| 0:00.0 | Welcome everyone to this week's edition of The Lindsay Elmore Show. Getting a major illness diagnosis |
| 0:06.5 | can come with denial, dealing with unexpected setbacks, and complications. It also can cause |
| 0:16.3 | changes to self-image relationships with spouses and friends and family. And it also can be a turning |
| 0:25.1 | point where you use it and use the reflection on the major illness to actually enrich your |
| 0:34.6 | life. My guest today is Dr. Andrew Kedar, and we're going to talk about how his |
| 0:41.3 | diagnosis changed his perspective on life, how we can communicate more effectively with our doctors |
