everyone who would listen about what I saw. I’ll remember this

Senator Ernie Harris was partnered with Ophthalmologist Dr. Frank
Burns and praised the program profusely. “I’ve been in the Senate
for 32 years, and this is one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever
done,” he said. “The dedication I experienced was superb. Please
let me know how I can help make the work these doctors do easier.”
Dr. Roberts closed the evening by saying, “I first want to thank all
of our physician preceptors for helping us facilitate this program.
Next, I wish to thank each of our guests for participating, and congratulate you on being the newly graduated class of the 2016 Wear
the White Coat program. It is my sincere hope that you are walking
away with a better understanding of what it’s like to be a practicing
physician and that we find a way to continue a two-way dialogue
about health-related challenges.”
There were numerous touching and illuminating stories told throughout the night and GLMS will be sharing many more in the January
edition of Louisville Medicine. Also, we’re very excited to announce
that KET filmed portions of the Pre-Op breakfast, the Post-Op dinner
and a pair of shadowings for a future program. We’ll be supplying
more information about that development as it becomes available.
