Doctors, could you help? Shireen's a recurrent disc herniation
We're asking for a short, free consultation with an orthopedic surgeon on Shireen's diagnosis.
🇿🇦 South Africa1,132 views
Shireen was diagnosed with a recurrent disc herniation in July. The local team has recommended a major procedure. We understand it's an important decision, and we'd like to be sure.
We're asking if an orthopedic surgeon - anywhere in the world - would be willing to review Shireen's reports and give a short opinion (a call of 20 minutes or a written summary). We'd gladly pay for any cost to your practice that we can afford.
We have scans, lab reports and the doctor's notes ready to share securely. We understand that you can't give formal medical advice without an examination, and we're simply looking for guidance on questions to ask and options to explore.
Thanks for even thinking about it.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Sending strength, Lungile. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Johannesburg.
