My brother is in the Hospital and he was told they think he has ALS. They promised us a second opinion with an ALS specialist situated in Vancouver. He is in ICU on a ventilator. Now they are saying they won't be sending him to a ALS specialist but have another Neurologist in the same hospital look at him. We are confused first they said this outside second opinion would be best. Now after waiting 2 weeks he isn't getting one. I have read many times that this disease is difficult to diagnose so you need to see someone who specializes. Does anyone have some advice Please.
