This week we talked to Traci Beebe! Traci is the Director of Nursing and Clinical Practice at The Permanente Medical Group and she also happens to be Robin's sister! Traci was in nursing school when Robin was diagnosed with IBD and we talked to her about what that was like. We also talked to her about her experience with pain management clinics and pain and IBD. We discussed how and why pain management is so complicated and misunderstood in IBD and what we can do to change that. We also talked about the importance of case management and involving family in chronic illness care and management. Finally we talked about what it's been like for her to experience and help Robin during some of her most challenging times with IBD. Traci is so passionate and such and advocate and it was such a JOY to get to know her during this conversation.
