ANDREW WONG, M.D. – RECIPIENT OF THE 2019 I.B. HARRISON, M.D. HUMANITARIAN AWARD

JOHN KATOPODIS, M.D. – RECIPIENT OF THE 2019 OUTSTANDING PHYSICIAN AWARD

By Shannon Boyle, CMS Communications and Events Coordinator

The Capital Medical Society is pleased to announce Dr. Andrew Wong as the recipient of this year’s I.B. Harrison, M.D. Humanitarian Award. Each year this award is presented to a physician who demonstrates dedication to the humanitarian values we associate with the late Dr. I.B. Harrison. These values include: compassion, service, respect, wisdom and integrity. Compassionate (adjective): feeling or showing sympathy and concern for others. Dr. Andrew Wong, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon, is described by many of his colleagues using this four syllable word: compassionate. He strives to be compassionate toward his patients each and every day, a quality that would make Dr. I.B. Harrison proud. Dr. Wong was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but at the age of four, his family moved to San Francisco to follow his father’s dream of becoming an orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Wong’s father took his orthopedic surgery career very seriously, and in turn, missed a majority of Dr. Wong’s childhood. This led Dr. Wong to form a negative view of medicine. Eventually, through athletics and his years of gymnastics, Dr. Wong slowly grew to respect and appreciate the

The Capital Medical Society is pleased to announce Dr. John Katopodis as the recipient of this year’s Outstanding Physician Award. This award honors a physician who has been a leader within the field of medicine and political activities while demonstrating clinical excellence, and actively contributing to the education of future medical professionals. Dr. Katopodis is board-certified in Cardiovascular Disease with added qualifications in Interventional Cardiology. He was born in Athens, Greece, and moved to the United States at the age of six. He was immersed in medicine throughout his childhood through his father’s family in Greece. His grandfather was a family practitioner and his uncle was an ophthalmologist. His father and mother were both involved in medical research and medicine was constantly discussed at home. Dr. Katopodis knew he wanted to be a doctor since the first grade. He vividly remembers his uncle’s happiness after long clinic days, and his uncle’s determination to do whatever he could to help his patients. Dr. Katopodis yearned for this same feeling in his future career and was committed to doing whatever it took to become a doctor. He earned his B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania, and his medical degree from the New York University School of Medicine. During his first month in medical school, he fell in love with Cardiology. He credits this inspiration to his preceptor, a cardiologist, who taught him the ins and outs of the cardiovascular examination and took him to see

ANNOUNCEMENTS

PROFESSIONAL NOTES Alan Keesee, CEO, Capital Regional Medical Center earned the American College of Healthcare Executives’ Robert S. Hudgens Memorial Award for Young Healthcare Executive of the Year. Alan Keesee calls the night of the 2017 Las Vegas shooting one of the defining moments of his career. He was the on-call administrator at Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center in Las Vegas when the emergency room received 230 victims from the tragedy at the Route 91 Harvest Festival. Keesee, who was chief operating officer of Sunrise from mid-2015 to early 2018, oversaw the team of clinicians triaging and treating the patients late into the night. “That is a huge mark of something I’ve done, leading through that. I will carry it with me for the rest of my career,” he said. The experience exemplified why Keesee wanted to be a hospital administrator in the first place. “We are here for our community no matter what. Every single person in our community relies on us, and I take that responsibility with a lot of weight,” he said. The 6th Annual Dentistry from the Heart Event held at Periodontal Associates of North Florida on February 2, 2019 successfully provided free extractions, fillings and cleanings to the community. 183 patients were served this year compared to prior year’s averages approximating 112-122 patients. “There were more requests for cleanings from patients over 40 this year,” said Dr. Walt Colón who hosts this annual event. “That’s great news, because that means there is a growing awareness of the need for dental maintenance and periodontal control.” Roshanda Dorsey, We Care Network Dental Coordinator volunteered at the event again this year.

The Tallahassee Memorial Metabolic Health Center recently earned Full Recognition by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for its diabetes prevention program. This recognition is required to apply for Medicare provider status. The year-long program is part of the National Diabetes Prevention Program and has proven results in preventing or delaying type 2 diabetes in high-risk patients. Participants meet in groups with a trained lifestyle coach to learn ways to incorporate healthier eating and moderate physical activity, as well as problem-solving, stress-reduction, and coping skills, into their daily lives. To participate, patients must: Be at least 18 years old; Be overweight (BMI ≥ 24; ≥ 22 if Asian); Have no previous diagnosis of type 1 or type 2 diabetes; Have established risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes; or Have been diagnosed with prediabetes within the past year or previously diagnosed with gestational diabetes. For more information, go to: https://www.tmh.org/services/diabetes or call (850) 431-5404 and ask to speak to the Diabetes Prevention Coordinator.

orthopedic surgery profession. It was in high school when Dr. Wong came to the realization that, despite the personal sacrifices required of the medical profession, he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps and become an orthopedic surgeon. He obtained his medical degree from Tulane University School of Medicine in 1989. While at Tulane, he served as President of the Student Advisory Board for Admissions, which was responsible for college pre-med counseling and medical student orientation, and was awarded the Tulane Medical Alumni Association Student Recognition Award for his demonstration of scholastic achievement, contribution to the medical center, and promise of achievements and leadership as an alumnus. He completed his orthopedic surgery residency at the University of Florida and fellowship in sports medicine and adult lower extremity reconstruction at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas (UT Health San Antonio). It was at UT Health San Antonio that Dr. Wong met his role model in medicine. Dr. Jesse DeLee, a long-time orthopedic surgeon, served as the course director. Dr. Wong strongly believes that the year he spent under Dr. DeLee was the most formative and taught him how best to practice as an orthopedist. While finishing his fellowship, Dr. Wong interviewed at Tallahassee Orthopedic Clinic (TOC). His connection to TOC was Dr. Mark Fahey, who joined TOC in 1993, but had trained with Dr. Wong while at the University of Florida for their residencies. As it turns out, Dr. Wong did not end up joining TOC at that time. Instead, he and his wife decided to live and work in Clearwater, Florida. After seven years, Dr. Wong was looking for a change of scenery, but knew he wanted to stay in Florida. As luck would have it, TOC knew that he was searching for a new practice and hired him in 2001. Ever since, his schedule has been full of patients eager to seek his expert advice and talented surgery skills. Dr. Wong’s friend and colleague, Dr. Michael Forsthoefel said it best: “Since being in Tallahassee, he has proven himself to be a superior physician in his operating skills, and especially in joint replacement, and that is proven by his demand for surgery and desirability by patients to be seen by him.” Dr. Wong has a passion to mentor future physicians, especially those with an interest in orthopedic surgery. He is an Associate Professor at Florida 6

CAP SCAN - A CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIETY PUBLICATION

State University (FSU) College of Medicine and has received many accolades for his teaching skills, including Clinical Educator of the Year, Outstanding Clinical Professor, and Top 10 Best Faculty Preceptors. One of his greatest achievements was hiring three of his former medical students to join TOC: Drs. David Alvarez, Matthew Lee, and Brian Zirgibel. In 2016, Dr. Wong became a Clinical Instructor for the Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine. He has been involved in many areas of the medical community. He currently serves on the Board of Directors at Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH) and previously was a member of the Surgical Case Review Committee. Starting in 2018, he has been the Treasurer on the TMH Board of Directors. He has been Team Physician for several local athletic programs, including Leon High School, Florida High School and Gym Force Gymnastics and Athletic Training Center. He has also been a volunteer physician in the Capital Medical Society Foundation’s We Care Network for many years. To further expand on Dr. Wong’s commitment to the orthopedic field, he has served as past president of the Florida Orthopedic Society. He was instrumental in their development of guidelines and standards of professionalism for the specialty. He has also been actively involved in the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS). He served on the Executive Committee of the Board of Councilors and on the Editorial Board for the AAOS NOW news magazine. He currently serves as an instructor for the TeamSTEPPS training initiative, a hospital patient safety improvement workshop series. Also, he proudly serves as an instructor for their Communication Skills Mentoring Project, where he was selected to train orthopedic surgeons and residents in physician-patient communication skills and techniques. According to research conducted by the AAOS, it was suggested that, “patients perceived orthopedic surgeons as ‘high tech, low touch.’ In other words, while patients gave these physicians high marks for their skills in the operating room, the same was not true when it came to listening and communicating.” Dr. Wong and the AAOS are optimistic that this project will improve orthopedic surgeons’ communication skills. Dr. Wong received the Achievement Award from the AAOS for his many contributions to education, research, and advocacy in orthopedics.

2019 I.B. HARRISON, M.D. HUMANITARIAN AWARD

Dr. Wong has also reached out to those in need outside of our community by going on medical missions to Guatemala and Uganda. He feels strongly that he needs to use his skills for the greater good. During one trip to Uganda, he vividly remembers treating a nine-year-old boy from the Congo. He and his uncle had walked for three days in hopes that they would find someone to help them. The boy had broken his arm months before and was unable to use his elbow. Due to his injury, he was no use to his village and his future limited. Thankfully, Dr. Wong was able to operate and restore movement in his elbow. Dr. Wong said that each mission trip was an emotional journey because they are taking care of people that would likely not be able to get the treatment they so desperately need. In the United States, we tend to take the accessibility to medical care for granted. After seeing firsthand, the lack of basic medical care in these countries, he feels privileged to have lent a helping hand. Dr. Wong has contributed to many presentations in our local community and afar. In 2016, he presented on a topic that is very important to him, physician-

patient communication, at the FSU College of Medicine Grand Rounds. He has presented at the AAOS’ annual meeting several years on topics ranging from communication and situational awareness to difficult conversations in orthopedics. He has also presented on various orthopedic procedures at FSU College of Medicine, University of Florida, and the Florida Orthopedic Society’s annual meetings. He is a loving husband to his wife of 26 years, Ann, and a proud father to their three children, Cameron, Christian, and Hannah. In those rare moments when Dr. Wong is not caring for patients, teaching medical students, or attending committee meetings or community activities, he enjoys going to the gym and traveling. For many years, Dr. Wong spent the majority of his extra time at his children’s activities, but as of this year, he and Ann are adjusting to life as “empty nesters.” On behalf of all those associated with the Capital Medical Society, congratulations to Dr. Andrew Wong.

I.B. “BUD” HARRISON, M.D.

WHO WAS I.B. “BUD” HARRISON, M.D.? By J. Orson Smith, M.D. Again this year, we will honor a recipient of the I.B. Harrison, M.D. Humanitarian Award. I was asked to tell the many new doctors in this community who Dr. I.B. “Bud” Harrison was. He remains the icon in this community for an intelligent, competent, and compassionate physician. He was also a leader and role model to many family practice physicians. Bud was 8 years older than I, but we were both Cardiology Fellows under Dr. Bruce Logue at Emory. Dr. Logue was our role model. In 1961, while serving in the army at Fort McPherson and attending a Cardiology conference at Grady Hospital, Bud approached Bruce to ask if he knew anyone that might join him and Fred Butler in medical practice. Bruce pointed to me and said, “Orson will.” I always did what Dr. Logue told me to do.

said, “Well if it is, he ain’t no good.” Time certainly proved this to be wrong! In the early 1970’s, Bud had a catfish fin him in the knee and he developed a pseudomonas infection, which led to the need for a Charnley fusion. This made night call very difficult and he took a position as Chief of Medical Affairs at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. This led to the most important contribution of his life, namely becoming a teacher in the Residency Program. The following is an excerpt from Dr. Whit Oliver’s acceptance speech as he was awarded the 2010 I.B. Harrison, M.D. Humanitarian Award. He shared wonderful insight into Bud’s “make-up.”

“Dr. Harrison was loved by most and respected by all who knew him. When dealing with patients Dr. I.B. “Bud” Harrison he was compassionate, caring and totally focused on the patient regardless of their In 1962, we became Butler, Harrison and Smith, life circumstances.

procedures in the cath lab. Dr. Katopodis found it “incredible to diagnose an illness by simply listening to the heart” and was amazed at what could be done to help patients in the cath lab. He then completed his Internship and Internal Medicine Residency at the University Hospitals of Cleveland, Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio. He deferred going to cardiology fellowship in order to pay off student loans, relocated to Miami, Florida and practiced emergency medicine for four years. He then completed a year of Cardiology fellowship at Shands Hospital, University of Florida School of Medicine in Gainesville, Florida, and two years in Cardiology at Jackson Memorial Hospital, University of Miami School of Medicine in Miami. While at the University of Miami, he was awarded the Harry Botwick Memorial Award for Superior Performance as a Cardiology Fellow by the University of Miami School of Medicine. He then did his Interventional Cardiology training at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. While in Michigan, he missed the warm weather of Florida and it took only a few times slipping on the ice and freezing in his car on the way to work to decide to come back to Florida. Even though he has been skiing for 30 years and loves the snow, he prefers to go to the snow on his terms when he chooses rather than have it come to him.

participation in sports at the University, and he also assists them when players have cardiac issues. Over the years, he has worked with dozens of athletes and continues to do the primary cardiac screening of the athletes. Most recently, the women’s soccer team awarded him a championship ring for his work with the team.

In the dead of winter in 1995, Dr. Katopodis asked industry catheter representatives who called on the University of Michigan cath lab and asked for the contact information of their counterparts in Florida. He called multiple Florida-based industry representatives and one mentioned that Southern Medical Group in Tallahassee was looking for an interventional cardiologist. He spoke with fellow cardiologist, Dr. David Tedrick and ultimately joined Southern Medical Group and has been practicing cardiology with Southern Medical Group since.

Dr. Katopodis has been actively involved with the Florida Medical Association (FMA) since 1999. He first joined the FMA in 1989 while he was working in emergency medicine in Miami because he thought “joining the FMA was the right thing to do.” He became a delegate to the FMA House of Delegates for the Capital Medical Society (CMS) in 1999. At that time Jeb Bush was running against a trial lawyer friendly candidate for governor. Dr. Terry McCoy, now past President of CMS and FMA, approached Dr. Katopodis to raise funds for the Bush campaign. Dr. Katopodis was already very concerned about what the trial bar was doing to the medical profession and ended up raising a lot of money for that event. The FMA Political Action Committee (PAC) leadership noticed this achievement. Dr. Tony Weaver, past president of CMS, was a PAC Board member at the time and asked him to join the FMA PAC. In 2000, he joined the FMA PAC Board of Directors and was quickly made chair of the 1000 Club, the fundraising arm of the PAC at the time. During his tenure on the leadership team of the PAC, he helped redo the PAC bylaws, was involved in restructuring how the PAC raised money, and by the time he became PAC President in 2011, all fund raising records for the FMA PAC were being broken.

Upon his arrival in 1995, he and Drs. David Tedrick and Earl McKenzie, the other interventional cardiologists of Southern Medical Group, implemented the use of second generation interventional devices and techniques in the Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH) cath lab. Through their efforts, TMH, for the first time, became a Top 100 hospital for angioplasty in 1997. Dr. Katopodis became a proctor for rotational atherectomy and helped train other interventional cardiologists in the region in some of these techniques. Southern Medical Group quickly became a tertiary referral group to which other cardiologists from the region would send their complex patients. To this day, many of these groups continue to send their toughest patients to the physicians of Southern Medical Group. In 1996, Dr. Katopodis helped the Florida State University (FSU) athletics department develop its cardiac screening program for athletes prior to their 10 CAP SCAN - A CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIETY PUBLICATION

In 1997, he and several cardiologists from across Florida collaborated to bring cardiovascular clinical research to some community hospitals in Florida. The group founded Clinyx, LLC, which functioned as a cardiology research site management organization and helped jumpstart several cardiology clinical research programs in community hospitals in Florida. The company was successful and several of the original sites ultimately were able to become standalone research centers. In 2004, he and the other physicians of Southern Medical Group founded the Tallahassee Research Institute (TRI), which collaborates with TMH to bring advanced clinical cardiovascular research trials to the area. Dr. Katopodis served as President of TRI for the first three years and Vice President for 11 years. Since its inception, TRI has been involved in many landmark IDE and pharmaceutical trials and has been involved in over 70 clinical research trials overall.

In 2007, his mentor, Dr. Karl Altenberger asked him to join the FMA Board of Governors, and Dr. Katopodis was elected to the District A seat of the Board that year, and also served as the at large member of the executive committee of the board for the next

three years. The FMA was undergoing an internal restructuring at the time, and with Dr. Altenberger’s mentorship, Dr. Katopodis played a central role in that process which was ultimately enshrined in substantive revisions of the FMA bylaws, policies, and procedures. Dr. Katopodis served on many FMA and FMA PAC councils and committees over the years and became the 141st President of the FMA in 2017. During his tenure as President, the opioid crisis and physician wellness dominated the discourse of his presidency. As a result, the FMA launched the Opioid Resource Center, Physician Wellness Resource Center, and EHR Resource Center on the FMA website. He spent most of his presidency traveling across the state supporting physician wellness programs and educating physicians and their spouses about physician burnout. Although Dr. Katopodis never aspired to become FMA President, he made it his personal mission to promote the medical profession, support physicians, and do whatever he could to make the Florida Medical Association as strong as possible. Locally he founded the Cardiology Case Review Committee at TMH, has been a member of the Institutional Review Board at TMH, and board member on the Board of Directors for The Heart Institute at TMH. He has also served on the Tallahassee Rotary Club board, and has served on the Parish Council of the Holy Mother of God Greek Orthodox Church. While on the Church board, he spearheaded the construction of the church’s recreational hall and kitchen, a $1.2M building project. He has also been a volunteer physician in the Capital

Medical Society Foundation’s We Care Network for many years and is actively involved in teaching FSU medical students as clinical faculty. He is a loving husband to his wife of 6 years, Evi, and a proud father to three children, Christina, Niko, and Nonda. Simply stated by Dr. Katopodis, “my wife, Evi, and my children, are the most important part of my life and they supersede everything else.” In his spare time, Dr. Katopodis enjoys spending time with his family, skiing and cooking. This will likely come as a surprise to most, but Dr. Katopodis relishes the moments to and from work when he can blast the radio at one decibel lower than rattling the license plate to his favorite music genre, dance electronica. A few of his favorite musicians are Steve Aoki, Pitbull, Nicki Minaj, Calvin Harris, and Flo Rida. The ring tone on his phone is Alexandra Stan’s Mr. Saxobeat. While listening to his favorite music genre and musicians, he wraps himself in the wise words of ancient Greek philosopher Plato, “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.” On behalf of all those associated with the Capital Medical Society, congratulations to Dr. John Katopodis. He certainly exemplifies what we consider to be qualities of an outstanding leader and physician.

DOCTORS’ DAY

WHAT IS DOCTORS’ DAY? WHY WAS IT FOUNDED? The first Doctors’ Day observance was held on March 30, 1933, by the Barrow County Alliance, in Winder, Georgia. The idea of setting aside a day to honor physicians was conceived by Eudora Brown Almond, wife of Dr. Charles B. Almond, and the recognition occurred on the anniversary of the first administration of anesthesia by Dr. Crawford W. Long in Barrow County, Georgia, in 1842. The Alliance immediately adopted the following resolution: “WHEREAS the Alliance to the Barrow County Medical Society wishes to pay lasting tribute to the Doctors, therefore, be it RESOLVED by the Alliance of the Barrow County Medical Society that March 30, the day that famous Georgian Dr. Crawford W. Long first used ether anesthesia in surgery, be adopted as ‘Doctors Day,’ the object to be the well-being and honor of the profession, its observance demanding some act of kindness, gift or tribute in remembrance of the Doctors.” This first observance included the mailing of cards to physicians and their wives, flowers placed on graves of deceased doctors, including Dr. Long, and a formal dinner. After the Barrow County Alliance adopted its resolution to pay tribute to the doctors, the plan was presented and passed by the Georgia State Medical Alliance in 1934 in Augusta, Georgia. The resolution was introduced to the Women’s Alliance of the Southern Medical Association at its 29th annual meeting held in St. Louis, Missouri in 1935. Since then, Doctors’ Day has become an integral part of and synonymous with, the Southern Medical Association Alliance. Through the years, the red carnation has been used as the symbol of Doctors’ Day. On March 30, 1958, the United States House of Representatives adopted a Resolution Commemorating Doctors’ Day. In 1990, Congressmen Mike Parker (D-Mississippi) and G. V. Montgomery (D-Mississippi) and Senator Thad Cochran (R-Mississippi) introduced legislation in the House and Senate to establish a national Doctors’ Day. Following overwhelming approval 12 CAP SCAN - A CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIETY PUBLICATION

by the US Senate and the House, on October 30, 1990, President George Bush signed S.J. RES. #366 (which became Public Law 101-473) designating March 30 as “National Doctors’ Day”: Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That – 1. March 30, 1991, is designated as “National Doctors’ Day”; and 2. The President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe the day with appropriate programs, ceremonies and activities. Doctors’ Day is the result of dedicated Alliance members across the country. The enactment of this law enables the citizens of the United States to publicly show appreciation for the role of physicians in caring for the sick, advancing medical knowledge, and promoting good health.

VIEWPOINT

Editor’s Note: Dr. Charles Williams is a literary phenomenon hailing from South Georgia. The following article is a reprise of earlier works that he published which reflect upon his upbringing in Moultrie and the adventures of Pedro (Williams) as he sauntered out into the Big World. He has been a member of Radiology Associates of Tallahassee since 1974, and he has been a prominent national speaker for professional organizations. Those of us who have known him are lucky to have witnessed and heard his (sometimes) profound thoughts on growing up poor and becoming a success in life.

DREAMIN’ ON THE FRONT PORCH Charles D. “Pedro” Williams, M.D., FACR, FAAP As a kid I would sit on the front porch thinkin’ and dreamin’. That’s where we did that. Sometimes just me and my two dogs, Pete and Repete. I could depend on them to keep my secrets. Sometimes I would play what it would be like. What would it be like if ever I could become a doctor, what would it be like the first day of practice, what would it be like the first day in the operating room, what would it be like the first time I could fly in a real airplane, and on and on. Just what would it be like? My first day in the operating room was not what I had envisioned in my youth in Simpler Times. No heroics. I was assigned with two other jr. medical students to observe Dr. Gramling, anesthesiologist at MCG (Medical College of Georgia). As a jr. student, it was obvious that I along with my two classmates didn’t know what was going on. Dr. Gramling was giving a local anesthetic to the mental foramen of the mandible and apparently blocking the nerve to the mental foramen. He looked at our name tags and mine was the name he could pronounce. He said, “Dr. Williams.” Then I froze, I had never been called Doctor. It didn’t seem right. It still don’t seem right. He then said again, “Dr. Williams.” And asked, “How do you do a mental block?” I thought and thought for about 10 seconds and said, “Dr. Grambling, I know but I can’t think of it.” He stopped, took off his gloves and went around to every room repeating what some jr. medical student had told him. Later that day I was getting more and more confident and was assigned to observe Dr. John L. Williams do surgery. He was a first year surgical resident at MCG. Apparently his job was to cuss and my job was to run and get blood. We both did our jobs well. The first actual day of practice was in the Pediatric Department at Homestead AFB, a long way from Moultrie and a long time from Simpler Times. On this first day an Air Force Sergeant brought his 5-yearold child in for his vaccination. There was a bottle of lollipops on my desk for rewards. I reached for a lollipop 16 CAP SCAN - A CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIETY PUBLICATION

with one hand and had the needle and syringe in the other. The 5-year-old Sergeant’s kid looked my way and said, “I don’t want any of your damn lollipops. Just give me that shot and let me get the hell out of here.” I did just that and I ate the lollipop. By the end of the day all the lollipops were gone. The first day of practice had finally come to an end but yet there was the sound of some soft footsteps. Upon turning around there stood a cute little 5-year-old girl dressed in a pink princess outfit with a crown. She sweetly said, “Trick or Treat.” I had forgotten it was Halloween and the lollipops were gone. There were a couple of oranges on the desk left over from lunch. She opened her sack and I dropped in an orange. She looked into the sack and looked back up at me and I was sure she was going to cry. I thought that was not enough. I reached for the second orange and dropped it into the sack. She again looked into the sack and pitifully back up at me. I asked, “Weren’t the oranges enough?” She replied, “Doctor, you crushed my damn cookies.” This had not been exactly the dream I had on the front porch back in Simpler Times. After two years of Pediatrics, Pediatric Radiology became appealing and I flew to Houston, Texas to start their program. On the way out there, I got one of the seats right by the window so I could look out during my first airplane flight. It seemed that a lot of my dreams from Simpler Times were being fulfilled. After several hours of flying and looking out of the window, I turned to the gentleman sitting next to me and told him that we were finally over Texas. He said, “How come?” I said, “Cause the pine trees are getting taller.” He looked over me and out the window and said, “No they’re not, we’re landing.” Upon arrival I went over to Texas Children’s Hospital to hear Dr. Ed Singleton, Pediatric Radiologist, give a conference to approximately 100 physicians. He had written an article called, “Dwarfs and Other Little People.” He was presenting a case of an achrondroplastic dwarf and said that this mother had six other children just like the one presented. He then asked if anyone in

VIEWPOINT

the audience knew this family. I raised my hand and asked if her name was Snow White. He stopped and asked me who I was and where I was from. I told him “Moultrie, Georgia” and he said, “That explains it.” He subsequently received a Gold Medal Award from Pediatric Radiology and became my mentor and friend. After entering the world of private practice of Pediatric Radiology, one evening I got a call from Dr. Jordan, the orthopedist, about doing a hip aspiration using fluoroscopy on a four-year-old male child to rule out infection of the hip. He said the Pediatrician would be giving orders to the nurse for proper sedation. About 45 minutes later I entered the room to perform the procedure. The little boy was lying on the table with his eyes closed and absolutely no movement and the Mama and Grandmama were standing by his side. I proceeded to explain the procedure to Mama. I told her about sticking a needle into the hip joint to get fluid using x-ray to help guide the needle to the right spot and that the fluid would be sent to the lab for tests. The mama appeared a little faintified and queasy so I asked, “Does anyone wish to leave the room?” The little boy opened

his eyes, looked up at me, raised his hand and said, “I do.” I then left the room for more medication. Many of these actual happenings weren’t exactly like the dreams formed during Simpler Times but those dreams gave some of us young people hope and direction. The dreams on the front porch allowed us to leave the front porch and prepare for a more complex future time. During these present complex and hectic times, I find that now my dreams take me back to the front porch of Simpler Times for peace of mind.

ALLIANCE CORNER

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT It is with a grateful heart that I begin my position as President of the Alliance for 2019. This group has become so special to me and played a significant role in welcoming me to what was an unfamiliar Tallahassee ten years ago! I consider it a privilege to have served in a variety of roles over the years and I am looking forward to working with an amazing team of individuals in this new capacity. In January, we gathered at Sarah Ho’s home and installed our 2019 Executive Board Officers. There was an excellent turnout and we enjoyed reuniting after the Holidays. Bev Devine (FMAA President) and Karen Swain (FMAA PresidentElect) joined us for the installation and presented the officer pins while updating us on the 2019 FMAA initiatives. I encourage everyone to visit their website (myfmaa.org) and join the FMAA for 2019 if you have not already done so.

(L-r) Andrea Stephens, Treasurer; Hien Guyer, Parliamentarian; Heather Redfield, Treasurer-Elect; Eva Beaty, Secretary; Melissa Inglese, President; Sybil Holt, President-Elect; Jane Snyder, VP Membership; Sarah Ho, Past President; Beverly Devine, FMAA President; and Karen Swain, FMAA President-Elect. Our February membership meeting was held at the Publix Cooking School. Our meeting was conducted and then we enjoyed a four-course demonstration lunch. As in the past, we will not formally meet this March. The CMS Celebration Awards Dinner will be held on March 28 at the 18 CAP SCAN - A CAPITAL MEDICAL SOCIETY PUBLICATION

University Center Club. In April, members will present a scholarship check to FAMU School of Nursing and hear updates about their program. We typically do not meet in the summer, but the board and I are discussing perhaps some lowkey ways we may socialize and stay somewhat connected- so be on the lookout for information! And while we are still finalizing some of our fall programs, plan to attend the New Member Welcome Lunch (open to all) as summer ends. Our September membership meeting will be special as we celebrate and honor all of our past presidents. For our community outreach project this year we are partnering with the Joanna Francis Living Well Foundation. We will support several of their ongoing initiatives, such as stocking their “community closet” for local breast cancer patients, and plan to put on a fundraising event later this year. As in previous years, we will collaborate and partner with CMS throughout 2019 for several of their events and efforts; these details will be sent to you directly from the Alliance. I am excited about the upcoming year and am thankful for everyone who has graciously agreed to serve alongside me. This organization thrives on the enthusiasm and generously provided time and talent of its members, and I have no doubt that we are going to have an enjoyable and meaningful year. Sincerely, Melissa Inglese CMSA President

SOCIAL WORK MONTH

CELEBRATING SOCIAL WORK MONTH Social work (noun): any of various professional activities or methods concretely concerned with providing social services and especially with the investigation, treatment, and material aid of the economically, physically, mentally, or socially disadvantaged. “My time with We Care Network has been an incredibly rewarding, humbling, challenging, difficult, exciting, and complicated experience. My personal and professional desire is to keep as many patients as possible from unnecessary emergency department visits and to instead get them directly to the specialty medical and specialty dental care they so greatly need. The patients, staff, and generous providers are what keeps me motivated. Seeing the statistics at the end of each month, quarter, and year reinforces to me that we are making a huge difference in thousands of people’s lives.” ~ Diana Bixler, BS - Program Coordinator

“In this profession, as in most helping professions, we don’t usually see people on their best day. When people come to see you, you can all but guarantee that it will not be under the greatest circumstances. The job of a social worker is to help them through to the other side, and to help them find the strength within themselves to keep going forward. Perhaps the thing I like the most about social work and other helping professions is that empowerment aspect. When I was an introductory social work student, one of the first things I was taught was how to look at the world from the strengths’ perspective. I am looking forward to the opportunity to continue to assist patients as a member of the We Care team.” ~ Brian Collins, BSW - Case Manager “For me it’s really simple. I love to help people. Being a macro social worker means working to promote human improvement and social justice through work with different organizations and networks. It includes an expansive scope of learning and abilities that empower social workers as professionals to lead and add to profoundly performing open and private organizations and networks that address the basic social issues in which people, families and communities live and grow. I am dedicated to this profession. It has helped me overcome dynamics of oppression and social injustice. In order to continue to accomplish my goal to help others achieve their goals, I will continue to put time into social work practice, as well being a member of this society that follows and upholds ethical conduct and empowers the vulnerable populations in our community.” ~ Shonda Davis, BSW - Case Manager “I often say that I did not choose Social Work but Social Work chose me. Although I’ve always known that I wanted to work in a profession that allowed me to help and empower others, Social Work was not my first choice. It was around my Junior year of college that I realized my initial major was not working out. I had approached an obstacle in my path and needed to quickly decide whether it would be my stumbling block or my stepping stone. Needless to say, I chose to step right over it and, to my surprise, it landed me into my purpose: a career where each day I have the opportunity to help change someone’s life circumstances for the better. Social Work is not just what I do; it’s a part of who I am.” ~ Roshanda Dorsey, BSW - Senior Case Manager & Dental Coordinator

“The reason I got into the social work profession really comes down to the fact that I get joy out of helping others. That desire to help is in many ways a part of my faith which compels me to help. I am incredibly thankful that I am able to serve in this way through the We Care Network. Helping others navigate medical issues and watching them receive any kind of progress in their medical situation is truly a blessing and experiencing this keeps me motivated in my job. It’s rewarding to see people who have been discouraged by their medical issue experience hope.” ~ Abby Edwards, MA - Case Manager

“I have always been passionate about working a career that is not only enjoyable but fulfilling as well. Over a year ago, I had the opportunity to join the We Care Network team. My role within the organization has provided me the chance to help individuals in our community gain access to the life-saving healthcare they may not have received if not for our organization. I’m proud to say I am part of a field that continually makes a difference in the lives of others. I hope to be able to continue to grow professionally in the social work sector and help members of the community. The impact we make at We Care Network is my driving force to come to work every day excited and ready to help others.” ~ Gregory Sharp - Case Management Associate
