To start quite a busy day, we met with Liz Fischer, who we will get to visit next week. She touched on how she and her husband, Ben Fischer, understand the difficulties around the continuously rising cost of medicine for many patients, and how they try to combat that. After this, I, unfortunately, was unable to meet with Dr. Limkakeng but could make it to the meeting with Josh Waynick, a physician’s assistant. It was truly fascinating to see how connected a physician’s assistant is with other people. Lastly, Dr. Lawal spoke on heartburn. Having had heartburn in the past, I was intrigued to learn that there are many different ways to decrease the risk of getting heartburn, such as not eating too close to when you fall asleep, and managing your meals better. Hearing this from a certified gastroenterologist has really made me consider changing my habits to eliminate future diseases/problems.
