This Sunday is Doctors’ Day and we’d like to celebrate it by saying thank you. From a kind smile to a heroic save, physicians keep us going.
People have been inspired to share their stories and we’d love to hear yours, as well. Here are a few examples:
This fantastic video from MS Patient Ann, left us all smiling.

From Wanda:
Thank you is not enough for Dr. Nizar Chahin, a neurologist at UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill, NC. In June of 2013, I was seen by him & hospitalized for IVIG infusions. My diagnosis is CIDP, a disease I had never heard of before. I was so weak I couldn’t stand from a sitting position, couldn’t step down into my living room & couldn’t use my hands. After a couple of IVIG treatments (I had 4 in the hospital) I was feeling much better. I have been having infusions in the infusion center since then & just spent last weekend in the hospital for more. I know without a shadow of doubt that I am alive now only through God’s love & care & the care & concern of Dr Chahin. Thank you.

I’d like to thank Dr. Saud Sadiq, my MS neurologist here in New York City. Not only is he an outstanding clinical physician, but he also leads a cutting edge research group, and, above all, is a first-class human being who cares deeply about his patients. Despite treating a patient population who suffer from a so far incurable disease, Dr. Sadiq manages to inspire hope despite the hardships. His clinic is run like none I’ve ever experienced, filled with caring people who exude genuine warmth. Every phone call is returned that day, the staff social workers and physical therapists provide invaluable services, and he even has a naturopath as part of the crew. On top of all that, no pharmaceutical representatives are allowed in the offices, and Dr. Sadiq’s clinic, the Tisch MS Center, is one of the few medical offices in which you’ll find no drug name emblazoned pens, posters, Post-it notes, or other such paraphernalia. Dr. Sadiq is truly blazing his own path, hopefully towards a cure for MS.
