Dr. David Fajgenbaum

Maybe throw in disease organization because there might be an organization for that disease.

You can call someone and all they think about is that disease.

They've got a kid with the disease or they have it themselves.

So start on Google, talk to that group, and they will almost always have a few great doctors they know of that know so much about it.

And I think that that's the key thing for some of these really tough diseases.

they're really tough to treat.

And so you really want to find someone who's got that experience.

And in some cases, like in my case, even the world's expert didn't have an answer for me because the world didn't have an answer for how to treat my disease.

And that's obviously a situation you don't want to be in.

All right.

Thank you for that.

Oh, absolutely.

Sure.

Where did you grow up?

What were you doing?

Grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Youngest of three.

I got two amazing older sisters.

And from the time I was about eight or nine years old, I set my mind on I wanted to be a college quarterback, a Division I quarterback.

That became my thing.
