In medicine we always talk about how we learn in two ways – first, through the textbooks and lectures, and then second, through our patients in the hospital. It’s this second kind of learning that creates the lasting impact, and where many doctors first start to feel they are confident understanding these diseases. This presentation allows learners and medical students to begin to develop this deeper kind of understanding for amyloidosis through hearing a patient’s story, and this awareness is key in catching amyloidosis patients earlier, and improving or even saving their lives. I found this talk to be a very valuable educational experience.
