In the Spring of 2020, I was diagnosed with a rare condition called Perthes This came along with a couple big surgeries at the Shriner's Hospital in Spokane Washington This diagnosis has had a huge impact on my life and has shaped my interests for the future With having had multiple x-rays, surgeries, and blood tests over the last 5 years, this has deeply shaped me into wanting to pursue the medical felid My care team they has helped me to be able to live my life today and i would love to do the same for the patients in my care Patients of all ages should feel loved, supported, heard, valued and cared for, and having them be able to continue to do the things they love
