SUMMARY:Film Screening and Panel Discussion: N of 1
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of N of 1\, followed by a panel discussion with the Director!\n\n\n5:30 – 6:30 PM Reception with light food and refreshments\n6:30 – 8:00 PM Film Screening in the Hall of Murals\n8:00 – 9:00 PM  Panel Discussion with Director Bernard Friedman\, Artist and Scholar Megan Euker\, and Jacob Taunton\, whose story is featured in the film.\nDoors will close at 9:30 PM.\nSometimes\, in medicine\, innovation can come from unexpected sources. N of 1 follows a striking mix of characters on an international journey to save the life of Kayte\, a 26-year-old from Alabama\, whose doctors had run out of options for treating her rare\, highly lethal liver cancer. Via a Facebook group for the few people in the world sharing her diagnosis\, Kayte connects with Howard\, a Canadian electronics businessman with no medical training\, who has doubled in his spare time as a patient advocate\, often scouring medical journals to understand cancer better to help patients like her. Howard recruits for Kayte a pioneering immunologist from Israel and renowned transplant surgeon from England to travel to India\, where Kayte will undergo a first-of-its-kind procedure to save her life\, and possibly dramatically advance traditional cancer treatment as we know it. This experimental treatment\, a partial bone marrow transplant followed by a live liver transplant\, may have pushed the regulatory boundaries of evidence-based medicine. But when you’re an N of 1 — a singular patient\, dying from a very rare and little researched disease — in the words of Kayte\, to get to a cure\, “someone has to be the first to say ‘I’ll try it.’” \nFilm website: https://www.nof1film.com/ \nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Nof1film  \nInstagram: @nof1film  \n*** \nLight refreshments are included and alcohol will be served to guests with proof of age.
