Page 2 OCTOBER 2013 Medical Clinics of West Virginia Accepting New Patients M edical Clinics of West Virginia, PLLC (MCWV) treats adult patients from the office to the hospital, every step of the way. The medical practice is headed by two board certified area physicians, Dr. Fatima Aziz and Dr. Syed Ashraf. Dr. Aziz leads the office practice, located in St. Albans at 221 Fourth Avenue, while Dr. Ashraf spearheads the care provided to patients should they need hospitalization. Tri-Counties Finest Medical Clinics of West Virginia, PLLC Fatima Z. Aziz-Ashraf, M.D. Syed S. Ashraf, M.D. FHM (Hospital Care) Dustin Adkins, PA-C “Wellness visits are an important part of patient care, and something we encourage for all our patients,” In addition to treating patients with health issues, the office practice offers wellness visits, during which patients receive a check-up and can discuss health concerns before those concerns become more serious. “Wellness visits are an important part of patient care, and something we encourage for all our patients” said Dr. Aziz. “By capturing patient information when they are healthy, we can see the changes that are occurring when our patients need care. It is also a great time to get a flu vaccine.” Medical Clinics is different from many other clinics because Medical Clinics’ professionals see patients in the office and in the hospital. “Having the continuity of care when a patient enters the hospital is valuable in ensuring the best possible treatment for our patients,” said Dr. Ashraf. “Having an independent physician coordinate the many aspects of patient hospital care can be very effective.” The practice recently expanded by adding Dustin Atkins, PA-C, to the staff. Dustin has extensive experience in hospital and clinical settings prior to joining MCWV. Medical Clinics accepts most insurance and is accepting new patients. Patients can call (304) 722-5668 to schedule an appointment.

Since I have my destination already in my mind… I know the direction I need to travel. The same is true about our lives. In your life…do you have a destination? Do you know the direction to travel? The destination you reach in your life is determined by the direction you travel. That seems obvious enough. Yet… all too often it is forgotten when making the moment-by-moment… day-by-day choices that establish the direction of your life. Now you can choose the direction that is easiest or most comfortable. However, it usually does not lead to the destination that is the most desirable. That’s because creating something of value in life involves challenge… effort… sacrifice… and moving out of your comfort zone. Imagine what would happen if you went for a drive in your car, and at every intersection you selected the road with the least amount of traffic. You would probably have a pleasant, comfortable drive, but would have a very difficult time getting anywhere in particular. Traveling through life works in much the same way. If you always take the easiest, most comfortable road, you make it all but impossible to reach a destination of your choosing. The choices you make each moment are what control your direction. And the direction you choose to take and maintain will determine the destination at which you arrive. So if you really get to where you want to go in life… to arrive at your chosen destination… then move at every chance you can in the direction that will take you there.

Here is her story: “I am only 5 feet tall and I developed a thyroid condition that was keeping me from losing weight. I had tried counting calories, keeping food journals, hiring a personal trainer, working out like crazy, other weight loss systems and fad diets. I just couldn’t lose any weight for a over a year! I heard about these new products coming on the market and I wanted to be the first in WV to try them. They are nutritional products with a side effect of weight loss. I got on them, and without diet or exercise, I dropped 4 pounds in 2 days, 7 pounds in 7 days, and 22 pounds and 5.5 inches off my waist in the first 8 weeks! Since then, I have lost more inches and pounds and am now into a size 5 junior jeans! This has truly changed my life because I am in total control of my weight now and I am not on a diet. I have also been able to build a part- time income outside of my law firm by referring others and helping them get great results. I don’t retail, stock or ship products, but I simply refer others, just like I always have to a good movie or restaurant! I have never seen such a healthy, stable, lucrative way to help others. This is truly changing lives and it is something that anyone can do without sacrificing the foods you love!” Just say NO to drugs, counting calories, liquid diets, chemicals, etc. Newly Added Boutique Area!

Be specific to serve the divine opportunities before your eyes, the people. Stoop In Pray And Pray Every Day - make time before you go to sleep everyday to have an intimate time of prayer with your Heavenly Father. Admire Him, Adore Him, Praise Him, Confess your sin and selfishness, hurt and harm, Thank Him for more than you can imagine and Ask, Seek and Knock. Stand firm against the schemes of the enemy - Fight not against people, flesh and blood, but against principalities and demonic forces that may seem invisible but are evident. Fight for your God, Fight for your Family, Fight for your Friends, Fight for your Church and for your Integrity. Share hope, love, passion and purpose - Give away Grace like it was candy and forgive quickly and often. Share a vision and dream that will save not only your family but their family to come.

Thomas T here is a book by that same title – Think Better – by Tim Hurson, who writes about brainstorming tools that will empower you to generate, organize, and process ideas. Whether you are a manager or an artist, whether you work alone or in a group, you will think better and do better by learning to unlock your creative intelligence – and unblock your thinking. To create the future, you first must be able to imagine it. Productive thinking is a way to help you do that. More than anything, productive thinking is an attitude that will let you look at problems and convert them into opportunities. The goal at the end of a disciplined brainstorming process, is to have a concrete action plan, complete with timelines and deadlines. Tim Hurson has developed a model consisting of six interlocking steps 1) What’s going on? Explore and truly understand the challenge. 2) What’s success? Envision the ideal outcome and establish success criteria. 3) What’s the question? Pinpoint the real problem or opportunity. 4) Generate answers. List many possible solutions. 5) Forge the solution. Decide which solution is best. Then make it better. 6) Align resources. Create an action plan. Think Better – your company’s future depends on it – and so does yours. This article is a series of monthly educational pieces developed for Tri Counties Finest; the author – Duane B. Thomas – has been a College instructor for more than fifteen years at Marshall University and other various institutions too.
