HIV Patients
I switched my schedule at the health center to provide care to patients with HIV. I found it to be rewarding experience. The health center's patients lack health insurance which adds to the heavy burden of HIV. Every patient I cared for were so upbeat and feeling well.
I expected to see sad, sick and emaciated people. This was not the case. Almost every patient appeared strong vigorous and managing the disease extremely well. During my interviews, these patients reported only the minor headache. Wow, perhaps patients and providers in partnership managing a disease for improved quality of life. I am going back this week and cannot wait.
