Aug. 17 was a special day for anyone who loved Dr. Elson Floyd, visionary president of WSU who literally made a medical school for the Inland Northwest a reality. It was the day we welcomed the 60 students accepted into the first class of our new medical school. <\/p>\n
Every wish for success goes out to these students, dedicated to primary care in the underserved areas of Washington. People like me who searched for years for a diagnosis for this serious illness, only at last to find that the proper diagnosis was a difficult to identify and treat terminal condition called pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs) resulting in certain death if untreated and a long, slow decline to death if identified and treated. <\/p>\n
As the founder and still leader of the Inland NW PH Support Group, composed of patients, medical personnel, caregivers and community supporters, I can tell everyone that we are thrilled to have the doors open to our new medical school. We will cheer the potential for a new crop of doctors, dedicated to people like us. <\/p>\n
The only thing to make us happier would have been to have Dr. Floyd with us to celebrate. <\/p>\n
