00:00:02.910 --> 00:00:03.810
<v ->I am Edward Lee</v>

3
00:00:03.810 --> 00:00:06.390
and I'm a family medicine physician.

4
00:00:06.390 --> 00:00:08.640
I attended Johns Hopkins undergrad,

5
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:10.050
then pursued medicine

6
00:00:10.050 --> 00:00:13.350
at Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine.

7
00:00:13.350 --> 00:00:16.350
Then I did my family medicine residency

8
00:00:16.350 --> 00:00:20.310
at the University of Medicine and Dentistry in New Jersey.

9
00:00:20.310 --> 00:00:23.520
After that, I practiced in Illinois for 10 years,

10
00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:26.850
and then I moved to Washington State

11
00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:29.970
where I have been since for the past 12 years.

12
00:00:29.970 --> 00:00:30.960
In my practice,

13
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.810
I see patients 10 years and up,

14
00:00:33.810 --> 00:00:36.630
and I do the full scope of family medicine,

15
00:00:36.630 --> 00:00:38.790
when it comes to well-check,

16
00:00:38.790 --> 00:00:42.180
sports physicals, acute illnesses.

17
00:00:42.180 --> 00:00:45.810
I also specialize more in high blood pressure, diabetes,

18
00:00:45.810 --> 00:00:47.460
and high cholesterol.

19
00:00:47.460 --> 00:00:49.110
I try to take a holistic approach

20
00:00:49.110 --> 00:00:51.330
when it comes to taking care of my patients.

21
00:00:51.330 --> 00:00:53.610
I definitely want to take into consideration

22
00:00:53.610 --> 00:00:56.700
their different cultures, their personal beliefs

23
00:00:56.700 --> 00:00:58.980
when making medical decisions.

24
00:00:58.980 --> 00:01:01.650
I believe that medicine is one of those professions

25
00:01:01.650 --> 00:01:03.960
where my interaction with the person

26
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:05.850
can really make a difference,

27
00:01:05.850 --> 00:01:08.820
not only physically, but emotionally as well.

28
00:01:08.820 --> 00:01:11.760
And I've realized that when it comes in medicine,

29
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.420
there is a interaction between physical and mental,

30
00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:17.970
so treating both is very important.

31
00:01:17.970 --> 00:01:21.480
I've been told that I am gentle and kind,

32
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:23.490
and I want my patients to know

33
00:01:23.490 --> 00:01:26.310
that that is the approach that I will always take

34
00:01:26.310 --> 00:01:28.053
when I treat my patients.

35
00:01:28.053 --> 00:01:30.636
