Second opinion needed: juvenile arthritis, Hamilton
A neurologist willing to review Samantha's reports could help the family decide on treatment for juvenile arthritis.
Anywhere in the world1,104 views
Samantha was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis in August. 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 a neurologist - anywhere in the world - would be willing to review Samantha'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.
Thank you so much.
