Guest guest Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Thank you, It isn't exactly what I was hoping for. I was told that he has several PF patients. I'll just have to wait and see. I am feeling better today but I am still very weak.Beverley Joy,71, UIP,NSIP 1-09,Diabetes,Sjogren's,Fibromyalgia IdahoSubject: Re: JerryTo: Breathe-Support Date: Thursday, August 27, 2009, 5:55 PM Hello Beverley Joy, Background: Dr. Githaiga received his medical education at the University of Nairobi College of Health Sciences. He completed his internship and residency at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, followed by a fellowship in pulmonary and critical care medicine with the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. He is board certified by the American Boards of Internal Medicine and Pulmonary Disease and certified by the ABIM in Critical Care Medicine. The university of Pittsburgh is ranked in or near the top 20 schools of Internal Medicine. As far as publications the only one I came across was on COPD and Pneumocystis. He co-authored the study with others. He has practiced for 12 years and is affiliated with Providence Holy-Family Hospital, which is rated within the top 25% of hospitals. I will look for more publications, in case there are some related to PF. If you are able to make an appointment with UWMC, he may can work with them following your evaluation there. But we don't always have the bgest of all possible worlds. Take good care of yourself and enjoy your night. Jerry?Mississippi/ 54/IPF/dx April 05 Dr. > > Hello Jertry. I was wondering if you could do a little more research for me? I would like to know where my new doctor trained. I can't find it. I have an appointment on the 9th. His name is Githaiga and he is in Spokane. All I found is besides English he speaks French and Swahili. I'm curious to meet him. > > Beverley Joy,71, UIP,NSIP 1-09,Diabetes, Sjogren's, Fibromyalgia Idaho > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
