ABOUT US

Physicians For Patients is an online version of support groups for those suffering from long-term illnesses.

A way to give one another support, to vent frustrations, and to give each other advice. A dedicated physician guides group discussions and provides input as needed. Patients, family, and friends are encouraged to talk to one another.

GOAL #1

Encourage everyone (including family/friends) to take an active role in their condition.

We would like a close knit, albeit large, community that works together to figure out problems and to get through problems together as a community. Questions will be answered directly by physicians but in general terms. Everyone should work together and offer their experience to give a complete all around picture and answer to all questions.

GOAL #2

Improve treatments, lessen side effects, and address patient needs.

Please try to participate as much as possible. There is data to suggest that potential new treatments can be identified through identifying trends in large pooled patient population information. Trends in treatments, side effects, and patient needs. Also, we anticipate recognition of important relationships that may appear to be anecdotal on a case to case basis; but clearly become significant if they occur with enough frequency in a large population. When possible, we will work with pharmaceutical companies, research organizations, and non-profits. The goal is to use this information to create drugs and treatments that meet the desires of the patients, with decreased key side effects, and increased effect.

GOAL #3

Improve life circumstances for patients

Pooled patient information and polling can also be used to approach government and associations to help shape policy in the best interest of the patients. Physicians For Patients does not endorse any particular pharmaceutical company, medicine, or association.

COLLECTIVE EFFORT BETWEEN PHYSICIANS AND PATIENTS:

We are very excited to start this movement. We would like everyone’s opinions. Please let us know how we can improve this site. info@physiciansforpatients.com

ASKING FOR YOUR HELP

We need to identify patients that understand their condition. We need patient leaders to help lead the groups. Please contact us if you are experienced and willing to offer your time to help others that are more new to their condition.
