TALK
tonight i give a talk to the group of family physicians that i use
to work with before i retired
its the first time ive seen most of them since i left almost a
year ago
the talk will be telling my story about what happened to me and
using it as a vehicle to talk about alzheimers disease
those of you who know me well know that i hate to get in front
of a group to talk
but
when you know the subject well and feel like you know as much
or more than the people you talk to then talking to a group
doesnt bother me any more
my points tonight will be
that alzheimers will be a primary care disease soon as the numbers
of new cases will be too great for specialists to handle them all
that early diagnosis and early treatment is important to change the angle
of decline of this disease
how to evaluate a patient for alzheimers disease
what new biomarkers are/will available to use in these evaluations
what treatments are available and will be available in the future
what can be done to prevent or delay the onset of this terrible
disease
then to remind them to not forget the caretaker
more in am on how this talk went
later this week an interview with a local metropolitan newspaper,
an interview with a local dallas tv station, the 6 month follow up
with the adni study in dallas then our annual trip to lost maples
more on all this later
ANDY

talk on things we probably noticed but didnt think about
hell be missed
FOOTBALL

hogs won sorry old ball coach
horns just dominated the raiders

You will do great with your talk. I am so glad you will be able to share a perspective that they may not know or understand. You will be helping others and that is a gift to the world.
ReplyDeleteI agree on Andy. I remember as a kid watching his commentary with my Grandparents and them talking and laughing after he was done. Then when I got married, we enjoyed watching him talk about things most people wanted to ignore. They world has lost a great, talented icon.
