A PERSONAL STORY FROM A WE CARE NETWORK BREAST CANCER PATIENT

“Mrs. Walker is a Leon County patient and breast cancer survivor who was referred to the We Care Network in 2010 for oncology services. Mrs. Walker works part-time for Senior Home Care Service and has two children. One afternoon while doing a breast self-examination at home, she discovered a lump in her left breast. She immediately made an appointment with her primary care physician at Neighborhood Medical Center to have it checked out. She was told to keep an eye on it and to return if anything changed. Mrs. Walker remembers checking it the next day and found that it had grown in size. She contacted her primary care physician, and they scheduled her to come back in to be seen. After confirming her findings, Mrs. Walker was referred to

the We Care Network for radiology and oncology services. Mrs. Walker went through several rounds of radiation and chemotherapy and was delighted to hear that she was finally cancer-free. However, several years later in 2016, the cancer returned. She was referred back to the We Care Network where she went through several more rounds of radiation and took oral chemotherapy for 5 years. In August 2021, she was, once again, cancer-free. She is extremely grateful for the We Care Network and all of the wonderful doctors who took such great care of her.”

PROFESSIONAL NOTES

Colleagues and friends joined Dr. Suzanne Harrison on Thursday, August 25, 2022, in the FSU College of Medicine’s Doctor’s Inn to celebrate her career, retirement from the FSU College of Medicine, and legacy.

Dr. Harrison, Fellow of the American Academy of Family Physicians and Fellow of the American Medical Women’s Association, has been Professor of Family Medicine and Rural Health since 2016. Over the course of her 17-year tenure as a full-time faculty member at Florida State University (FSU) College of Medicine, she matriculated through the academic ranks and served in many roles including as preceptor for the Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare Family Medicine Residency Program, block director for ANS, Endocrine, and Reproductive systems, served in multiple administrative roles at FSU College of Medicine, and as courtesy faculty at the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Institute of Public Health to name a few.

Dr. Harrison has made and continues to make significant contributions to the field of family medicine locally and internationally in many ways including as President of the American Medical Women’s Association (2016-2018, and over 17 years of service), Family Medicine Education Director for

our students (2010-2017), preceptor of residents and students on global health elective as a part of service trips to Los Cedros, Nicaragua (2012-2015), leader in the Department of Family Medicine and Rural Health and Chair of our P&T Committee, previous Family Medicine Clerkship Director (2006-2010) and most recently, as Director of Clinical Programs (2017-2022). Additionally, Dr. Harrison has impacted the lives of countless learners across the spectrum including medical students, physician assistant students, graduate and undergraduate students, and residents in training. Her scholarly publications cover a variety of topics including intimate partner violence and educational practices in the academic setting. Her content expertise is not only notable, but impactful through journals like Academic Medicine and grants that addressed human trafficking, humanism, and resources for victims of violence.

Congratulations, Dr. Harrison. Thank you for “coming out of retirement” to present the Capital Medical Society’s Domestic Violence CME again on October 18!

CMS Members: If you receive accolades, please let us know, so we can include you in this section! Email the details to Shannon Boyle at sboyle@capmed.org.

Yet another of Florida’s medical liability insurers has transitioned from focusing on doctors to focusing on Wall Street. This leaves you with an important question to ask: Do you want an insurer that’s driven by investors? Or do you want an insurer that’s driven to serve you—one that’s already paid $120 million in awards to its members when they retire from the practice of medicine?

Join us and discover why delivering the best imaginable service and unrivaled rewards is at the core of who we are.

WARN YOUR PATIENTS ABOUT GAS STOVES

Gas stoves are a health risk. This is true especially for children and the elderly. People who live in homes with gas stoves have more asthma, lung disease, and perhaps even cancer. This month, the Capital Medical Society’s My Green Doctor explains the data and offers advice in a short article that you can share with your patients. Click the link below or scan the QR: https://mygreendoctor.org/learn-the-health-riskof-gas-stoves/

My Green Doctor is a free money-saving membership benefit from the Society.

GETTIN’ REFRESHED AND REFUELED

Sometimes we need to go back to our roots or our old stompin’ ground to get refreshed and refueled. Grandma once told Pedro that if a person left Colquitt County to set the woods on fire, he would have to keep coming back for more matches. She said a helpin’ hand is found at the end of your own arm and you could always recognize a smart person because they think like you do.

Recently Pedro headed back to Moultrie to spend some time with Millard and to reflect back on the good ole days of Grandma and Pedro and their roots. Grandma lost the farm to the banks and to the bollweevils. She raised seven kids during the depression including Dillard, Millard, and Willard. She pointed out that life was what happened to her after she had made other plans. She said that we needed a sense of humor to tolerate the unpleasant and the unbearable and to cope with the unexpected and she did just that.

Millard and I got together and headed downtown to see what was happenin’ and to get a cup of coffee at one of those sat-down restaurants. As we were coming into town on South Main Street we passed the Episcopal Church and Millard reminded Pedro that Episcopalians were Baptists who made good on their investments. Pedro then told Millard that his Preacher was a poor Preacher and Millard agreed and said, “I know. I heard him preach last Sunday.” Millard and I stopped off at the Sportsman’s Restaurant one block from the Courthouse Square on the same street as Friedlander’s. We sat down and ordered our coffee without cream. The waitress said, “I’m sorry. We’re out of cream. Y’all have to have your coffee without milk.” That seemed OK with us.

We kept sittin’ there looking at each other and talkin’. Millard reminded Pedro of the old medical remedies that Grandma passed down. He mentioned lettin’ chickens fly over your head for chicken pox, cutting the hair close and rubbing the scalp with kerosene for head lice, mud or tobacco juice for bee stings, soaking the feet in hot water to bring the blood from the head for insomnia, holding turpentine against the gums for toothache, drinking whisky and honey mixed for colds, and Castor Oil for spring cleaning of the body. Millard pointed out that Pedro went off and got educated and didn’t have to use these any more. I reminded Millard

that after taking this medicine, Pedro stayed sick a mighty long time after he was well. Millard said, “Yeah, Pedro. Many times I faked being well to keep from gettin’ treated.” (Note: One should not use any of the above listed treatments without first consulting with your own private physician.)

Millard said that we hardly ever use these old fashioned medical remedies anymore but the country would sure be a lot better off if we once again start using some of Grandma’s old fashioned wisdom. We remembered that Grandma once said that the best way to get ahead is to use the one you’ve got and that a movin’ mouth ain’t necessarily connected with a workin’ brain. Millard mentioned that his favorite sayin’ of Grandma’s wuz that a lotta folks know how to say nuthin’ but only a few know when.

We started ridin’ around in the country jest lookin’ and thinkin’. We drove past Pedro’s old grammar schools at Sunset, Okapilco, and Culbertson. We headed toward Sigsbee and went across the creek by the ole home place where Pedro got his first bicycle. He remembered well. Pedro wanted that bike real bad. One night he was prayin’ for a bicycle out loud — real loud when Mary Alice, his sister, said, “You’re prayin’ too loud and God ain’t deaf.” Pedro responded, “No but Grandma is and she’s in the next room.” Apparently God and Grandma heard. Pedro got the purtiest Hopalong Cassidy bicycle in all Colquitt County and probably the whole wide world.

Millard and Pedro kept drivin’ and the sun started goin’ down. Pedro looked over at Millard and said, “We’re only one generation apart and Moultrie’s only 60 miles from Tallahassee. I miss you both. We’re so close but yet so far apart.”

FOUNDATION

The Impact of Private Support:

The Capital Medical Society Foundation’s community of donors strategically help fulfill its mission “to support the charitable efforts of physicians and others, increase access to healthcare, promote education and serve the community’s health needs through innovative projects that are exemplary, affordable and dignified.”

➢ Access to healthcare is increased through gifts to the We Care Network and the We Care Network Endowment Fund. More than $124 million in donated specialty medical and dental care has been provided to low-income, uninsured patients since the program was created in 1992. In fiscal year 2021-22, which ended June 30, 2022, more than $5 million in healthcare was donated. Gifts support the operational expenses of the program including salaries and benefits of the case management team who coordinate the donated care.

To provide incentives to keep medical students trained at the FSU College of Medicine in the Big Bend after completion of their residencies and help meet the growing demand for physicians in Florida, gifts to the CMS Foundation Scholarship Fund provide scholarships to FSU College of Medicine students who have expressed an interest in returning to the Big Bend to practice after completion of their residencies. $50,000 will be awarded in 2022. An additional $1,000 will be awarded from The Anesthesiology Associates of Tallahassee Scholarship Fund. $1,000 will also be awarded from The Charles D. “Pedro” Williams, M.D. Scholarship Fund. In 2022, the first Julia Revell St. Petery, M.D. Scholarship in Pediatrics was awarded.

➢ Gifts to the Capital Medical Society Foundation help provide operational resources for the Capital Medical Society Foundation. In addition, modest grants are awarded to area non-profits whose programs improve access to healthcare for the underserved. In 2022, the CMSF awarded a total of $10,500 in grants to Elder Care Services for their In-Home Services Program, the Big Bend Hospice Foundation for bereavement services, and to Lutheran Social Services of North Florida, Inc.’s KidSafe program.

Gifts to Honor and In Memoriam:

You can make a gift to the CMS Foundation in memory of someone who has passed away or in honor of someone, such as a fellow physician, you hold in high esteem or has taken care of you or your family. The CMS Foundation will send an acknowledgement letter to those you memorialize and honor.

Please contact Diana Bixler at dbixler@capmed.org or (850) 201-0130 if you are a We Care Network volunteer and you provided volunteer specialty care in the month of August 2022, and your name is omitted.

The We Care Network strongly encourages our volunteer physicians and dentists to send their value of donated services to us. The value of donated services is important for us to share with our funders and the community. In addition, up to five hours, per biennium, of CE credit may be fulfilled by performing pro bono medical and dental services to We Care Network patients, if we have received documentation of value of services. You can send your value of donated services via fax to Diana Bixler at (850) 2010085 or mail to 1204 Miccosukee Road, Tallahassee, FL, 32308. Thank you!
