The You Tube channel of Louis Kraml, CEO at Bingham Memorial Hospital in Idaho is providing the Internet users a series of useful and interesting articles, medical news and several testimonials related to the continuously developing activity of the hospital he has been successfully managing for several years now.

Louis Kraml

The very first of the short movies that can be watched on Mr. Kraml’s YouTube channel will bring relief and hope for those of us that suffer from back pain. In a medical procedure that lasts for about 30 minutes, the problem is solved due to the knowledge, professional performance and the new technology that is available now in the hospital. Many people that suffered from this condition have already been treated. Doctors from Minnesota came to Bingham Memorial Hospital to teach doctors to do the surgery in a safe and rapid manner.

Mr. Kraml states that due to this new procedure, back pain and aches should no longer represent a problem to any of the Citizens living in eastern Idaho. The doctor in the movie you can watch on the You Tube channel of Louis Kraml offers also details regarding the actual procedure: cement is inserted into the damaged vertebra of the aching patient. The even better news is that doctors do not use general anesthesia on the operated patients. The patient is conscientious sedated, so he takes part in the medical procedure that lasts only half an hour.

Louis Kraml says that the surgery has showed to be a great success with older persons that have fallen from their beds or down the stairs, so they have some of their vertebras fractured. Since the surgery is not largely invasive, it reduces considerably the back pain that people suffer from. As the patients declare, the recovery after the medical intervention is short and people can get back to their normal lives in no time.

According to Louis Kraml, the new technology is already available at Bingham Memorial Hospital, so the patients can benefit from the great inventions that can ease and improve considerably their lives right now. As a consequence, more and more people can be treated, cured and sent back to their homes quickly.

Medtronic is the name of the company that has brought the training to the hospital administered by Louis Kraml. Most times, the doctors do not have the time to go around the world and attend all sorts of seminars and workshops, so this opportunity was warmly welcomed by all the doctors at Bingham Memorial Hospital. Due to Medtronic’s involvement, doctors and physicians have had the opportunity to learn about the new technologies and then start to practice it. In fact, the training session was open for doctors from all eastern Idaho.

The You Tube channel of Mr. Louis Kraml is also offering the possibility of watching a short movie in which dr. Julia McGee is presenting several tips for people that suffer from dry skin problems. As the weather in Idaho is generally dry, this has an impact on people’s skin as well.

As the doctor will reveal unto us, the first step would be to take a warm bath, not a hot one. Why? Because hot water is drying the skin. Then, it is important to use a mild soap that has no dyes and fragrances, which are sometimes responsible for drying the skin. Do not scrub your skin every time you are in the shower, as this way the healthy and needed oil of your skin will simply be removed.

When you step out of the shower, pat dry instead of strongly rubbing your skin, and then gently apply some moisturizing product on your skin, while it is still damp. Creams are oil based and thus will add oil to the skin.

According to the Mr. Kraml, if you have cracked hands try and avoid contact with any chemicals. When you need to clean the house or if your job requires you to handle such substances, wear a pair of gloves just to protect yourself.

The majority of detergents have chemicals and preservatives in them, and they negatively impact your skin. A good, wise option would be to get detergents that are free of those, says dr. Julia McGee from Bingham Memorial Hospital, Idaho in one of the movies uploaded on the official Louis Kraml You Tube channel. A visit at the dermatologist would be necessary if, even though you do follow all these pieces of advice, you still experience red skin, cracks, crusts and pain associated to your dry skin.

Another short movie on the Louis Kraml You Tube channel discusses skin cancer prevention. Due to the high rate of skin cancer in Idaho, a special attention is given to prevention. The high altitude makes the UV rays much more powerful, and thus they have a more negative impact on people’s skin. It is true that many people love to be active, spending a lot of time outside, in the sun.

The first step in skin cancer prevention would be to wear a sun block with a SPF factor of at least 30, if not higher. The sun block should contain Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide, which are UV blockers that will actually defend the skin. In addition to this, examine your skin at least once a month and notice any changes that could appear. Look for any asymmetry of any recent mole that has appeared on your skin, the possible irregular border, the color, diameter and evolution in time. These are important factors that need to be carefully observed in order to prevent skin cancer.

Another short interesting video material that can be watched on Louis Kraml’s You Tube channel is related to sport injuries prevention and is presented by athletic trainer Blair Rhodehouse from Bingham Memorial Hospital. If you practice any sports, wearing fit sport equipment is essential. Then it is very important to properly follow a warm up session, as well as a cool down session. Muscles should be properly warmed up, in order to sustain the sport activity that you intend to perform.

Careful attention should be given also to cooling down, a short period of time when you let your body relax and calm down after the sport session. Any minor problem that you encounter should be examined by an athletic trainer, so that it does not evolve into something that will require a more detailed and long treatment. Mr. Kraml announces that the Bumps and Bruises Clinic is open and functional at Bingham Memorial Hospital every Saturday.

Bingham Memorial Hospital is the fifth largest employer in Bingham County, in Idaho, a wonderful hospital that is serving more than 110,000 patients every year. During the last 14 years, as Mr. Louis Kraml, CEO of Bingham Memorial Hospital states, the hospital has purchased new technology and has hired the best doctors that could be found. Five years ago the hospital became a 501(c)3 organization and the hospital was also designated to be a critical access hospital as well.

What is indeed tremendous is the fact that all profits are reinvested in the hospital, and so patients the coming every day benefit from higher and higher quality medical services.

The fifth of the movies uploaded on the Louis Kraml Channel presents the numerous advantages working as a doctor at Bingham Memorial Hospital provides. Mr. Kraml is currently running a doctor hiring campaign, so if you are a doctor you should check it now. Here is the link to the official Louis Kraml YouTube channel:
