Michael Norville
Georgetown,IN
Summary
Versatile, Board-certified, dependable, compassionate Hospitalist skilled at managing care for inpatient Med-Surg and ICU level patients with wide-ranging medical conditions. Able to regularly manage entire Med-Surg unit and ICU on a daily basis, as well as accepting patients via transfer, ER admissions, and discharging patients from both units. I provide excellent care with empathy and compassion to patients ranging from those admitted under observation to patients with life threatening disease processes requiring ICU care, end of life care, or need of transfer to higher level of care outside of our facility. I provide excellent patient relations via direct discussion with patients and families. Working in a small community hospital with limited resources has allowed me to grow and adapt professionally. I comfortably facilitate end of life care discussions and convert patients to Hosparus care. I manage rapid responses, code blues and other emergent situations. I am skilled with intubation and ventilator management. I regularly coordinated care with physicians of numerous specialties. I maintain a great working relationship with administration while always advocating for patient care.
