| Popis: | In this column, I share my experience as a “patient;” carrier of neoplasia type APUD cells and other illnesses; the effects in my lifestyle and project; the loss of consciousness due to an infection of golden Staphylococcus and the acuteness of the occasional difficulties in intellectual activities; the impact of parenteral nutrition; my becoming an “impatient”; and improving my quality of life and intellectual functions. I am an “impatient”/patient of the Edgardo Rebagliati National Hospital of EsSalud, Lima, Peru, and a carrier of a neoplasia of APUD cells, VIPOMA type, that currently is not operable. Since March 1998 I have been going to the Unit of Nutritional Support (USNA) because of malnutrition. My physician, Mario Ferreyra, MD, invited me to present my experience with artificial nutrition support at the first annual congress in Lima during July and August 2001. Sister Lee Varella asked me to share that testimony in Nutrition. My insistence and persistence in writing this essay is my way of thanking the doctors and nurses who have improved my quality of life. |
