My name is Kara Wada and I'm a allergy immunology
physician and I work at the Ohio State Wexner
Medical Center.
So I've always had an interest in science
and taking care of people, and I love meeting
people and talking with different individuals
and I like helping people feel better in their
everyday lives.
Allergy and immunology is really on the cutting
edge of medicine.
We see how little cells scattered throughout
our body can really make a huge impact in
our symptoms and and how we feel on a day-to-day
basis.
And there's a lot of innovative treatment
options that are coming our way as well to
help take care of conditions in this field.
I love working with a very collaborative and
scientific group of individuals that all are
focused on helping treat the patient in a
personalized and cutting-edge manner.
And I think that that's one of the unique
and wonderful things about working at Ohio
State University.
One of the things that I really pride myself
on is I try my best to listen and to hear
what the patient is saying and what the what
symptoms are bothering them the most because
I think it's important to understand what
symptoms are impacting their quality of life
so that we can work together to formulate
a treatment plan to help make those symptoms
improved and help them feel better.
I find it most rewarding to have a patient
come back and let me know that they are feeling
considerably better, that they're able to
go about their day-to-day activities, playing
with their children, going out for a run,
doing things that maybe they were not able
to do to their fullest abilities prior to
treatment.
So that's really what makes my day and and
really helps, has really made this job very
rewarding for me.
