Second opinion needed: childhood-onset epilepsy, Bogotá
We're asking for a short, free consultation with a pediatric cardiologist on Sergio's diagnosis.
🇨🇴 Colombia971 views
Sergio was diagnosed with childhood-onset epilepsy in August. The local team has recommended a long course of medication. We understand it's an important decision, and we'd like to be sure.
We're asking if a pediatric cardiologist - anywhere in the world - would be willing to review Sergio'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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 20-minute call
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- medical specialist, willingness to review records
