AMAZING PATIENT!!! For my 5th H&P, i got to see a patient with Hereditary Angioedema. We're actually doing research right now to create cases in order to test doctors, fellows, residents and medical students. The current cases are about angioedema, a life threatening condition which periodically causes your throat to swell up. She presents to the ER very frequently and therefore LSU knows her and knows what to do. If she goes to the other area hospitals she either gets too much or not enough treatment b/c they aren't use to dealing with this condition on a regular basis. It was such an amazing experience just to get to talk to her and spend some with her as she waited to be discharged. Her baby sister is currently at another area hospital delivering her first baby. Everyone is so excited and she was anxious to be discharged so that she could go and see the baby. She's amazing and I had the greatest time! God is sooo good.
