Put Kids Before Bureaucracy: Turn Heartbreak to Hope

One of my 5-year-old patients, Luke, has a devastating, super rare form of dementia. After the right genetic test, Luke had a successful bone marrow transplant and now
his dementia is reversing itself!
Every week, I see children who are suffering from terrible diseases that no one can figure out the cause of. I know that at least a third of these kids would be helped and many are like Luke and could be treated if only they had the right tests available to them.
Because genetic science is exploding, there are now thousands of new tests to help doctors like me diagnose rare illnesses and guide proper treatment. Unfortunately, provincial government processes to approve these tests are slow and haphazard. Let's get our governments in gear.
