Patient Journey: In the Spotlight

Every journey tells a story worth sharing.

  • Eitan

    "When Eitan was turning 3, we had just been given a name for what he had, after a year-long journey towards a diagnosis. I’ll never forget when the geneticist handed us papers about his (wrongly diagnosed) condition, “MED,” and told us NOT to read beyond that point—because the next section talked about Pseudoachondroplasia, and she was convinced Eitan did not have dwarfism." - Eitan’s parents
