Why we must provide treatment information

One of our jobs is to translate between the doctors and the people in our constituency. We have to understand both the language of the people and the medical professionals.

If we go to the doctors and say one of our friends got better because of this or that, they will not accept it. It is anecdotal information. You have to bring them the medical literature and say: “Here is why we believe this.”
