Dr. Sroga and Classmates,
I truly found this week’s reading material interesting and thought provoking. As future
practitioners, it is essential that we ensure an accurate family history assessment is conducted on
patients to determine if they are at a higher risk for health problems. It is also our responsibility
to determine these risks and inform the patient regarding their options. My paternal side of my
family has terrible health problems ranging from strokes, hypertension, cancers, and
Alzheimer’s. My primary health care provider is aware of this family history and has utilized
primary and secondary prevention measures to help me avoid them. She has recently talked to
me about genetic testing to determine if I have the Alzheimer’s gene. My husband and I are still
discussing whether or not I will have the testing done. I am torn on what to do and am not sure
which choice I will make. I do not want to live my life in fear of the future, yet I also want to
know to be able to fight it and prepare myself. My situation has made me stop and think how I
would handle a patient situation similar to mine if I were the provider. Do you feel in these types
of situations that genetic testing should be done or not? I look forward to hearing your opinions.
Sincerely,
LaKeshia Jones
