If the Doctors Did Everything Right, Why are You Still Sick?

If the doctors have done everything right, then why are you still sick and without answers?

Doctors can’t help everyone, and rare, complex cases are the ones that fall through the cracks. With my Personal Medical Consultant service, we can tackle your situation together. 

I help complex chronic illness clients to get unstuck so they can get their lives back.

I spend orders of magnitude more time on a client’s case than a doctor will.

I learn your case, but I also learn new things to help you.  I do homework on my clients; most doctors don’t do homework on individual patients.

I use the tools of a scientist and a journalist to help you tell your story, help you understand complex information, and help you find what’s been missing from your care up to this point.

Then, I find us the doctors you need.  We get you the testing and data you need.  And, together, we build partnerships with the doctors to get you results that you haven’t gotten before.

It’s a year-long engagement where we connect weekly about your case to get you better treatment, better care, and better health.

What a difference a year can make!

When There was No Road to Follow, I made My Own

When I realized the medical system didn’t have a plan for me or my family, I made one for us. I researched our conditions and collaborated with doctors and scientists. I figured out our problems involved the autonomic nervous system and the adrenal glands, and then I figured out what to do about it for each of us.

• ME: Developed surgery for my case which took me from wheelchair to walking after 11 years home bound.

• MY MOM: Predicted to live only 6 months; she lived another 8 years because of our work.

• MY AUNT: Healthier now at 71 then she has been since her 20s because I developed a new use for an old drug for her case.

I Take This Work Personally

When I was a kid, my mother Barbara and my aunt Jeanne were sick. I did all I could for my mom. I was a good caregiver, but beyond that I couldn’t do much. My mom suffered from chronic pain and muscle rigidity. She was too weak to open our front door. My aunt couldn’t tie her shoes in her 30s. For years neither could leave the house or take the stairs. The doctors had decades to help them, but after all that time, they still didn’t even know what was wrong.

When I got sick with the same thing, I was 21. It was terrifying. The doctors failed me too. I spent the next 11 years homebound and bed bound. They had no answers for me either.

I could have given up, but I took my illness as a chance to help us all. I read and researched. I figured things out. I devised novel treatments and partnered with doctors and scientists. I invented the concept for a surgery to fix me. People thought the things I was trying to do were impossible. But I proved them wrong. First I got us answers, and then I got us help.

I took the fight to get my family and me better care, better treatment, and better health very personally. If I take your case, I’ll take it personally too.
