Second opinion needed: a congenital heart murmur, Palmira
A neurologist willing to review Josefa's reports could help the family decide on treatment for a congenital heart murmur.
Anywhere in the world478 views
Josefa was diagnosed with a congenital heart murmur in November. 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 a neurologist - anywhere in the world - would be willing to review Josefa'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.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
