Hey there Ada, Bravo on teaching the upcoming doctors a very important thing. You go girl. I am behind on everything and don't know what has happened to you, I will google the Still's.
You have all my thoughts on the heart issue and everything else also. Many hugs

Hi, Ada.
You deserve to feel good about what you did yesterday. No, I don't think that's weird to compare it to a job setting. If you could do that every day, it may well be one of the most important jobs you do in your life!
Love & Hugs,
Sheila
Your a learning experience for all of us.
I feel good about what I did yesterday, I feel like I had a purpose, finally. I haven't worked for over 9 months, now it is a little weird to compare yesterday to a job setting but if I could do that everyday and be used as a teaching tool for students, I would jump on that ship everyday. Everyone, thank you for your comments and encouragement. It means the world to me.
Love to All,
Ada
I'm sorry the dr found a problem, but just think, if you hadn't done this educational thing with these students, who knows how bad your heart might have gotten before your regular dr found it.So maybe this is a blessing in disguise, and treat it before it gets worse. Take care of yourself. Isn't it nice to see a dr who takes time to really listen to her patients!....Maggie
Great job teaching the students Ada!! Sounds like they learned a lot.
I too am concerned over your EKG and do please keep us updated. It does sound though like you lucked out with a great Doc. For that I am so thankful.

It's nice that you seemed to get some satisfaction through this as well. Let's hope this turns out to be like a Pay it Forward occurrence, and this helps many others in the future.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about the heart problem - I didn't know that Still's damaged the heart too - more issues to take care of.
It does sound like you have a good doctor and that is wonderful. At least someone is listening and caring. Doesn't surpise me that the students missed so much - depression - well anyone would be depressed being in pain and an illness that makes like such a challenge. Hang in there.
Mercy.
I am not pleased that you would have anything wrong that would warrant a trip to the doctor.
That being said, I am so glad that you got in to see this doctor, and that students learned from you. That is a positive, to have someone LISTEN to patients.
Good luck with the cardiologist!

Hi, Ada.
Hon, I'm so proud of you!!!! I believe you have made an impact on at least a few, future doctors.
But, I am worried along with you, about you EKG results. Please keep us posted, we worry about you.
Hugs,
Sheila
Hi Ada!
First thing I wanted to ask is, When do you to the cardiologist? That must be scary, and I'm sorry that on top of everything else you're dealing with that this is happening...
I am very happy for you, however, regarding the rest of your post....I, for one, would like to thank you for being a part in helping to educate young doctor's on the patient's perspective. I certainly would love an opportunity like that! Good for you!! :)
Let me know about the cardiologist thing...I really hope the appointment is soon!
HUGS Ada!

Hi Ada,
Thank you for telling those student doctors about the depression diagnosis. I hope they all listened and will remember that when they are practicing doctors.
Please keep us posted on your heart. Thanks again for going and "educating" the future doctors!!
