Description
Dr. Amy Riek is a faculty member in the Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism & Lipid Research. Her story dealt with how connections helped her manage a cancer diagnosis.
Excerpt:
...The words spoken softly by my husband. Below me a familiar wheeled stool. My stool. In my exam room in my clinic. But I was a patient now. It took a beat for me to realize, to awkwardly shift with my pregnant belly to the other chair. How could my life have become such a nightmare? But at the same time, why not me?..
