This week has been another excellent escapade, and as any legal nurse consultant (LNC) will tell you, that’s a typical week for us (especially when DMEs (defense medical exams) are involved)!

DMEs offer a chance to get out and explore as well as a fascinating glimpse into the world of medicine. Meeting new specialists, observing exams, and understanding the intricacies of various medical fields is a constant learning experience. It’s a chance to see expertise in action in pursuit of justice.

This week, the adventure took an extra special turn when half way through the week, on Wednesday I found myself participating in a “Live” chat on @Building or Rebuilding with none other than my very own granddaughter (aka “LeeLee the Chickadee)! We had a blast discussing recent LNC wins – hers and mine of course.

I was so proud as she talked about her academic and athletic achievements, most recently completing this summer’s Junior Lifeguard program – a true champion in the making . We were both feeling incredibly inspired, her by her accomplishment and me by her boundless energy and unstoppable determination.

“I don’t wanna be another wave in the ocean

I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder
I ain’t a soldier, but I’m here to take a stand
Because we can”
