Dr. Kisha Pickford Featured in HuffPost: The Worst Things You Can Do in the ER

I’m honored to share that I was recently featured in HuffPost in an article by Julie Kendrick titled “Medical Professionals Say This Is The Absolute Worst Thing You Can Do in the ER.”

Drawing from my years of experience as an acute care nurse practitioner, I spoke about one of the most common, and dangerous, mistakes patients make in the emergency room: withholding critical information or creating unnecessary conflict. In the fast-paced ER setting, even a small delay or missing piece of the story can impact the quality of care and, ultimately, outcomes.

The article highlights how honesty, patience, and respect are just as important as medical expertise in ensuring the best possible results for patients. These same principles carry over into the way I approach my work at Ample Health & Wellness — fostering trust, communication, and whole-person care for the women I support on their wellness and weight loss journeys.
