Hi Jefferson > Some of you may remember that about 10 days ago I sent the list a > message relating that my father, diagnosed 13 years, had had a swift > downturn in his condition. ... > His neurologist in Sarasota had said that the > rapid degeneration was not abnormal, and that there was nothing that > could be done. Very odd diagnostic behaviour, I'ld say! > Not accepting that diagnosis, I reached out to the list for > recommendations for a second opinion. ... > We saw Dr Sanchez this morning, and I am encouraged and impressed. ... > In short, I am encouraged that we have found a doctor that will take the > time and considerable trouble to solve, or at least try to solve, the > many problems that have affected by father. As Dr Sanchez so aptly put > it, "Sometimes a family neurologist just can=92t take the time necessary > to fix the problems." He's a wise man. > Moral of the story: If your doctor says that nothing can be done, find > another doctor. You get stuck in there, Jefferson, and our blessings and best wishes go with you.
