This was not easy to find\n\nComanche County Memorial Hospital proudly welcomes Johnny D. Duncan to its family of highly skilled physicians and surgeons. Dr. Duncan is a neurosurgeon with a special interest in spine surgery. He has been practicing since 1998 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.\n\nDr. Duncan's pursuit of a career in neurosurgery began with an interest in microsurgery. He initially received a doctor of optometry degree from Illinois College of Optometry in Chicago, Illinois. After realizing his true interests were in the area of neurosurgery, he applied to medical school.\n\nAfter graduating from Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1992, he pursued a residency in neurosurgery. He completed his neurosurgery residency at the Oklahoma State University/Tulsa Regional Medical Center. While in residency, he developed a strong interest in spinal surgery. To gain more experience in spinal surgery, he completed a complex spine fellowship with academic distinction at the University of Arizona/University Medical Center in Tucson, Arizona. During his training, Dr. Duncan financed his schooling by working as an optometrist.\n\nOne of Dr. Duncan's passions, aside from his practice, is composing, playing, and singing contemporary Christian music with his wife Crystie. "I've been singing, playing and composing since I was 18," said Dr. Duncan. "I can't wait to find a praise band I can join here in Lawton."\n\nDr. Duncan is the father of three daughters: Amanda, 8; Jessica, 5; and Hannah, 4.\n\n"Lawton is a real family-oriented city. The people I've met have been very friendly and have made us feel right at home."\n\n----\n\nYou are not going to find phone numbers of patients or even a list of patients because of HIPAA laws. If you go to get medicine you will see that all medicine is covered up now so you can't even look over the counter and see the names of patients and what medications are in there.

Apart from that link given by the person before me (that includes a patient care.pdf), there isn't much I could add. The management of this disease is unsatisfactory thus far, and is symptomatic. Depending on which country you are in and the cause of his lung fibrosis, industrial compensation is given to the affected individual. Do enquire.

You could try the Medical University of Ohio at Toledo.\n\nhttp://www.meduohio.edu/healthsciences/pa/\n\nThat is the only one I can find in Ohio, but you may want to check into schools in states that are close like, Michigan, Indiana and Pennsylvania

I've never heard of this, so first of all my thoughts are with your family.  I knew strokes, heart attacks and those types of things didn't only happen to "older" people anymore, but that they were also happening to people as young as their 20's.  I had absolutely no idea, I am going to try to look this up tho, as I have two young children.  Were there any symptoms, something long coming that didn't get noticed because it was also considered a normal thing?  I hope he stays strong and has a great turn around back to good health.

I am also 50 something and have already had a clogged artery in the heart that required a stent.\n\nSimple diet modifications can help. Just doing away with most meat and eating losts of fruit brought down my cholesterol from the 220-240 range to the 190s.\n\nHaving found out my problem in an airplane at 29000 feet I can say from firsthand experience that this would be a horrible way to die. It is not necessarily slow and it scares the daylights out of you. After the blockage was treated it took me several years to get over anxiety stemming from it.\n\nLet your Dad know that he does not have to die from this. He may be thinking it is genetic and that there is not much you can do to control it. This is not true many times.\n\nMy advice is to start doing everything natural that you can. I do not know if it is true but there is one article that claims Bromelain (you can get it at a natural helath food store) will clear your arteries. One lady took it and had a followup angiogram that showed no blockage. I had some pain in my back once and it went away not long after I took Bromelain. Maybe it was all in my head but I doubt it. It is a natural anti inflammatory , digests protein and helps keep the blood from clotting. Obviously if cholesterol is high you should follow a Doctor's advice for lowering it. Some Doctors are enlightened about using natural substances to help.\n\nRegardless of what else he does , tell him to eat 5 pieces of fruit a day. The pectin in the fruit binds with the cholsesterol and flushes some of it out.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and smoking predispose you to a higher likelihood of blood clots than the average person.  Even if you were to get a blood clot very few of these clots actually cause a problem (pulmonary embolism) and even fewer cause serious complications from this problem (heart damage, pulmonary infarction, or death) especially for a 29 year old.  But there are certainly increased risks and those risks are not anything to ignore.\n\nYou have the power to stop the smoking...there's no time like now to start.  Believe me you will need to try more than once to get it right.  It is the single best thing you can do for your health.  \n\nAdditionally HRT is an elective medication.  There is virtually no absolute need for any woman to ever HAVE to take that medication.  \n\nYou have the power to change your lifestyle and habits.  There is no time like the present to begin.  Good luck.

no specific multivitamins, homozygous state places you at a higher risk of clots so just ensure that you take an aspirin a day (just for peace of mind since it works different but still is a blood thinner), keep moving your legs, long drives take a break frequently, long flights go to the restroom even if you don't want to go, work don't just sit or stand keep going back and forth, good luck

Dr. Todd Anhalt\n\nhere is his info:\n\nhttp://www.elcaminohospital.org/1122.cfm\n\ngood doctor.  vaguely recall seeing a change of address for him recently so may require some research to get his current contact info.\n\nhe came strongly recommended by dr. richard lee, a great general practioner in palo alto.

First of all, I wish you luck and good health.\n\nYou will need to establish a few things to build your case.  First of all is you need to prove that you had labwork or something else done to prove that you had kidney (renal) disease that was not addressed.  The most common tests would be a Chem 7 (specifically the BUN and serum creatinine--abbreviated SCr).  This is a very basic lab test.  If you can prove you had elevated BUN and SCr and the doctors overlooked it and/or did nothing about it at that time, then you have a case.\n\nNow it's certainly possible that when you were admitted to the hospital, it could have been assumed you were being treated for it.  Or it is possible that the hospital never checked a Chem-7 and you weren't symptomatic.  Sometimes if you are in the hospital for only a very short amount of time, they do not do a lot of lab tests.  And of course, it's certainly possible the hospital also overlooked it.\n\nTransplants are obviously not for everyone.  Generally though if you are young and otherwise healthy, you would get a bigger priority than someone who is older and has many other co-morbid conditions.\n\nAlthough your case is certainly sad, it is probably pretty rare.  Such a large oversight is very uncommon in medical practice.  I think it would suffice that you go as an individual in your lawsuit (as opposed to class-action).

I would check with the outreach program at your nearest hospital.  They should be able to help you.
