A book written for medical professionals by leading researcher and Myasthenia Gravis authority, Dr. Joel Oger.

Dr. Joel Oger MD, FRCPC Professor department of Medicine (Neurology), Pathology, Psychiatry (Neurosciences) and Brain Research Centre, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C. Canada

From the book's Introduction to the reader, "Diagnosis and Treatment of Myasthenia Gravis" by Dr. Joel Oger, MD, FRCPC

Dear Reader,

During my many years of following Myasthenia Gravis (MG) patients, I have noticed
that physicians adhere to relatively similar therapeutic plans. Most helpful to MG
patients, however, is the practitioner’s attention to details that include a clear and
exhaustive plan for drug titration. This detailed approach will make the patient
confident that he or she has found the doctor in whom he or she can put his or her
confidence.

This booklet has been written with neurology residents in mind as an easy reference
document that they can access when they have to admit their first MG patient. It will
also be useful to neurologists in general practice who need a refresher because one
does not see a new MG patient often. It could also help other health care professionals
when the time comes to counsel patients. I have often suggested to my patients to
this type of booklet to their family doctors as soon as they have been diagnosed.
