Meet Adam F. - Author of "Up & Adam: A Patient's Experience on Winning with IBD"

Send us Fan MailThis week we spoke to Adam Finkelstein! Adam was diagnosed with UC when he was just 2 years old. We talk to him about what it was like growing up with UC and dealing with it as a child. We spoke about how his experiences with the medical system prompted his interest in writing a children's book for other kids with IBD called "Up and Adam: A Patient's Experience on Winning with IBD." Also how it sparked his interest in becoming a physician and especially a surgeon. Finally we talked about Adam's experience as a Camp Oasis counselor, how he was able to share his book with all of the kids this summer, and what their reactions were and the conversations it started. Adam was a joy and we think he'll make an extremely empathetic doctor some day soon! Please keep in mind that the views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the speakers and should not be considered medical or legal advice.
