Looking for an orthopedic surgeon's second opinion on Sipho's poorly controlled type 1 diabetes
We're asking for a short, free consultation with an orthopedic surgeon on Sipho's diagnosis.
Anywhere in the world1,171 views
Sipho was diagnosed with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes in March. The local team has recommended immediate surgery. 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 Sipho'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.
- effort
- 20-minute call
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- medical specialist, willingness to review records

Thanks for sharing this, Willem. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Cape Town
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro.
Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Düsseldorf.
Hang in there, Willem. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Lahore.
Thinking of you, Willem. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
