This can be one huge study (more than that). Thank you Kuwait for leading the way. I hope our country is watching this space..

What frustrates me, is that you hear the excuses from doctors, societies and anyone who would have to approve a new treatment being done and funded and the scepticism that says "we just don't know enough yet", and people are getting this done. You're practically having your research paid for you by the patients themselves (and now possibly the Kuwait govt)! Monitor people, research them, find out what you don't know. Don't just stand back and wash your hands of it because you don't know... FIND OUT! People are having this done. Find out what you need to know to stand behind it from those having it done.VeeBee wrote:This can be one huge study (more than that). Thank you Kuwait for leading the way.

At ten per day, 365 days per year, it will take...nearly two years to get everyone? Or longer if ten per day does not include Saturday/Sunday. Beyond amazing though.GiCi wrote:I have just received a message from Zamboni: the Kuwait government has decided to treat all its 6000 MS patients with angioplasty at the rate of 10 a day and has asked him for technical assistance.
I read the newspaper article. Sounds like the liberation procedure has been shut down.
Could it be just a typo 600MSers sounds more likely.cah wrote: Btw: Kuwait has a population of 2.75 million and 6000 MSers. If I did the maths right (I'm not very good at that), that's 218 in 100.000. Far more than ...........?
