A Quiet Way of Dealing 
About two years ago, I was fortunate to develop a relationship with a woman who had a special way - quiet, gentle, dignified - of handling her disease. At 66, she had been diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia.
She never said she was scared or upset or angry. She was appreciative of everything I did. When the physician's team came in, she fooled them with her sweet smile and upbeat attitude. It almost was worthy of some kind of perverse Oscar award for "Best Performance in a Terminally Ill Role."
But I could see through the act to the deep pain and hurt of the "actress" lying in bed; someone who was struggling to come to terms with the fact that as recently as a month prior she was enjoying a vibrant life with her husband and friends back home.

 The Health Insurance Marketplace open enrollment launch on October 1, 2013 spurred discussion about the influx of newly insured patients and the shortage of primary care professionals. Nursing@Simmons, an online Master of Science in Nursing program for aspiring Family Nurse Practitioners, created an infographic to illustrate the state of primary and preventive health care in the U.S. and the role nursing professionals hold. This infographic provides a snapshot of what has happened in the years since the Affordable Care Act was conceptualized and enacted, in addition to showing how nurse practitioners are contributing to primary care. Check out the infographic here. |
