Questions for Dr Seo

[pberggren1]

I think a good doctor could keep up with the research in the field without being any active researcher. Some researchers are also great clinicians but some researchers may develop a pet theory they want to prove and not be as open to all the research findings or lack the personality traits to be a good clinician. Some doctors do not do well working with live or awake patients who ask questions and may specialize in reading x-rays or studying tissue samples.

I find this post rather funny.

drz, Easily 90% of the questions I ask Dr Seo could only be answered by someone immersed in the research. They have "insider" access to ongoing and upcoming research as well. Someone who is only relying on published research wouldn't know which drugs are coming down the pike, or problems the major centers are having, etc....

Having said that, it's great if a non-Wegs specialist keeps up with all the research. I give them tons of credit for doing that.

Great info in this thread! Very nice of you to gather questions to bring to your doc. My doctor has also told me RTX only destroys B cells in the blood stream and that some are left in bone marrow. I had no idea only 10% were destroyed!

[Sangye]

Yeah, for some reason I had the percentages reversed in my mind, thinking 10% were in tissues and 90% were in circulation. It's been a long time since I took those courses!

ROTFL Gary, did you just add that signature about getting a Wegs specialist or it would upset Sangye? Hilarious, and also embarrassingly true!
