Dr. Thomas Higgins encourages patient advocacy at Kentucky Medical Association Annual Meeting![]() Dr. Thomas Higgins attended the 2015 Kentucky Medical Association meeting in Louisville, KY this weekend. He hopes to help patients have the voice to receive proper medical care throughout the Commonwealth. As the President of the Kentucky Society of Otolaryngology, Dr. Higgins wants to promote awareness of the needs for treatment of diseases like chronic sinusitis, recurrent ear infections, and head and neck cancer. Some of these medical issues are rare (head and neck cancer) or not immediately life-threatening (chronic sinusitis), so they are not always considered as important as other diseases. But we know they are! The people who live with these problems know all-to-well how debilitating they can be! Along with Dr. Higgins, Dr. Bruce Scott and Dr. Sean Miller attended the meeting and represented Kentuckiana Ear, Nose & Throat, PSC proudly! Congratulations are in order to Dr. Scott (pictured with Dr. Higgins) for serving as Speaker of the House of Delegates for the KMA. ![]()
