Hi all,
My husband and I are going to our first multi-disciplinary clinic on Monday. You know, sort of speed dating for ALS patients - you wait in one room and all of the specialists come by to see you. Can anyone tell me what to expect? Do you get more than 5 minutes per visitor, or does the visit length change with the perceived importance of the visitor? For example, my husband's current problem is mostly breathing related, so we would expect more time from the pulmonologist. Does that sound right? We know that we have received a diagnosed of ALS, but do not know if we need a physical therapist at this time.
I really hate the unknown, and would like to have some idea of what to expect.
Any input would be welcome!
Thanks.
Lynn
