S03_E10 - Getting a Better Understanding of ALS
ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a rare but serious condition that affects around 5 people in every 100,000, but due to its devastating effects on both the patient and the caregivers, it's something that certainly merits a deeper conversation. Lou Gehrig and Steven Hawking may be the two most well-known cases, but it seems once ALS is mentioned, many people are in one way or another connected to it. But what's actually happening in the body? What do we think causes it? What is the progression of the illness like and what are the current treatments available?
There's still a lot out there that we don't know about the disease, but the medical community is making strides every day to help support those living with the condition to lead fulfilling lives. On Episode 10 of the podcast, we'll have an in-depth conversation with Dr. Sam Maiser, MD, Chair of Neurology at Hennepin Healthcare and an expert on ALS, to help us get a better understanding of the disease. We'll explore what is known and still unknown, what the experience is like for the patient and caregivers, available treatments and resources, and what the future may hold for those living with this disease. It's a thoughtful conversation with a dedicated specialist on one of medicine's most challenging topics. We hope you'll join us.
You can learn more about ALS and find helpful resources for patients and caregivers here.
