Hi Clouds
I saw others in my group talking about amyloidosis being mentioned on the "Informed Consent" episode. It's a shame the writers didn't take the opportunity to mention the fact that amyloidosis can be treated successfully if caught in time.
http://www.Amyloidosis.org is a good resource for doctors and patients alike. They are involved in spreading awareness, hoping that doctors will check for amyloidosis sooner rather than later.
Still, I guess it was good to have the illness highlighted. Most people have never heard of it, and most doctors have had little training on the subject.
