What is the Undiagnosed Diseases Program?

The Undiagnosed Diseases Program that Lorna and I will be attending next week, is a new program that started in May of 2008. The most appealing thing to me is have multiple specialist sitting around the table discussing each piece of the patients situation. This doesn't happen in the health care system to often.

To understand the program a little more there are a few news articles that I enjoyed reading. The first one is titled "What's Wrong With Summer Stiers" and was in the New York Times. Another was "Meet Dr. House's caring alter ego" this was posted in NewScientist. The last piece that I like was on CNNhealth.com and labeled "Don't call him Dr. House".

Have fun reading. Don't forget to check in during the coming week.
