On Oscar night 3-4-18, Dr. Cary Presant presented the HOME award (Health Oriented Motion-picture Excellence) for best health themed film of 2017 to The Big Sick. Representing the film, actor Adrian Dev joined Dr. Presant on the red carpet at the Roger Neal Style Hollywood satellite event at the Hollywood Museum to receive the trophy in honor of the film’s portrayal of the importance of having a health team of family and friends as well as doctors and nurses to help the patient make life or death decisions when facing serious illness.
“I hope this award encourages patients to build a strong supporting team and getting more information from the nurses and doctors, just as I stress in my book Surviving American Medicine,” said Dr. Presant.
