Second opinion needed: persistent abdominal pain, San Jose
We're asking for a short, free consultation with an orthopedic surgeon on Vivian's diagnosis.
🇺🇸 United States811 views
Vivian was diagnosed with persistent abdominal pain in March. 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 an orthopedic surgeon - anywhere in the world - would be willing to review Vivian'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 for reading my story.

Good luck, Luke. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
Stay strong. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
