Episode 41: Megan Starshak - Ulcerative Colitis

 

Megan was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at 18 years old. Although she was diagnosed relatively quickly, what followed was a 6-year battle to find a doctor that would give her the attention she deserved. During that time, her quality of life went downhill, losing the ability to practice the sports she loved and losing some friends along the way. We discuss the voice of the patient in this interview, as Megan has taken part in Crohn's and Colitis Foundation's Day on the Hill twice.

The song Megan selected is You Will Be Found from the Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen.
