Newest Idea

Over the years, I have come up with some fabulous ideas and shared them with people whom I thought would run with them. I pitched my last idea to my daughter Nicole, who works for Red Bull Energy Drink. She got me hooked! I would drink one everyday at 2:00PM; it gave me the focus to finish my work day. I saw a report on how important vitamin B-12 was for maintaining seniors’ memories. From that report, I came up with the idea an energy drink specifically for senior citizens, SILVER BULL®.  Alas, my brilliant idea fell on deaf ears.

Get ready, here is my newest idea! In picking out different doctors during my breast cancer journey, I have found that a doctor’s expertise is not the only important factor; so is their personality. I think it would be a great help to others in similar circumstances to develop a resource for matching patients and doctors based on the compatibility of their personalities and communication styles.

 I chose my oncologist based on a referral from a friend of my daughter. This friend’s mother has a particularly serious cancer. Her doctor told her that her cancer was in remission, but would be back within five years. The family was not happy with this blunt prognosis, thinking it was not what she needed to hear, as it would hamper her will to fight it. I asked my daughter to find out this doctor’s name. Because that is the guy I want.  I want someone to tell it to me straight, and if I do not like what his prognosis is, I will fight to prove him wrong. I go see this doctor Monday morning. I will let you know if my matchmaking works.
