Inspiration
My friend's dad was diagnosed with migraine about a year ago in Nigeria. After buying and taking medications for migraine for almost 4 weeks with no improvements in his condition, he decided to come to the US to see a doctor. He did and the doctor, here, diagnosed him and found that he had a brain tumor. He couldn't be saved and he died few months after. There are thousands of other people out there who do not have the means to travel to other countries to see a more qualified doctor. Also, it is alarming to know that 2 in every 5 will be harmed by prescription and/or misdiagnosis in America alone. Who will that be? You, me, or loved ones?!!
