      Dr. Ellison should teach a requirement COMMUNICATION class for interns AND residents. Since she is a phenomenal communicator with her patients and their support group, she is in the minority of doctors that have the communication skill because she informs us of FACTS of our conditions, medical reports. She does not treat you as if you are too ignorant to understand and know what is going on with your body.
