Description
Dr. Katherine Holzem is faculty in the Department of Surgery. She shared a personal story about working through hardships, and that it's okay to not be okay. (Note: content includes mention of suicide)
Excerpt:
“April 2, 2011, coincidentally my brother Kyle’s 18th birthday, I married my husband at the MoBot. It was perfect, and in classic XXXX-family style, we found ourselves at Pin-up Bowl until 3am, with my dad fiercely defending my right to take one last turn at closing time in my wedding dress. Just days later, I broke out in this terrible rash. This didn’t just happen in a vacuum. My GI system had been weird for years, but it had gotten noticeably worse leading up to the wedding. I got scoped, and my GI system was littered with immune cells.”
