Extra information provided by this PSP
Original uncertainty examples Is there a specific protocol to follow when a GSD patient gets sick? ~ What can be done about the emergency department of any hospital, with the intention for them to have the enough knowledge with the protocol on a GSD? ~ How to treat the fever? Which medicine is the most indicated? ~ I worry to know that in hospitals where patients with hepatic GSD are being treated, do not have an emergency protocol established. We are always parents who have to give these guidelines.
