Unfortunately my young child has been diagnosed with a serious disease. I am terrified trying to wade through all the tests and doctors on my own. Do you know anyone who can help guide me?
It is a time-honored Jewish tradition to assist those with medical needs. This is inevitably a time of stress for the patient and the family.
For medical information, contact www.rofehint.org - the worldwide health assistance organization of the Bostoner chassidim. They track all the best doctors in the U.S., and can always point you where to go.
You could also get guidance from:
Chai Lifeline, which assists sick Jewish children with cancer and other genetic diseases.
In Israel, the big medical advisory organizations are:
Rabbi Elimelech Firer - 03-677-0730, fax 03-676-1489
Rabbi Binyamin Fisher - 02-643-9140, 643-3474
Ezer Mitzion - 02-500-2111, fax 02-537-4881
Wherever you are located, it always helps to have others praying on your behalf. To facilitate this, send the person's Hebrew (and their mother's name) to refuah@aish.com, with a brief description of his condition.
Wishing your child a full and speedy recovery.
