Default The Doctors feature RSD
Today 10/21/2013 on The Doctor's (NBC) they will feature a lady with RSD. So glad this is a national show! I've called several family members that have never really understood what RSD is so they can watch!! Woot!

I just finished watching it. It was shared on Facebook by one of the CRPS websites.

It was a pretty good (but short) interview with Dr. Travis and also commentary from this patient's pain management doctor.

Good awareness of this terrible condition!

It was cool that they talked about spreading, most doctors dont believe it spreads. It was a really good piece on RSD!

While I was glad to see it covered...I was unimpressed.

It did show some good information, but it fell quite short IMO on explaining quite a bit as far as symptoms and different things that can be involved (pain brain, body temperature issues, etc). I think they would probably need a longer show instead of a snid bit to really get things explained.
