My sister and I went with my Mom and Dad to his first visit at the ALS Clinic.
My Dad is still able to walk, talk, swallow. He actually is doing great!
But his #1 problem is breathing problems. He almost died, because of it and spent 8 days in the hospital.
His Pulmonologist told him he didn't understand ALS and said he should talk to the ALS Specialist about it.
So we asked the ALS Specialist questions and he said to talk to the Pulmonologist!
Ridiculous!
How can a Neurologist be an "expert" in ALS and not know anything about breathing problems in ALS patients?!
