Want to hear a happy inspiring 🧵 from oncology clinic? A story of perseverance and grit?
I saw a young woman this month in f/u that I first met almost 7 years ago...
At that time, she was homeless. Living in shelters night to night homeless....not even a friend to stay with.
Single. Raising a teenager in the shelters with her!
Had a large node positive HER-2 positive cancer. Had been there for some months with no way to seek care.
Yes, I had to give her chemo while she was in a shelter, without a cell phone. Praying she didn't get a fever, praying she could show up for her appointments.
We got her Medicaid insurance, managed to work with social workers and started getting back on track.
For any of you that haven't read the full transcript of Todd Beamer's call from United flight 93 ✈️ on #September11.
Didn't take being a 👮♂️ or 👨🚒 to be a hero that day. Nope. Sure didn't. There were many heroes.
Todd: Hello… Operator…listen to me…I can’t speak very loud. – This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco.. We have a situation here….Our plane has been hijacked…..can you understand me?
Lisa: (exhaling a deep breath to herself) I understand…
Can the hijackers see you talking on the phone?
Todd: No
Lisa: Can you tell me how many hijackers are on the plane?
Todd: There are three that we know of.
Lisa: Can you see any weapons? What kind of weapons do they have?
Todd: Yes…. they don’t have guns….they have knives
