This is not just an ordinary bag. It's extraordinary not because it's cute, although it is, but because it is from the Women's Imaging Center affiliated with St. Luke's in Twin Falls and it is full of supportive and useful information and neat little things about breast cancer. It is just one of many wonderful services my gram, who has Stage 1 breast cancer, has received.
Her care has been magnificent - what health care should be, what it was meant to be - and we are grateful.
How is it so special? Not only does she have great doctors/specialists, but she receives services from a wide array of professionals. They treat her like a person, like they live the Golden Rule, and the facility is very nice. Last week she met with a financial advisor who told her that because she is still working, they will bill Blue Cross first, then Medicare, and she will have absolutely NO out of pocket expense. She met with a social worker who told her that since gas prices were so high and she'd be driving from Paul to Twin Falls every week day, 33 days in a row, she could get a gas card if she needed.
I am so grateful and give thanks for the care she is receiving and will continue to receive because this is medical care done the right way, not just any way.
It is always wonderful to hear of a story where the system works. And not only works, but works well and above and beyond what is "required". I'm glad your Gram is getting good care! She totally deserves it! (As does everyone!)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I can't speak for her, but I do know it makes me feel better about the whole thing.
