Title: AN Awareness at Symposium
Post by: Captain Deb on November 29, 2006, 11:37:57 am

I certainly hope that the Philly Symposium will have a program on raising awareness for AN. If not, maybe we patients may be able to start shaking things up a bit. We need to get Mark Ruffalo involved. We need to raise hell with insurance companies who regard MRI's as a last ditch effort. That misdiagnosis thread has got my dander up!!! AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

I have read quite a few Mark Ruffalo interviews but I think this is the best:

Good article Kathy!  With six degrees of separation out there somebody has to know somebody!!!!  He obviously gets it....even about the cognitive stuff!

Yep, thats why I liked this interview.....and his Dr. was rather honest with him.  

How about this:  

The next one to have surgery at House gets to go find him in the Hollywood Hills.  After all, don't you need to hang around there for about 10 days?  Might as well go sightseeing and stalking.  ::)
