“GoFundMe”运动已超过其30 000美元的目标,以支持多林妇女Kaarina Gorham,她患有神秘感染,导致严重的面部畸形,包括失去部分鼻子和脸颊。
A GoFundMe campaign has exceeded its $30,000 goal to support Kaarinaa Gorham, a Dowling, Ontario woman with a mysterious infection causing severe facial disfigurement, including loss of part of her nose and cheek.
经过近三年的100多次测试和与安大略省六家医院的30多名专家进行的咨询,没有作出任何诊断,也没有医生协调她的护理工作。
After nearly three years of over 100 tests and consultations with more than 30 specialists across six Ontario hospitals, no diagnosis has been made, and no physician has coordinated her care.
Gorham前往俄亥俄州克利夫兰, 克里夫兰诊所的七名专家正在对她进行评估。
Frustrated by delays and a system she describes as overwhelmed, Gorham traveled to Cleveland, Ohio, where she is being evaluated by seven specialists at the Cleveland Clinic.
她的家人说,缺乏问责制反映了系统性问题,医生在各部门之间“打倒”她。
Her family says the lack of accountability reflects systemic issues, with doctors “bunting” her between departments.
该运动继续接受捐款,以帮助支付她的医疗和旅费。
The campaign continues to accept donations to help cover her medical and travel costs.
