Second opinion needed: childhood-onset epilepsy, Stellenbosch

We're asking for a short, free consultation with a pediatric cardiologist on Kagiso's diagnosis.

Stellenbosch
Kagiso was diagnosed with childhood-onset epilepsy in August. 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 pediatric cardiologist - anywhere in the world - would be willing to review Kagiso'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. Thanks for being kind about this.

    Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Akron so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Stellenbosch.

      hope it all works out, Beatrix. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings!

        Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Nairobi

          Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Narayanganj.

            Stay strong, Beatrix. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Mansoura
