Best Bag for Hospital Stays | From Katie Ortman-Doble

The Knack Team is wishing Katie Ortman Doble a swift recovery! Katie was kind enough to share her expertise as a recruiter with Knackpackers on our blog, and recently sent this update about using her Knack Pack while undergoing cancer treatment.

Best Bag for Hospital Stays - Cancer Treatment
From Katie:
"I’m entering my 4th clinical trial and 8th treatment since my battle with cancer began over 7 years ago. This is my second trial that has required out-of-state travel. This trial started with a surgery to remove two tumors from my liver (pictured with my Knack Pack and zebra mask), a leukapheresis (blood draw procedure that I went out for earlier this week, other 3 pics), and a ~21 day hospital stay in September where I get chemo (free haircut!) and TIL therapy (Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes).

This wasn’t how I pictured first utilizing my Knack Pack, but it’s been great for both trips so far. All the compartments are perfect for plane travel and hospital visits (and I love the sleek pocket for my tablet that never goes anywhere without me). The un-exposed water bottle pocket is perfect for COVID travel."

The Knack Pack is a great laptop backpack, and we so appreciate that it’s able to make life easier for those receiving medical care and their support teams.  Patients and their loved ones can spend a lot of time in waiting rooms, usually requiring 2-3 bags to carry tech, extra clothes, books, etc.  The Knack Pack easily fits just about everything needed, keeping items organized so patients can focus their energy on getting better.
