Patients for a Moment hosted at Sick Momma blog

My good friend Aviva of SickMomma hosts this week's Patients for a Moment blog carnival.  Aviva wanted to know what people look for in a doctor.  Head on over to see what folks had to say.  Our diseases may be different, but our stories can be very similar.

Thanks for hosting, Aviva!  We will definitely have to meet at some point in the future.  Being thisclose will not do next time.  LOL. 

Patient Blog Carnival

Patients for a Moment is up at Leslie's blog, Getting Closer to Myself.  Go check it out!

Sara hosts Patients for a Moment - Disclosure

To tell, or not to tell? When it comes to a chronic or serious health issue, that is one sticky question. And if you do decide to tell, what happens next?

Sara of The Single Gal's Guide to Rheumatoid Arthritis hosts this week's Patients for a Moment blog carnival. She posed the question of disclosure for bloggers to ponder.

The contributions share "an array of thoughtful responses, reactions and reflections on the subject." Go check it out and consider participating in the next round in two weeks.
