“How is it possible that as a journalist I did not ask the doctors for these questions?”
I gave a task to the researcher that was assigned to me: to check what treatments can be given to a person with a wrist that was locked due to a spasm. Already at the stage when Judith, the researcher, tried to understand through the information I gave her, exactly what the problem was and what I was looking for, I realized from her questions how necessary this service was: she asked questions I hadn’t even thought about.

After the self-infliction, “How is it possible that as a journalist I didn’t ask the doctors these questions”, I got sick with the understanding that this is another one of the problems of patients and their families: the grief, the worry and sometimes the burden make it difficult for us to analyze the situations of our dear ones with the same calmness with which we analyze the situations of strangers . This is yet another reason for the value of the service Medint provides.

Two weeks later I received a 20 page comprehensive and thorough investigation. There were treatments I didn’t know were existed, studies I hadn’t heard of, technology I wasn’t familiar with and even a message that she had contacted several institutions abroad to find out treatment options. My jaw dropped.
