Second opinion needed: childhood-onset epilepsy, Zanzibar City
A gastroenterologist willing to review Victor's reports could help the family decide on treatment for childhood-onset epilepsy.
🇹🇿 Tanzania907 views
Victor was diagnosed with childhood-onset epilepsy in July. 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 gastroenterologist - anywhere in the world - would be willing to review Victor'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.
