Methodist Mansfield Medical Center is getting rave reviews
about a convenient service for emergency patients that is both
easy to use andmore comfortable for you.
You just check in at
here you’ll receive an
assigned treatment time. Then arrive at the Methodist Mansfield
emergency department (ED) 15 minutes before that time.
“Once you arrive, you have our commitment to see you
promptly,” says Ketan Trivedi, MD, EDmedical director and
emergency medicine physician at Methodist Mansfield. “You
still get the care you need but don’t have long wait times in the
ED. Instead, you can rest in the comfort of your own home. We
consider that a win-win.”

room, I received treatment, and I went home to recover. It was perfect, and they took good care of me!”

Is your
summer
being
stolen?
Pins and posts, tweets and tags — social media offers a number of ways
to share slices of your life with others.
But for some people, social media has become a place to compare
life experiences rather than celebrate them. They may perceive that they
are somehow missing out on greater life events and better fortunes.
Psychologists call it the fear of missing out.
If this problem starts creeping into your summer, remember to:

Turn off your smartphone.
Have genuine face-to-face time with friends
and family and make some new summer memories.
