Lovely Video by the American Stroke Foundation sent by our I-Shiner, ANAND on how to deal with Stroke Patients. All Volunteers must view this .

1. Today the first volunteer-staff meeting of the I-Shine Project was held. It was great to see the volunteers speaking face to face with the Incharge of the Medical Records Department, Mr.Anthony. The Volunteers ( 3-5 I-Shiners), headed by ANAND was manning the Medical records desk. The tasks mainly involved filling Admission forms, clarifying doubts and directing patients to their respective doctors. This is a vital catalyst to smoothen the flow of patients in the hospital. Mr.ANTHONY was very helpful in understanding the needs of the volunteers and together, the I-shiners and the MRD staffs are making the hospital registration process more efficient. Currently, I-Shiner DHANUSH has been selected to co-ordinate the MRD sector.
   
2. I-shiner ASHFAAQ has started shooting for the small ad that we intend to make for the I-Shine Project. It does not seem as easy as we expected as a lot of co-ordination is expected. Nevertheless, good footage has been acquired. Script is being processed by JASON

• Right now we have two I-Shiners, Mrs Vyjayanthi & Dr.Shinde who are interested and undergoing curses in counseling. We could have them do psychological profiling and suggest forms of therapy which can be incorporated in recreational therapies. Dr. Shinde is ready to do this every Tuesday 2pm onwards.
• We received a new volunteer , Mr. Balu, who is a retired bank Manager. He would be great in managing the Medical Records section(MRD) in the OPD.
  
• We started to form a TIME SCHEDULE for all the volunteers. Looking good and looks like MRD is being sorted out.
• Spoke to the clinicla psychologist of St.Martha's about allowing postings of counseling students to be at the stroke rehab .
  

Great going ANAND !!
