This week Dr. Daniel Correa speaks with podcaster and advocate Lorri Carey. Lorri shares her story of being diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and how her family has joined advocacy efforts for people in the community living with the condition. Next Dr. Correa sits down with returning medical expert, Dr. Stephen Goutman, an assistant professor in the Department of Neurology and director of the Pranger Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Clinic and associate director of the ALS Center of Excellence at Michigan Medicine. Dr. Goutman discusses the different types of ALS and offers advice on approaching the conversation of possible treatments for someone living with ALS.
