Hi... My mom has been referred to Washington University in St. Louis for a 2nd opinion on her Neurologist's diagnosis of ALS. We are no-so-patiently waiting for a phone call with an appointment date. But I have so many questions!
Can anyone tell me what the 1st appointment will be like?
If the diagnosis is confirmed, will this be her new doctor?
Does anyone have any doctors they prefer or don't prefer (if you have also been seen there)?
Do we have a choice? Can we go anywhere? How does insurance work if we want to pick a different doctor after this one?
Anything to help me prepare and understand what is going on would be appreciated. I'm a very organized person... I plan ahead... I like to know what to expect. I just want to be as ready as possible. :-/
Thank you in advance!
