    "Navigating the medical system in the face of a life threatening disease when the caregiver is a physician and when the treating doctors don’t listen.” Dr. Lazarow tells of the difficulties of helping a loved one with a life threatening disease through the medical system. In spite of his being a physician and having multiple resources available that the average non-physician caregiver wouldn’t have access to, it was an incredibly difficult path to negotiate. Dr. Lazarow hopes that by telling this story, it can give hope, ideas and resources to other patients and caregivers who have faced or are facing similar situations.
