I'd been to three doctors with...
I'd been to three doctors with this weird fatigue and pain, everyone said it was stress. Dr. Mohanty was the first one who actually stopped and listened. He ordered a specific blood test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. He explained it to me and my wife in plain English, no fancy jargon. I'm on the right treatment now, and I finally feel like myself again.
