“When I shared my hospital stay experience on social media, some friends reached out to me and shared their unexpected diagnoses with illnesses including cancer and diabetes even at a young age.
Some expressed regret at not having made plans earlier, as they became uninsurable after a major diagnosis.
It is my hope that others and myself will find the right amount of insurance, safety nets and planning to meet their needs, as being under or over-insured can have costly outcomes.
In the end, no matter how physically active, accomplished or emotionally strong one is, nobody is invincible. “
As someone who has been through medical school and currently working as a doctor, I thought I fully understood the importance of being empathetic to those going through a hard time because of their medical conditions.
