DISCLAIMER

Because I have included patient-specific information, I think it important to re-emphasize what this web site is not.
- It is not intended to teach the general public about diseases, no matter how desirable and worthwhile such an endeavor would be.
- It is not intended as a guide for people who wish to treat themselves.
- It is not a substitute in any sense for a consultation with, or an examination by, a qualified health professional.
- It is not a replacement for medical textbooks.
Although I make every attempt to be accurate, I make no guarantee whatsoever regarding anything you find here.
Also, I continue to receive requests for medical advice. For both practical as well as legal reasons, I cannot really comment or consult on individual patients.
- Not knowing the case myself and not having seen any of the imaging data, I am not in a great position to be able to help.
- The physicians caring for you or your loved one are the ones you need to communicate with.
- For a more complete discussion, you may read my essay When You Write To Me About Medical Problems...
- There are web sites which are dedicated to helping people understand and cope with illness. Some of these are included in my Links section.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
