My philosophy: attitude is everything

Canadian Eric Polsinelli is married with two children. In 2008 he was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease, and had his ileostomy done on August 21st of 2013. He was invited by B. Braun to the WCET 2016 in Cape Town to speak about his story and the experience he have had as ostomate. Here is the presentation he gave at the B. Braun breakfast symposium during the WCET conference on March 15, 2016.

„I think it is very easy to become a victim when you are a patient, but I don’t think that this serves aswell. If you have a positive mindset, you can really do anything you want. … Don’t let your ostomy be a barrier!“
