What kind of patients do you see on a daily basis in ambulatory settings?

Acute, emergent and routine

Tongue in cheek...you would think those able to walk in...NOPE. STRETCHERS included. If a human can suffer from it YOU WILL SEE IT

Cataract surgery
Podiatry
Pain management
Endoscopy
General surgery lap chole appendectomy small surgeries
Peds ENT dental
Adults ENT sinus surgeries, nose fxs
Orthopedic small surgeries arthroscopic knee shoulder
A lot of cases really and it can be super busy especially on eye days or pain management days

If it's Family Medicine e everything from cradle to grave@

Depending on the clinic I’m working, internal Medicine, for example, we can many hypertension and Diabetes patients, or if I’m working our Cancer Center, those patients are Breast Cancer, Lung Cancer, etc and many of them will see the doctor prior to receiving their IV CHEMO treatment. We have many specialty clinics.. some even have minor procedures (usually biopsies) done in the exam room and we assist with setting up for those.

Depends on the clinic you’re working with. RNs are utilized in primary care clinics, dermatology offices, oncology outpatient clinics, infusion clinics, ent, etc.

It depends if your ambulatory surgery center is in a hospital or if it’s freestanding, the ambulatory surgery center I worked in was freestanding. And we didn’t do any major operations except for like hernias leg surgeries a lot of orthopedics, eyes surgeries, GYN surgery, including total abdominal hysterectomy, GU surgeries, nothing with the heart, or the brain that was done at the main hospital. We did a lot of pain surgeries, and we were basically close by 8 o’clock at night., and pediatrics we did

That would depend on the type of ambulatory center you work in. The site I worked at was an extension of the hospital and we had a large variety of providers, thus giving us a lot of different types of patients. Sub specialties included dermatology, cardiology, ob/gyn, podiatry, GI, pediatrics, pulmonary, urology. Made for interesting array of clientele

GI procedures, Appendectomy, Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, hernia repair cataract surgery

Daily ambulatory settings allow me to see good patients with good patience. Just a step away are abusers, drunks, drug addicts, murderers, psychos, thieves and the wasted woke. Ambulatory is healthier than non-ambulatory I do believe.
Ambulatory clients in prison systems are good. Ambulatory in public is fun.
Healthy, ambulatory and living are good,
