I do hope you’ll let all of us know what your new blog will be.

You definitely earned that award, as you go forward, may you always remember to keep that side of medicine present in your life and in your treatment of patients.
I was touched by knowing you here in Boston at FPMM and know that as you move on you will continue to change the world in your own small way each day.
Bon Voyage!

I wish this were a more widely known skill. Even better is the idea that a group can induce a deeper state of relaxation. Makes me smile. (I guess a group can create a deeper state of stress too…)

Thank you for doing that and I’m sure you will know what to say (in the future) if/when you deal with a family with epilepsy. Thanks for sharing.

I had to read it for grad school where we discussed the cultural issues surrounding the interactions between the family and the medical community. It is clear that everyone was trying to do what was best in their minds but they couldn’t communicate well enough. It is really eye opening to think about it but that probably happens everyday at every hospital.

Kudos to you for speaking out and for challenging the notions that people have. I think that most medical conditions are stigmatized unfairly.
