Suffering a rare disease, or any chronic
condition, a patient’s case can become quite complex and the need for input
from various doctors specialising in different fields may be required. Having
several doctors looking at a patient through their own field of expertise,
working together as a team, is the best health care for the patient, enabling a
complete picture of the case being presented ultimately ensuring that the
correct diagnosis and treatment plan are set in place. I am very fortunate
indeed to be taken care of in this manner, and the Professor who looks after
me, being one of the leading doctors specialising in Gaucher disease in the
world, I couldn't be in better hands. He has a complete team of doctors,
nurses, and technicians that he works with, all of whom are trained to spot the
unusual abnormalities that are manifested in Gaucher disease. Add to this that I
have Parkinson’s as well; my doctors have their work cut out for them! Without
their dedication and excellence – I don’t know where I would be today!
It is so good to hear so many good things about your doctors; about the attitude and the way the relate to your complex problems. I think that this should be posted on Google for all to see.
