Mogil's Mobcast-A Scleroderma Chat
The goal of my podcast is to have a central place for people afflicted with Scleroderma and a place for their families and friends to be informed by specialists in either Scleroderma or autoimmune topics. I will cover a wide range of topics like nutrition, medications, vitamins, and lifestyles. I will also showcase stories from others affected by Scleroderma and how they have dealt with the disease.

Today’s topic is on the evolution of scleroderma. Dr. Medgser joins us in this discussion as he is a rheumatologist who practiced for 46 years and is currently retired. He started his interest in rheumatology at the University of Pittsburgh, which was the first institution to have a scleroderma center. It was here that Dr. Medgser met and worked with Dr. Rodnan, who is considered the "father of scleroderma”. It was really interesting to hear how practices and diagnosis has changed over the years. And what still needs to be done to help scleroderma patients.
