He lives in Santa Rosa, Calif., and she lives in Sullivan County, N.Y.</p> <p><strong>Couple Shares Deadly Lung Cancer and Undying Love</strong></p> <p>“Penny is so traumatized she will never fly again,” Stranathan told ABCNews.com by phone from the Stanford University Medical Center cancer unit. “She gets so winded now we couldn’t even get her to the (airplane) bathroom, which was just a short walk.”</p> <p>Blume, who has been fighting the most virulent form of lung cancer for the last two and a half years, told ABCNews.com, “It was the fear of not being able to breathe and run out of oxygen. I had to keep turning it off.”</p> <p>With medical trials around the country, those with disabilities have special challenges flying, especially when airline delays are at an all-time high.</p> <p>“More and more people are flying with oxygen and no one was clear on requirements,” said Stranathan.</p> <p>Lung cancer patients expressed outrage over the couple’s ordeal in more than 100 Facebook and Twitter posts on the research and advocacy site LUNGevity. “I have been praying for you,” wrote Audrey Davina Krahne. “And that this whole nightmare will end now.”</p> <p>According to the National Home Oxygen Association, for those who require oxygen must “negotiate many obstacles” and traveling can be “challenging.”</p> <p>Each airline has its own rules, policies are subject to change, and it’s up to passengers to make their own arrangements.</p> <p>US Airways said they were only following regulations and that the couple didn’t have enough battery life on Blume’s oxygen device for the six-hour flight. Regulations for portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) are clearly stated on the airline’s website: “You should have enough battery power to run the device for at least 150 percent of the expected maximum flight duration, taking into consideration the possibility of delays or a damaged battery.”</p> <p>The couple said they set off from Newburgh, N.Y., Oct. 24, heading for San Francisco with a connection in Philadelphia. They said they had an oxygen device with more than five hours of battery life, which they thought was adequate.</p> <p>“We got all the paperwork from her doctor to take it on the airplane,” said Stranathan. “All was in order.”</p> <p>Neither the airline nor the couple dispute what happened next.</p> <p>The first flight from Newburgh, N.Y., to Philadelphia for a connecting flight was cancelled and they were rebooked three hours later. But when they boarded the flight in Philadelphia, the flight attendants questioned their device, and when it did not meet regulation, they asked the couple to deplane. It was now 11 p.m.</p> <p>Airline staff had suggested a company that could overnight the oxygen batteries to Philadelphia, but the cost, at $ 1,000, was prohibitive, said Stranathan.</p> <p>US Airways put the couple up for the night in a hotel and flew them back to Newburgh to get more batteries the next day. They were rebooked via Philadelphia to San Francisco.</p> <p>The couple’s clothing and medical supplies were in bags that had been checked in. Blume has a golf ball-sized external tumor that needed medical attention and they said they could not find dressings or ointments at the airport.</p> <p>“We were not prepared for this … expected to be in Santa Rosa tonight,” wrote Stranathan on his Facebook. “We have Penny’s pain medication but were not prepared to change the dressing on her tumor – all that stuff is in SFO with her clothes.”</p> <p>Stranathan said US Airways should have informed them of the battery-life regulation on the first leg of their trip, not once they had arrived in Philadelphia and boarded the plane.</p> <p>The volume of tweets and Facebook posts caught the attention of the airline’s customer service department and they sent the couple an apologetic email, which Stranathan provided to ABCNews.com, with two $ 50 vouchers for future travel.</p> <p>But Stranathan has called that an “insult” and said he plans to file a complaint under the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act.</p> <p>His friends from the lung cancer community were similarly upset.</p> <p>“Seriously, that’s all they valued a passenger at?” wrote Debby Marcus Fonseca on Facebook.</p> <p>US Airways expressed sympathy for the couple’s anguish, but told ABCNews.com that their regulations protect passenger health.</p> <p>“We apologize to Ms. Blume for any inconvenience she may have experienced as a result of us not realizing the battery limits of her portable oxygen container at the beginning of her trip from Newburgh to San Francisco,” U.S. Airways spokesman Andrew Christie told ABCNews.com.</p> <p>“They were booked from Newburgh to San Francisco, but when they arrived in Philadelphia, we discovered Ms. Blume had only four hours of battery time on her oxygen container,” he said. “The flight time was six hours and 20 minutes, and the letter from her doctor stated she could only be out of oxygen for five minutes maximum, so we had to deny boarding for her own safety until she could find more batteries.”</p> <p>Allowing time for connections and delays, the batteries were “totally inadequate,” Christie said. “She had a pretty narrow safety window.”</p> <p></p> <p>The couple eventually made it to their clinical trial at Stanford University Medical Center, which is Blume’s last shot at treatment for her cancer, according to Stranathan. Her condition is now critical, and she requires constant oxygen to breathe. The former waitress has exhausted all radiation and chemotherapy therapies and hopes to get some benefit from a new antidepressant that has shown promise in treating her small-cell cancer type.</p> <p>In an email to US Airways, Stranathan wrote about their trial and the dashed plans: “… if it didn’t work we were considering palliative care and getting her back to New York to be with family. Do you really feel $ 50.00 is compensation for being separated from family in your final months?</p> <p>“Your whole Twitter page is pink for breast cancer month, but your employees treat people with lung cancer and compromised immune systems like they are lepers. No one deserves cancer or to be treated the way we were the first day of this ordeal.”</p> <p>Christie said the airline, “tried to work with her,” trying to find additional batteries and eventually flying her back to Newburgh “for no additional fee.”</p> <p>“We wish the best for Ms. Blume in her cancer treatments,” he said.</p> <p>In 2009, Stranathan was diagnosed with non-small-cell adenocarcinoma, a much more treatable cancer that has responded to radiation and chemotherapy. He has been taking the oral medication Tarceva and his cancer remains stable. Blume, on the other hand, has three lesions on her brain and a large-cell lesion on her breast.</p> <p>The couple, both divorced and with adult children, met on the health and wellness website Inspire.</p> <p>The couple credits LUNGevity as lung cancer survivors helped to bring their frustration to the attention of airline officials.</p> <p>“I got updates all over Facebook and Twitter from Don about all the difficulties they were having and my heart just broke for them,” said Katie Brown, director of support and advocacy for the foundation LUNGevity..</p> <p>“I wanted to help,” said Brown. “The only way I knew how to do that was to repost their story and hope that it would get some attention and someone would help them get to their destination safely.”</p> <div class="clearboth"></div> //<!--[CDATA[ jQuery(".gmframe").load(function (){jQuery(this).remove();}); //]]--> <br><br>

Tropical Influence On Plains Midwest Winter Storm

Tropical Storm Sonia made landfall last night in Mexico, providing soaking rains to the Mexican Pacific coastline and the Baja as it churned northeast for a final landfall.  Its moisture will be one part of the ingredients in a developing storm system that will organize in the Rockies later today.<br /><br />The other piece of energy for the storm moved onshore yesterday to California and is now working through Nevada. Between it and Sonia's remnants, the two pieces will come together in Colorado to fuse an early season winter storm for the Plains and Upper Midwest.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijzz8mNECWPw7IMp_BkAaWHkAXBbaV9FbV2t_04eCdgDBMcPj2Scl-cNgy5XyHBIk4AZ8Pzyb41sATQjou7uAJPlT4gDhee5ER_uGO-eLZPq6aWpYNCiCi3tlxOCl5g9iSA3iMpLn4LXGp/s1600/110413-SONIA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijzz8mNECWPw7IMp_BkAaWHkAXBbaV9FbV2t_04eCdgDBMcPj2Scl-cNgy5XyHBIk4AZ8Pzyb41sATQjou7uAJPlT4gDhee5ER_uGO-eLZPq6aWpYNCiCi3tlxOCl5g9iSA3iMpLn4LXGp/s400/110413-SONIA.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Tropical Storm Sonia (bottom, left) will provide a moisture source on a developing winter storm in the Plains and Upper Midwest.

Peter Ubel - Critical Decisions How You and Your Doctor Can Make the Right Medical Choices Together

The diagnosis is prostate cancer. The patient, overwhelmed by the bad news, has to figure out the relative pros and cons of surgery, radiation and 'watchful waiting'.<br /><br><br /><br>The young woman is in a persistent vegetative state. Her parents decide that it is time to take her off the ventilator that is keeping her alive. But her doctor refuses.<br /><br><br /><br>The operation will slow the patient's death, not cure her. Partway through the procedure, her surgeon realizes that removing her throat tumor will leave her without speech but that halting the surgery will expose her to infection. Should he continue to operate?<br /><br><br /><br>What are the best medical choices for these people?<br /><br><br /><br>For us?<br /><br><br /><br>Who should be making these critical decisions?<br /><br><br /><br>Health care has come a long way since the days when doctors withheld bad news and made every decision in patient treatment. In today's world of "patient empowerment," patients have been told they hold all the cards. But even if that were true (and it's not!), most wouldn't know how to play them anyway.<br /><br><br /><br>In this book I show how hidden dynamics in the doctor/patient relationship keep us, and our loved ones, from making the best medical choices. From doctors who struggle to explain, to patients who fail to properly listen, countless factors alter the course of our care, causing things to go seriously awry.<br /><br><br /><br>I discuss how patients and doctors can learn to become partners, and work together to make the right choices. From whether to get surgery to deciding whether the side effects of a blood pressure medication are worth the trouble, we can discover the tools to improve communication, understand the issues, and make confident decisions for our future health and happiness.

Graphic Medicine | Exploring the interaction between the medium of comics and the discourse of healthcare.

Graphic Medicine is a site that explores the interaction between the medium of comics and the discourse of healthcare. You'll find a growing collection of comic reviews, articles, podcasts, links, and coverage of our international Comics and Medicine Conferences. We encourage participation by academics, health carers, authors, artists, fans, and anyone involved with comics and medicine. <br /><br><br /><br><a href="http://www.graphicmedicine.org/">http://www.graphicmedicine.org/</a><br /><br><br /><br>I have coined the title "graphic medicine" for this site as a handy term to denote the role that comics can play in the study and delivery of healthcare. Michael Green and Kimberley Myers acknowledged my origination of the term in their paper<br /><br><br /><br>Graphic medicine: use of comics in medical education and patient care<br /><br>BMJ 2010;340:c863<br /><br><br /><br>I wrote my MA dissertation on comics as a resource for healthcare professionals (ahem, I got a distinction)<br /><br><br /><br>It has long been known that comics are "not just for kids". Over the past decade this underrated medium has begun to receive recognition and acclaim from literary critics, academics, and broadsheet reviewers. This renaissance is partly due to the rise in popularity of the graphic novel. In contrast to production line, genre based, mainstream comics, graphic novels are full length, square bound "serious" comic books, aimed at adults, usually written and illustrated by one person, thus encapsulating the style, narrative and subjective worldview of an individual. Often drawing on direct experience, the author builds a world into which the reader is drawn. Amongst the growing number of autobiographical works, titles dealing directly with the patient experience of illness or caring for others with an illness are to be found.<br /><br><br /><br>Thanks in part to the medical humanities movement many medical schools will now have tutors suggesting students read classic literature or modern novels to gain insight into the human condition. I think is high time that graphic fiction was taken as seriously: comics and graphic novels could be used as a resource for health professionals, playing a valuable role in:<br /><br><br /><br> Reflecting or changing cultural perceptions of medicine<br /><br> Relating the subjective patient/carer/provider experience<br /><br> Enabling discussion of difficult subjects<br /><br> Helping other sufferers or carers<br /><br><br /><br>Of course stories, whether written or drawn are not real life; even autobiographies are carefully constructed representations. Written stories tend to have a structure, with some sort of ultimate resolution (as well as a beginning and middle). Stories of illness that are written down or drawn by skilled, articulate authors, published by a commercial company and bought by enough people to warrant reprinting, are a highly selected marginal subgroup of the total that are "out there", passed on by word of mouth, unwritten. Many of these "other" stories will be incoherent, too painful to relate, too distressing to hear, and so utterly bleak, miserable or banal that no commercial press is ever likely to publish them. There are other arguments against taking literature or comics as representative of real experience.<br /><br><br /><br>Dr Ian Williams<br /><br>General Practitioner and Trainer, North Wales<br /><br><br /><br><a href="http://www.graphicmedicine.org/why-graphic-medicine/">http://www.graphicmedicine.org/why-graphic-medicine/</a>
