Medicine X 2015: Ignite! Talk, ePatient Scholar, Julie Flygare

ePatient Scholar, Julie Flygare, presents at Stanford Medicine X at Stanford University on Saturday, September 26, 2015 Julie shares her journey with narcolepsy from facing shame and anger to living proudly as the creator of the NARCOLEPSY: NOT ALONE® campaign (www.NarcolepsyNotAlone.com). In this presentation, she discusses the importance of social support in coping with narcolepsy and encourages medical professionals to prescribe social support in treating chronic and invisible conditions like narcolepsy. Julie believes “I believe that if you are NOT talking to your patients about the importance of social support, you are making a medical error.” Learn more about Julie’s journey with narcolepsy at www.julieflygare.com.
