Berkeley, CA

I am extremely floored to be the profiled e-patient in this six-minute video on peer-to-peer healthcare. Larry Chu, MD, the organizer of Stanford Medicine X hired a very talented videographer (Theo Rigby) to shadow me for a day and interview me. I talked about what it has been like to live with Crohn's Disease, and how I was inspired to build Crohnology to connect patients with it so we can find new medical discoveries.
