Have you ever had the kind of fun, light-hearted doctor that we see on TV? <\/p>\nHave you ever had the kind of fun, light-hearted doctor that we see on TV? <\/p>\n
You know, the one that jokes about while also being caring, which always makes the visit pleasurable.<\/p>\n
I guess to be that kind of doctor, the job also has to be fun. And a new method developed to treat high blood pressure does just that. It\u2019s fun for both the physician and patient. <\/p>\n
It is much more efficient than traditional methods.<\/p>\n
In the study from the Veteran\u2019s Affairs Boston Healthcare System and Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, 111 new physicians were either assigned to read traditional material or a fun phone application game to learn to treat high blood pressure.<\/p>\n
Then they were sent out on a mission to help people manage their blood pressure.<\/p>\n
The traditional learning group took 148 days on average to get their patient\u2019s blood pressure under control. Whereas the computer game group did it in 142 days on average.<\/p>\n
The bad news is that both groups, of course, used dangerous blood pressure medications with serious side effects to manage their patient\u2019s conditions. I hope that soon there will be an educational game that teaches doctors to control blood pressure using natural methods.<\/p>\n
