Kate Miriam Granger is an English doctor who started the (#hellomynameis ) campaign. She works at the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust. She was diagnosed with Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor, a type of sarcoma, in 2011 when she was 29 while training to become a geriatrician. She first became ill when on holiday in California with her husband Chris Pointon. She was treated in the Emergency Room in Santa Cruz when her kidneys failed. She returned to Leeds and was given further tests. When she was told the diagnosis she knew that DSRCT that had metastasized had "an utterly dismal prognosis". She was treated with P6 protocol chemotherapy and endured a great deal of very unpleasant treatment which she has described in detail.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://sarcomahelp.org/stories/dsrct-kate.html )〕 She describes how the news that her condition was incurable was broken to her: ‘If you can put yourself in my position – I’m 29 years old, I know I’ve got cancer, I think it’s confined to my abdomen so I’m expecting to have an operation, maybe some chemotherapy and possibly a cure. I’m in a side room. I can hear everything that’s going on outside. I’m in pain and alone. A junior doctor comes to see me to talk to me about the results of the MRI scan I’d had earlier in the week. I’d never met this doctor before. He came into my room, he sat down in the chair next to me and looked away from me. Without any warning or asking if I wanted anyone with me he just said, “Your cancer has spread”. He then could not leave the room quick enough and I was left in deep psychological distress. I never saw him again. I am a little bit psychologically scarred by that experience.’ ==#hellomynameis campaign== She subsequently started the #hellomynameis campaign,〔(#hellomynameis website )〕 chiefly using Twitter, where she now has (over 35,000 followers ), and the (hashtag #hellomynameis ), to encourage healthcare staff to introduce themselves to patients. The campaign has been endorsed by more than 400,000 doctors, nurses, therapists, receptionists and porters across over 90 organisations, including NHS Trusts across England, NHS Scotland and NHS Wales. She has spoken passionately at many health conferences and her campaign is supported by the Prime Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, many celebrities, and a huge number of leaders in health organisations. She was awarded an MBE in the 2015 New Year Honours. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kate Granger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
