Re: Physiatrist

At Methodist, Alan was referred to a Physiatrist by his neurologist. I had never heard of such a specialist before.

We were able to get in that same day.

She looked at Alan, watched how he walked, stood on his toes, his heels (whatever Physiatrists do.....this was a LONG time ago).

But the interesting thing was that she asked him if he had been at Ground Zero on 9/11.. Alan told her "no, I have had neuropathy much longer than 7 years".

She said: "do you know how many of my patients were there on 9/11?" And how many have come down with neuropathy??"

There HAS to be some correlation here. Exposure to toxic materials, etc.???
