Looking for an orthopedic surgeon's second opinion on Kevin's poorly controlled type 1 diabetes
Seeking a second medical opinion on poorly controlled type 1 diabetes; a 20-minute call or written review would help.
🇿🇦 South Africa486 views
Kevin was diagnosed with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes in September. The local team has recommended an experimental drug. 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 Kevin'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.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best
this could happen to any of us. After 12 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Dublin
Thanks for sharing this, Rachel. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Spanish Town.
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Cần Thơ this morning
Keep going, Rachel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Johannesburg.
