A Place For Hope: Chapter 4
In Chapter 4, Lynette recalls how she sought a total of eight medical opinions before coming to CTCA. She says she was looking for doctors who would partner with her, respect her decisions, and look at her as an individual. She talks about the CTCA Patient Empowerment MedicineSM model and a patient’s right to be a participant in his/her care.
The segment also features Dr. Edgar Staren, Senior Vice President for Clinical Affairs and Chief Medical Officer, who discusses the importance of humanity in patient care. In addition, Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivor Dode Hammack talks about the whole-person approach used at CTCA. The segment closes with Lynette as she reunites with one of her nurses, Michelle Bregenzer. Lynette praises Michelle and the rest of the nurses at CTCA for their compassion and support: "They’re there when you need to cry, they’re there when you need to laugh," she says.
