Ever wonder what it’s like to search the ENTIRE country for the right doctor while dealing with excruciating leg pain and diabetes that won’t quit? Our guest Pat is sharing his wild journey finding help for his advanced Peripheral Artery Disease and Type 2 Diabetes. Pat was determined not to let PAD stop him from traveling and living life on his terms. He’ll reveal how the Global PAD Association’s leg saver hotline and our very own podcast became his roadmap through the medical maze! You’ll learn: • The surprising differences between vascular medicine specialists, vascular surgeons, interventional cardiologists, and interventional radiologists • Red flags that told Pat when a doctor WASN’T right for his case • The critical questions every PAD patient should ask before treatment Plus, there’s a MAJOR PLOT TWIST about which doctor Pat ultimately chose (hint: it’s someone pretttty familiar to our listeners 😉) If you or someone you love is dealing with leg pain, circulation issues, or diabetes complications, this episode is a must-listen! Remember: The Global PAD Association is always just a call away at 1-833-PAD-LEGS for anyone needing guidance. #peripheralarterydisease #padsupport #paddoctor #vasculardoctor #bestpaddoctor #bestvasculardoctor #padsupportgroupSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
