Re: speaking to high students


You might want to expand on the social impact of chronic disease .....
dating/marriage
employment/disability
insurance eligibility/vs non-eligible
family support
role reversal   carepartner/provider
medication costs
surgery......trial vs. insurance paid vs. out of pocket
finding a physician who cares
driving
independent living vs. multi-generational
crisis management
spiral of emotional dealing with disease/loss
financial impact self/society
political impact
all of these things happen besides the symptoms of PD.....and happen with
more than one illnesss......the NOT ME attitude that we all had.

What if the life you had planned were cut short.....and you survived? Coping.
