Gold Humanism Honor Society
Student of the Month
June, 2022 - GHHS June Student of the Month is Arthur Rezayev
Arty is an example of humanism in medicine through his selflessness, compassion, and dedication to patient care. During his time on wards, Arty met a patient without insurance and stayed in touch with them over the course of the next week. He walked them through the process of applying for Medicaid, ensuring that hospital stays would not be so costly to the patient in the future. In another example, a patient was distraught that her cultures grew MRSA. Arty went in on his day off to comfort the patient and explain to her that it was a common infection with antibiotics available for treatment. The patient was thankful that Arty took extra time to sit down with her and explain things in more detail. During a rotation in Monroe, Arty went back to a patient’s room and spent another hour talking with a patient because she had just been diagnosed with heart failure at the age of 50. Many of the patient’s family members had passed due to heart failure at that age, so this diagnosis understandably shocked and upset her. Arty was able to be a familiar face and offer comfort during this time. Arty is always thorough and takes the time to ensure that patients understand their medical conditions, and he has consistently demonstrated a patient-centered and empathetic approach to medicine. These are just a few examples of how Arty goes above and beyond for his patients.
