier this week on Tuesday (12-08-20) Mayor Stan Booker along with several community leaders and the Lawton City Council signed a proclamation and pledge declaring today (12-11-20) officially "Healthcare Heroes Day" in Lawton, Fort Sill.
The City of Lawton is planning to thank, recognize and honor all of our healthcare professionals tomorrow afternoon (12-08-20) at the City Council meeting at 2:00pm CST. Mayor Stan Booker and community leaders will be signing a special "Healthcare Heroes" proclamation and pledge.
Kids really do say the darnedest things! Watch what happens when this doctor tries to remove a leg cast from his young patent. If you've ever had a cast removed you know first hand how good it feels when it comes off. So in this kid's defense I would would have said, better yet, have the same thing!
Taking a child to the doctor is very traumatizing experience for everyone involved, especially when it comes time to getting shots. This doctor, though, somehow makes it fun.
Nobody likes going to the doctor, but this child's natural fear response transforms into gales of laughter when the doctor begins working in a ticklish area.
During a visit to the doctor, we almost always grab a waiting-room magazine to take our mind off what's to come. But health officials say those very periodicals could pose a health risk and actually make people sick, particularly if they're left out for a lengthy period of time and handled by multitudes of people.
