I also hate the weather in Michigan. (I grew up there, but haven't lived there since the 80's) And I haven't had the flu since I left.

J.K.M.A. LOL...............Craig, there is NO blood involved in participating in this program and you don't have to have a desire at all to go into the medical field. All the program is really, is to help medical students through talking with them and taking them to one doctors appointment with you so that they can better learn how chronic illnesses impact the patient, their lives, and their relationships with their doctors. So, all that is needed, is a willingness to open up and share with a couple of medical students. . . . . Donna . . . . 1.) ANGELS EXIST, but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call them FRIENDS...... 2.) J.K.M.A. Donna, So glad to hear from you. If I still lived within 30 miles of Ann Arbor, I would most certainly participate in this study. The only way students are going to see it first hand, before a doctor patient situation where they have to treat right away, is through a study like this. Arthritis and other autoimmune diseases affect more than just the patient as all of us know from experience. Having doctors who are aware of the familial effects on the patient's wellbeing would be wonderful. Good luck to all of them who do participate. How are you doing, Donna?

Gwen > www.med.umich.edu/medschool/fce > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > 2.) J.K.M.A. I would if I lived there. I'm participating in a study at our local university on the effects of strength training on adults with type II diabetes. I get to work out with a personal trainer 3X a week which is really good as it keeps me going. I don't know if I'd have this discipline all on my own. And I'm learning a lot and so is he, so it's good for all of us :) Carole > > www.med.umich.edu/medschool/fce [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > 2.) J.K.M.A. Yes - I would participate. I think the hardest thing for me are the doctors who have no clue what you're going through. This would be a great program. DeeTee > Carole > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >> >> 2.)

J.K.M.A. what an amazing program. i would definitely paticipate. There isn't a downside that i can see. m Yeah, I think I would. Having worked in a teaching hospital on and off over 20 years, I really saw a change in young doctors' attitudes towrds patients and their life issues. I think it is programs like this that have them learning to take a more holistic approach. And we all know that holistic is important in chronic illness as one life happening can throw everything out of whack. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Change everything. Love & forgive. |
