That is just exploitive. Not ok. If he took on a super active care management relationship with patients then maybe but 10.00/min is price gouging a vulnerable population.
Dr. Galland is a rich person's doctor. I love the guy and he did try hard to help me but in the end, I wasnt better. He was one of the first doctors I saw, back when there was still money and I thought I could buy my way out of this lol
Dr. Galland isnt specifically a CFS doctor...he just tries to treat complex illnesses - that's a lot of ground to cover and he writes diet books and stuff too. A lot of celebrities see him. His nickname is "the best doctor in America". He doesnt position himself to be for the average person. His office is full of rich New Yorkers lol
In his defence, he may have been able to help me if the LTT ELISPOT testing for Lyme was available when I saw him. But looking back, he at least kept my hope alive when I was suicidal, letting me try various things and not giving up.
He suspected gut connection long, long before conventional doctors did so he is very smart...just maybe spread thin. He is close friends with Dr. Cheney I believe, from med school. Also chinese medicine specialist.
I have an idealized view of him because I saw him after I saw Dr. Levine, who basically said I should give up and f-- off.
