Hello, my name is Gregory. When I was a young lad, I had to enter the health care world in an unexpected way. I developed a serious disease out of the blue that took doctors by surprise. I went through so many different testing procedures before my doctors could diagnose the rare disease. Everyone around me reeled as they tried to understand the purpose and process of the diagnostic tests. I hope to help others understand these important tests better through this website.

If you and your child experienced a serious car accident, it can take a lot of effort to get your life back on track. Your child will face some post-trauma damage—both mental and physical—that might be hard for them to communicate and process.

This happens as the tissues continue to act as if they are in the uterus.
