Khorn Phearoum MD invited to speak at the 12th Congress of the World Federation of Societies of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine
Mercy Medical Center successfully treated a newly diagnosed patient in severe diabetic ketoacidosis. Prior to coming to MMC the patient spent 2 days in a local intensive care unit where the medical staff apparently did not recognized the severity of her condition. Based upon this success, a group of missionaries invited Dr Phearoum to present the case at the large international meeting in Seoul, Korea focused on critical care. In the course of the meeting he met the chairman of the critical care department from Mayo-Clinic Arizona. They encouraged each other particularly when the Mayo physician offered to help find a way to further Phearoum’s training.
Dr. Phearoum has gained much during his training at MMC. Using his leadership skills with his peers they hope in the future to join together in a medical practice that benefit patients from all walks of life. As he explores the future, pray that he and his peers will stay focused on a gospel centered medical practice.
