Sarah Wood, RN
- Sarah Wood is a Registered Nurse and has worked as a Clinical Research Assistant at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and for Dr. Gafford at Lubbock Integrative Medicine
- Sarah’s journey into healthcare started when she was 14 years old and had to offer first aid after an accidental gunshot wound to save the life of her stepmother. At that moment she decided she wanted to do everything to always know what to do to help people and to have the most updated knowledge to give the best care possible.
- Her experience with research started at the Clinical Research Institute at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. She was working with some very principal investigators that came up with original ideas based on their clinical practice of how to improve the lives of their patients and how to improve their care. Sarah would help them develop their studies, carry out their studies, and take care of their patients during the studies.
- When her husband went through some health challenges, Sarah sought out a less stressful job and started working with Dr. Gafford, treating patients with Traditional Chinese Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine.
- As an RN Sarah is a health coach which is a term that is thrown around a lot. This episode discusses what makes a good health coach and how to choose the one that is the best fit for your situation.
- As someone who has worked in both western and eastern medicine and has a well rounded background in what is considered alternative and also traditional medicine, Sarah shares her opinion on why there is often a lack of understanding and cooperation between the different specialties and what to do to break down this divide.
- Sarah gives a plea to researchers to publish their findings regardless of whether it supports their hypothesis or not in the spirit of moving science forward and avoiding to repeat the same mistakes.This is important because it not only improves patient care, but it improves the overall knowledge that your practitioners have out there for taking care of their patients.
- There are different ways to design research studies and Sarah discusses how to design a study in a manner that helps people rather than just pushing profits for the sponsors of the study.
- Sinus issues are something that has plagued Sarah. She found out her sinus infection was really a “pain in the neck”! It is wonderful to have it gone and feel better,
