Dr Summer and I continue our conversation about her journey with her MS diagnosis and we also have great discussion about how Summer approaches her visits with her neurologist as a doctor herself and an MS patient and how she separates the two. We also get into so many awesome conversations like where she thought medicine is at with a cure and her thoughts on AI in future medicine. Dr Summer and I have an incredible conversation about the medical system and how bad doctors are kept employed because of the volume of patients and the money they bring in as opposed to good doctors that are slower and aren't bringing in money will not have their contract's renewed. We talk about how the way the medical system is set up that creates poor healthcare for the patients. We also talk about how the tuition cap is going to cause more of a shortage in medical providers. Summer gives me an excellent definition of MS fatigue that I never heard worded the way she explained it. Dr Summer talks about how she keeps motivated. Summer controls the things she can control. Summer still crowd surfs at concerts even though she is in a wheelchair and she is trying to find sit ski lessons. We talk about how we still do things but we figure out different ways to do it. Summer and I have an amazing discussion about how we had to learn how to ask for help. Dr Summer also talks about how important finding a community is to help with support living with our disease and how we found each other on TikTok. We also discuss how there should be a safe space for caregivers to support themselves. Thank you so much for taking the time to discuss your journey and answer questions about the doctor side of the fence. You are an amazing warrior!! FUMS!
