Picture The Doctor

[Berk Boyraz]

Be that as it may, you don't need to get your hopes up. Sometimes pictures can be restored using damaged photo repair software. Here are the most common and affordable ways to restore corrupted and truncated digital photos.

The program is very simple and intuitive- even for inexperienced users. The photo repair software basically works via two operating keys - 'Add files' and 'Start Rescuе'. Picture Doctor finds algorithms to recover a picture/s automatically. You just have to wait for the operation to complete.

Also, inaccessible JPEG files may be successfully opened using another file format. For example, you can try to transform JPEG to JPG. It's actually the same format but spelled differently. However, some photo viewers recognize only three extension letters, so it may help. Open the file with editing software that supports the extension and select 'File', then 'Save as'. Here, choose JPEG and save it. You can also try repair corrupted jpeg files for free by converting into PSD format using a free online converter.

Keep in mind, there might just be a program error. So, try to open the damaged photo/s using another type of image viewer like Microsoft Paint. If that doesn't work, we recommend you try to open the image using a web browser.

Try to access the damaged JPEG file after running CHKDSK. This fixes problems caused by bad sectors on the drive. Follow these steps to execute CHKDSK photo recovery software:
1. Connect a memory card with JPEG files to your computer.
2. Press Windows + 'R' key, type 'CMD' and press OK.
3. Enter CHKDSK (drive letter) / f in the command window, for example, 'CHKDSK h:/f'.
4. After the process is complete, restart your computer and try to access the JPEG files again.

Here is another method to repair a damaged JPEG file using the command-line (CMD):
1. Go to the Windows start button, search 'CMD' and run it as an administrator with the help of a right-click.
2. Enter 'sfc' or 'scan' in the command prompt and press 'Enter'.
3. Remember, it takes time to scan and repair damaged images in the system.
4. Then, reboot the computer.

I have a problem with a thumbnail that has been lingering for months now and I finally decided to make an appointment with a dermatologist. I called, made the appointment, filled out the paperwork, etc. I showed up for the appointment and all was normal, scanned my drivers license, took my co-pay and confirmed my medical history. They called my name and took me back to the room and the assistant asked to take a front and side picture of my face. I noticed a screen on the wall showing before/after shots of patients facial problems so I told the assistant that I was there for my thumb not any facial issues and she said it was for their records. I said I didn't mind if she took a picture of my thumb but that I didn't see any reason to take pictures of my face. Her tone immediately changed and she quickly finished the interview and left the room. A few minutes later a women walked in and introduced herself as the office manager and explained to me that it was their policy to take pictures of patients for "security reasons" and that I would be refused service if I did not comply. I politely told her I understand she has to follow her policies and asked for a refund of my co-pay which she provided then I left the office. Can a doctor legally do this? Is this a violation of HIPAA? If so where would I file a complaint?

(a) Standard. A covered entity or business associate may not use or disclose protected health information, except as permitted or required by this subpart or by subpart C of part 160 of this subchapter.

(2) Relates to the past, present, or future physical or mental health or condition of an individual; the provision of health care to an individual; or the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to an individual.

I once was able to speak directly with an HHS attorney. She stated that HHS would consider any information that connected patients to a specific doctor would be considered to be PHI. IOW, if others could reasonably infer that you were getting treatment from that doctor, then yes, that would be a breach of PHI. In addition, the doctor would also be in violation of HIPAA for not self-reporting the breach.

Regarding being 'ejected' - the question is - is a doctor required to treat all persons who request treatment? The answer is no. Doctors can decide to not take pretty much anyone, even for arbitrary reasons.

Thank you so much for your much needed work. The health care system we all work in is so productivity and bottom line oriented that there is no support for taking the time to be human with our patients. It is a daily challenge to be positive with our patients, but even more, with ourselves.

I agree with you that most people are basically good. But I would like to shed light on some issues, so that hopefully a few people will read this and, perhaps, come to a better understanding of what it really means to become and be a physician.

Nearly all physicians go into medical school healthy. During medical school and residency, depression and mental illness quadruples and 50% of students and residents are suicidal at some point in their training.

Your comment has made it clear that in fact you are exactly the kind of person the medical profession needs. This is an old post , but still, if you should ever consider becoming a doctor or nurse you have all the basics already. The rest is just academics. Exhausting , draining, academics but you heart will get you through that or any challenges you will encounter whatever path you choose !
Thanks for the uplifting comment. Btw, I am a nurse.

You really got it right and saying it very eloquently. I hope patients and their significant others can see and understand the dedication doctors give to their patients and that doctors are also people; they are human, have feelings, empathy and the desire to give the best that they can to the needs of their patients and that like every human being can also be at their wits end after a long day at the ER or the wards.

Thanks for taking the time to write your post. I would recommend it to every young, or older physician. ER medicine is particularly difficult in that respect, as well as family medicine where one builds trust with a family..

I, too, am searching for Dr. Jan-Eric Esway. He did an amazing job of reconstructing my ruptured Achilles tendon and is no longer at the same medical practice. He was the most compassionate doctor and so knowledgeable. I am hoping he is still in practice. If so, I would like to schedule an appointment with him. Would you be able to get this to him and hopefully I will hear back with information as to where he is now practicing?

Coming from a professional nurse of 23 years that was very well put. I think your profession as well as mine is one that has the most demands and expectation with not enough appreciation. #wearenotrobots..Thanks for ALL you do.

The field is extremely difficult and if you dare speak up you will be jobless. I had to report a nurse once who left my patient without her pain meds for 9 days. My patient suffered extreme pain for 9 days without cause. This nurse was a danger to the patients. Guess who got the sack? I guess they were afraid I would go to the State Board. I never intended to do that I just wanted her disciplined. I was relieved to hear she was gone from that nursing home after a time by friends. I have no regrets for speaking up. I can not just sit there and watch someone literally torture a patient.

Long ago I worked for a surgeon known around the World. He would travel around the World to speak and teach. Patients would come from around the World to be treated. One day I asked him why he stopped treating cancer patients. He said that when he did surgery, he could no longer see well due to all his tears, he did not want to work without a clear field. He said it pained him so much when he would be eye to eye with the cancer that was eating at his patient. I had thought he was quite the bully, but it turns out that was his false exterior. He held the pain inside, but he could not hide the tears when wearing laser goggles to catch those tears. I had new respect for him.

I have an ongoing thank you card file that is a permanent fixture in my desk drawer. Started it 20+ yrs ago and still need to dip in there and re-read some of the sentiments on those days when I just need a little reminder!

In addition to giving the news that a family member has died I have an idea for another article you can write. How does a doctor tell someone and their family that the patient has a terminal illness and will likely die in only months?

The individual who knows how to sleep in the right mode, is the person who can face tragedies, without going through crisis(Falling apart).SLEEP RIGHT is the way to handle crisis and learn for it.SLEEP RIGHT is essential for life. The three pillars of life are: Eat Right, Sleep Right, Exercise Right.

You can imagine how I felt. This hospital and its personnel ruined my own reputation. I was just one more Welfare patient to them. I had no recourse. This led to my fleeing the USA last May, 2014, with my dog and a few suitcases, never to see my loved ones again.

I recently learned of Dr. Wible(you) and the incredible bravery shown in exposing the pain and disillusionment we experience everyday, alongside the joy and privilege of hoping and many times succeeding to improve the lives of our patients. Your message cannot be spread fast enough: every day I see another example of a physician succumbing to compassion fatigue. They are overcome with the regulations, the unrealistic expectations, the belief that our lives are easy and elite, when in realty days go by that we do not eat a meal siting down or sleep more than four uninterrupted hours or even take a shower.

I am, or should I say, I Was, one of the first people to complain about the long wait, or the lack of compassion, or bedside manner. I admit, I never stop to think what he/she is dealing with behind another curtain or door., but only what I or my loved one is enduring at the moment. As I do still think that some dr.s could show a little more empathy, I do appreciate this article. It will actually make me stop and think from now before blowing a fuse. Thank you
