Ozzie was an extremely effective and knowledgeable speaker. He was really so open and honest about all the aspects of his diagnosis and connected in a very genuine way with our students. He expressed so well how fortunate he was in receiving his diagnosis early and stressed that this is not the case for all patients. He was extremely generous in answering questions patiently and clearly. Also it was wonderful to finally have a patient here in person. These speakers make such an impression on our students and make a relatively rare disease real to them. I think students who have this opportunity are so much more likely to remember this disease in the future.
