After a recent phone conversation with my parents, I realized how often we turn to "seasoned" doc tors for our care, medical break throughs et cetera.
Well, I recently have had a personal eye opening experience on medical break throughs! I know this next part has nothing to do with ALS, but our children hold the key to our future.
My sister owns half of a land developing company in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Home to U.S. Naval Academy, Johns Hopkins, NIH and many other great facilities (Sorry, name dropping). She has an Engineer, who's 15, I REPEAT, who's 15 YEAR OLD SON, Jack Andreakas (spelling), just developed a stick test to diagnose pancreatic cancer. He won $100,500.00 with this medical break through. So many times, we don't want that young "green" doc tor to treat us. Maybe we need to start looking at this younger generation for help.
My next text will be to my sister to ask for help. It can't hurt. Fresh eyes! Fresh ideas!
