The city in which you live....

Juliet · Dec 11, 2008

1. Which center were you seen/are seen at and what did you think of the overall care and infection control policies of the CF center in your city?
I go to the Adult CF Clinic at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. They're the ones who finally diagnosed my CF at age 43! I've never been left waiting for more than a few minutes before I've been whisked back into another room. When scheduling me there have been occasions that they've called to make my appt earlier or later if there's another patient coming in with B.Cepacia (which I don't have). There are hand sanitizers hanging all over the place and the docs and nurses all uses them (as do the patients).

2. Did they allow you to do home health for clean outs or were you required to stay inpatient?
I've only had one round of IVs and they let me do them at home. They are very accommodating to my work and travel schedule.

3. How was the air quality in the city you lived in?
I live on the Chesapeake Bay near Annapolis. No issues there. I work in Crystal City VA which sometimes in the summer has 'red' days, but since I'm in an office it's not an issue.

4. How did the weather affect your CF in the city you lived in?
Biggest issue here is allergies. But I'm going through the multiyear densitization treatments (weekly allergy shots) and it's doing really well.

5. How close did you live to the city with the CF center?
About 20 minutes to drive there, another 15 to find a parking spot in the garage. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

6. Was it a large center, i.e. over 150+ patients, or relatively small?
The CF center is large, and I think the adult center has over 300 patients. They have a dedicated adult CF team who are very active in research. I've been really impressed and I'm not the wall flower type. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

7. Did they listen to you and include you in decision-making and treat you with respect?
Oh yes. I'm very much an interactive part of my health care. They are always responsive to questions on their CF hotline, via e-mail or phone and in person. I've never felt that I've been blown off or that they're just doing the 'standard' treatment regimen for me. Everything has been tailored specifically for me and my CF.

8. Did your center offer clinical trials?
Yes, but I've not had the opportunity to be involved in one yet. I was only recently diagnosed.

9. Did your center have a lung transplant center?
I think so - they are part of Johns Hopkins Hospital which is HUGE. I've seen a few episodes of a TV show called Hopkins which is filmed at JH.

10. Were you able to reach someone right away if you were sick and be seen within a reasonable amount of time?
Yes. They do clinic appts Tues & Thurs. I haven't had to be seen in between, but I remember them telling me that they are accessible (not sure of the protocol there). They're very good about returning phone calls and calling in meds over the phone if needed.

11. If applicable, have you talked to your center regarding pregnancy, and if so, how did they react to CFer's desires to be a mommy? (women only)
Nope. I already have 1 daughter (and I didn't know I had CF back then). Just guessing here, but knowing the 3 adult CF docs I think they'd take an individual look at my situation and have a very frank discussion about it with me, giving me their opinions and perspectives.

Thanks, Juliet! Amazing info. and just what I'm looking for! I can tell this is going to be a TOUGH decision....

Thank you all for being so candid in your discussions of your centers. It will be a HUGE help and will play a crucial role in determining where we put on our list. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Mockingbird · Dec 12, 2008

1. Which center were you seen/are seen at and what did you think of the overall care and infection control policies of the CF center in your city?

Denver; National Jewish. Overall care and everything is good. They just remodeled recently, so they have lots of rooms.

2. Did they allow you to do home health for clean outs or were you required to stay inpatient?

Yes, you can stay at home or stay at university hospital.

3. How was the air quality in the city you lived in?

Not great; the pollution can be pretty bad sometimes.

4. How did the weather affect your CF in the city you lived in?

Winters are difficult. We can get really cold winds that make it impossible to breathe. The air is always dry, which is good for preventing infection, but it can be hard to cough stuff up. Mornings can be very difficult because of the dryness.

5. How close did you live to the city with the CF center?

I live in it.

6. Was it a large center, i.e. over 150+ patients, or relatively small?

I don't know. They seem to have a lot of patients. There are four CF docs plus an endocrinologist.

7. Did they listen to you and include you in decision-making and treat you with respect?

Yes.

8. Did your center offer clinical trials?

Yes; National Jewish has its own clinical research unit and they're doing clinical trials all the time.

9. Did your center have a lung transplant center?

I think so.

10. Were you able to reach someone right away if you were sick and be seen within a reasonable amount of time?

Yes, absolutely

11. If applicable, have you talked to your center regarding pregnancy, and if so, how did they react to CFer's desires to be a mommy? (women only)

Seem to be a lot of denver-dwellers here! LOL...

So with regard to the pollution, do you think its worse than any large city or about the same? We have ozone days and particulate matter days here in Vegas and days with blowing dust advisories, which are horrible. So, I'm kinda used to crappy air. I realize really any metropolis with an accredited center is going to have fairly poor air quality some of the time. But, how often does the smog restrict your outdoor activities in Denver?

Also, is the air as dry as a desert? I am fairly used to being in a dry climate living in Vegas, so don't know that THAT in particular would be much different.

Does it rain in Denver very often? Like in the summer? Do you get thunderstorms, etc.? I miss those...

Thanks again!

We're really seriously considering putting Denver as our top choice since that (and one Baltimore) are the only places people seem to be offering info. about and it seems to be all good.

.... Keep 'em coming!
Thanks!

Seem to be a lot of denver-dwellers here! LOL...

So with regard to the pollution, do you think its worse than any large city or about the same? We have ozone days and particulate matter days here in Vegas and days with blowing dust advisories, which are horrible. So, I'm kinda used to crappy air. I realize really any metropolis with an accredited center is going to have fairly poor air quality some of the time. But, how often does the smog restrict your outdoor activities in Denver?

Also, is the air as dry as a desert? I am fairly used to being in a dry climate living in Vegas, so don't know that THAT in particular would be much different.

Does it rain in Denver very often? Like in the summer? Do you get thunderstorms, etc.? I miss those...

Thanks again!

We're really seriously considering putting Denver as our top choice since that (and one Baltimore) are the only places people seem to be offering info. about and it seems to be all good.

.... Keep 'em coming!
Thanks!
