Patricia Mullinix Discusses Her Experiences as both a Patient and a Caregiver
Patricia Mullinix attended school for nursing in 1973. She earned an associate degree in nursing from Eastern Kentucky University and later a bachelor of science in nursing from the University of Kentucky. Over the course of the next 34 years, she worked at Central Baptist Hospital, where she served in the orthopedics, neurological surgery and medical-surgical divisions. Then, the Friday before she was scheduled for orientation at Eastern State Hospital as a psychiatric bedside nurse, Patricia Mullinix went in for a routine mammogram and learned that she had cancer. By the end of 2007, Ms. Mullinix had undergone a double mastectomy and several rounds of chemotherapy. Genetic testing performed in 2009 indicated that she was a gene carrier for the cancer, and she made the difficult decision to go under the knife once again to remove her ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus in a drastic hysterectomy to prevent the return of tumors elsewhere in her body. Today, Ms. Mullinix is happy to report that she is cancer-free.

Hi Patricicia,
It is most beneficial to have had the experience of actually being a patient. It makes for much easier recognition of what others are going through and hence an ease of rapport with those who need it the most.
