Thanks for asking, and I’m sorry your friend’s son is going through this. It sounds like a very difficult few days for the whole family.
IMA can’t offer direct medical advice or tell someone whether they should or shouldn’t have a particular procedure, but we can help point you toward doctors who may be willing to take a broader look at the situation and offer another perspective.
A good place to start is the IMA Provider Directory, where you can search by state:
https://imahealth.org/providers/
We’re putting a lot of work into growing this directory, but unfortunately building a trusted network takes time.
In the meantime, these three IMA-listed doctors are currently taking new patients:
Dr. Michael Turner
https://imahealth.org/providers/a-michael-turner-md/
Dr. JP Saleeby
https://imahealth.org/providers/jp-saleeby-md/
Dr. Mollie James
https://imahealth.org/providers/mollie-james-do/
It may also be worth looking for an independent or integrative physician, ideally one with experience in hematology or complex blood disorders, who is willing to review the full picture and work alongside the hospital team. AI search tools can sometimes help identify doctors locally, but it usually takes a few calls to find out exactly what they offer and whether they are a good fit.
Two other directories that may help:
Direct Primary Care Mapper — more than 2,600 DPC practices across the U.S.
https://mapper.dpcfrontier.com/
The Wedge / Stand for Health Freedom — a network of independent primary and specialist physicians
Because he is currently hospitalized, on oxygen, and has already needed transfusions, it may also be worth asking whether a hematology second opinion can be arranged before any major decision, if his condition and timing allow.
I hope some of these leads help them find the right person to talk to.

Here you go, a link to the analysis of the study by the New England Journal of Medicine https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp1401875, the orginal study is all in German

Thanks for the book recommendations, will get both of them.
I have been listening to a podcast called “Keeping Abreast” with Dr. Jenn Simmons, there is a two part episode on mammograms that I found very informative informative https://open.spotify.com/episode/5ughmVip1lPiGJ4xCVPW4D

Love this… the ingenuity of the tennis ball and T-shirts!
The oxygen monitor sounds useful too, particularly as you say you had none of the symptoms people typically associate with sleep apnea and might never have known otherwise.
It would be interesting to hear from others who have positional sleep apnea and couldn’t tolerate CPAP. Has anyone found another approach that helped keep them off their back throughout the night?
And if you do try the inflatable sleep backpack, please come back and let us know how you get on with it.

Sadly, I tend to agree.
