I'll be out of town

How great that Gary is feeling better! I bet you are much more relaxed knowing that, and are enjoying seeing your friends and going to interesting talks.

How is your student doing? Is she going for her Ph.D.? What is she going to be working on?

Hi all. Looking forward to getting on that plane home tomorrow!!! Gary still says he feels better! Yay!

Yes my student is getting her PhD. She is studying health literacy in older Hispanic women. Specifically why older Hispanic women do not get cervical cancer screening.

That is interesting. Cultural differences and how to work with them is much more important than we think,, especially with the world becoming smaller and smaller.
On a larger scale, it is the way to world peace, I think.

I'm sitting the airport waiting to get on the plane to Austin. Can hardly wait to get home!!!!

Judy, my student is also Hispanic and a women's health nurse practitioner so she has a special and first hand perspective of the problem and possible solutions.

I use a nurse practitioner as my primary care specialist. I love Joanne, and am so grateful that i found her. She is right here in town, takes my insurance, and is fanatic about sending her patients for tests. She has gotten complaints from one of the hospitals because she was having her patients tested too much.

At least she is thorough, although I am not going for the stress test she wants me to go for. I will go back to the cardiologist she sent me to for a checkup though. He did not feel that I needed a stress test. I'm also not taking the BP meds she prescribed, because I don't think I need them. I am taking my pressure at home and will bring the BP monitor to her so she can calibrate it with hers. I love that I can work with her like this. She is also a womens' health practitioner, so I don't have to go to a gyno.

She is so accessible, and I have such faith in her. She keeps doing blood workups on me. I never know what she is looking for. She told me, but I feel that I don't have to worry about it since she is so on top of everything.

If your student is going to set up her own practice, her patients will be as lucky as I am. I say that because she has you as a mentol, and she was given a two year scholarship. Therefore, she is terrific !!!
