Diagnosis – Naomi

 

Naomi learned she had heart failure by reading it on a whiteboard.

Transcript

While I was in the hospital on my whiteboard there was ‘CHF’ and I could not for the life of me guess what that meant. I was like ‘is that cardiac heart function’ and like that was the only thing that I want to think and so one day I asked my nurse what CHF stands for and she said ‘congestive heart failure’. I was like ‘OK’, like it just went in one ear and out the other and I was like ‘heart failure? OK whatever – that makes no sense –  that means nothing to me’.
