I went out on a limb one day a while back and asked my totally awesome coordinator if she would be willing to answer some interview questions so we, as CF patients could get her perspective on what she does and what we do/do not do as patients. I was threatened with life and limb or something about never getting another Rx again if the photo we took at Great Strides ended up on the Internet, so this post is sans-Sue photo. Instead, I’ve used a photo of a person pretending to be Sue. Just so we’re clear – this is not Sue (of course, she knows that!), so I can continue to receive treatment at my CF center.
She warned me of her rambling answers, but after reading through them, I have editorially decided to leave them be, and de-labeled them as rambling. It’s rather a stream of consciousness that makes perfect sense. I think they tell an interesting story that I’d never heard, and I’m sure most of you haven’t either.
Fatboy: Ok, so I know you’re an RN, but how did you get so darn good at being a coordinator with all of the administrative things that you do? You’re undoubtedly one of the reasons I’ve been able to get and remain compliant because of easy e-mail access to the doctors through you. Before it was like jumping through hoops to get meds or an appointment. Did you set out to change that or was that why you were selected as the new coordinator. Mad props to your administrative abilities. I couldn’t do your job.
