You may pass a thousand faces on the street, each one holding a tale of resilience, strength, and humanity. Jamie Hill, the Practice Coordinator/Manager at Politis Plastic Surgery, is one such soul. Not only does she extend professional assistance to those battling breast cancer and those seeking plastic surgery, but she also bears the silent strength of a woman intimately acquainted with the threat of the disease. Her story, wrapped in the complex intertwinement of personal and professional experiences, is not meant to invoke pity, rather, to exhibit emotional intelligence and empathetic understanding she brings to her job as a plastic surgeon in Tampa.
Hill’s career in nursing, specializing in women’s health, has seen her don the cloak of the patient and the care-provider. This duality provides her with a unique perspective. “I’ve been through it, obviously from the physician, doctor, nurse side of it,” she says, revealing a truth only those who have walked a similar path may truly appreciate. Her nuanced understanding of the patient mindset resonates strongly when she says, “waiting for the doctor to come out of surgery and say everything’s okay, and waiting for the CT results to come back in six months and know they’re still clean and that kind of stuff, so it helps us relate.”
In Hill’s narrative, not only does her professional journey mirrors her personal battle, but it also arms her with the empathy to guide her patients comprehensively. Her story sheds light on the very essence of ‘care’ in healthcare, stating, “it doesn’t help when it’s your family, you know, it hits you a little bit harder.” This sentence carries a weight many of us can relate to, it speaks volumes of the anxiety, hope, and courage she had to muster during her sister’s battle with breast cancer. Yet, she celebrates her sister’s spirit, saying, “she was a fighter and a champ, and she doesn’t let it define her, and she’s no evidence of disease. We’re through it.”
In her pursuit of a challenging career, Hill found herself in the realm of plastic surgery and seeing as she had previously undergone cosmetic surgery herself, the progression seemed natural. She remarks, “I’ve always enjoyed women’s health. That’s been my area of expertise in nursing, and I don’t see me ever really leaving women’s health. So it seemed like a natural progression to be able to come in to do something different.”
Her desire to understand and her drive to enhance her knowledge is as palpable as her passion, “I took a lot of time in reading and getting up on what am I, you know, what are the different types of breast cancer?”
