Susan Kim, m\u00e9dica<\/a>, hematologista e oncologista.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"Todos foram muito simp\u00e1ticos e conhecedores, incluindo o pessoal cl\u00ednico e de apoio do centro oncol\u00f3gico\", disse Jim. \"Tamb\u00e9m encontrei consolo no seu ambiente calmo e edificante.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ao longo do seu tratamento m\u00e9dico, tanto ele como a sua esposa Janet valorizaram a comunica\u00e7\u00e3o e a colabora\u00e7\u00e3o como partes essenciais do processo e elogiaram a equipa por dar prioridade a estes elementos dos cuidados. Jim apreciou especialmente a forma como ambos os seus m\u00e9dicos forneceram informa\u00e7\u00f5es pormenorizadas de uma forma humana e cient\u00edfica, assegurando sempre que havia tempo para as suas perguntas e preocupa\u00e7\u00f5es.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depois de ter sido submetido a uma cirurgia intensiva como primeiro passo do seu tratamento, Jim regressou ao centro de cancro para um regime rigoroso de radia\u00e7\u00e3o di\u00e1ria durante cinco semanas, combinado com terapia hormonal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Querendo mostrar o seu profundo apre\u00e7o pela sua equipa de cuidados, Jim reconheceu-os atrav\u00e9s do programa Southcoast Health Grateful Patient, atribuindo a ambos os seus fornecedores uma Southcoast Star. Este reconhecimento destaca o enorme cuidado que o Dr. Kumar e o Dr. Kim forneceram ao longo de sua jornada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00c1vido cantor, Jim tamb\u00e9m encontrou uma forma \u00fanica de celebrar a conclus\u00e3o de um tratamento de radia\u00e7\u00e3o durante a sua cerim\u00f3nia de \"tocar o sino\". Levantou o \u00e2nimo dos doentes e dos prestadores de cuidados de sa\u00fade ao interpretar uma can\u00e7\u00e3o de marinheiro a que chama apropriadamente \"Strike the Bell\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Atualmente, Jim continua a dedicar-se aos seus passatempos de cantar, remar com a equipa Gray Buzzards Whaleboat Team e dar longos passeios a Fort Phoenix em Fairhaven com Janet e o seu c\u00e3o Charlie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"J\u00e1 comecei a compor a letra da minha pr\u00f3xima cantiga do mar para cantar ao pessoal na minha pr\u00f3xima visita.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
