Michelle's notes from 2019-11-28, five months into her
Pulmonary Critical Care fellowship program at UCSD... and 4 months
before Covid-19 hit hard globally.
I
started the day talking to a very nice 81 year old gentleman who was referred
to us from Stanford for PTE / BPA. He kept telling me how highly Stanford had
spoken of us, and it just reminded me of what a gift it was to work at UCSD and
to be able to have this experience of being one of the premier world centers
for CTEPH. I had been thinking for a hot second that maybe I should have gone
to Stanford – that maybe they had more PAH instead of CTEPH, plus, they have a
phenomenal CF program – but then again, we aren’t referring anyone to Stanford
-:)

Conference -- one of the two largest international conferences in
pulmonary medicine. She had a presentation at the conference, which kind
of marked the end of her fellowship program (it will end at the end of
this month). The official Dr. Michelle will emerge at her real job at a hospital in San Diego in
July.
