PEARL (People Empowerment for ARthritis and Lupus) forum was held last 11 March 2012 at St. Luke's Medical Center, QC, CHBC 14th floor Auditorium II. Around 110 participants came, consisting of patients with lupus and inflammatory arthritis together with their caregivers. Hosted, by the SLMC fellow Dr. James Bermas, the group was divided into four small groups, with 3 facilitators per group: one patient and 2 rheumatology fellows. Guided by questions, each group is tasked to share their thoughts regarding the people they trust and the qualities that they admire.. At the end of the group sharing, a summary of their answers were discussed with the big group.
Unforgettable and inspiring statements from the patients:
“I can be trusted because:
- My faith is strong
- I am a good listener
- I fulfill my promise
- I can relate
- I am stronger than I look” |
