We interviewed Mike Riley during the Covid pandemic. Let’s take another look at the segment and see how things have changed.
Mike has been in the healthcare community for over 30 years, first as a certified nursing assistant and then as a registered nurse. He started working at Novant Health in 1999 and soon became a Clinical Coordinator, House Supervisor, Nurse Manager, and Director of Nursing.
I was fortunate enough to be asked to be on The Lake Norman Advisory Council to Support Families and patients team members of Novant Health, Huntersville Medical Center. My Nonprofit, Little Smiles, wanted to help the Martin Truex Foundation Emergency Ward. They have added to our mission: Working through the nurses to get the kids what they need while in the hospital to put a Huge Smile on Sweet Little Faces.
Every child that enters the doors of the emergency ward receives a gift bag with appropriate aged toys. It helps take the edge off of entering a hospital. Siblings get one as well.
Wash your hands. This is nothing new; it’s just common sense.
When should you go to the ER, Urgent Care, or Your Physician?
Go to the ER if you feel you have broken a bone, have trouble breathing, or just become violently sick.
Go to Urgent Care if you need stitches or have a fever of 101 or above.
If you have been sick for a few days and know you need attention, visit your physician. If it is an emergency, they will send you to the ER.
