Survivors of Childhood Diseases Struggle to Find Care as Adults

Rachel Goldring was born with congenital heart disease. This disease means that Rachel was born without a pulmonary valve directing blood from her heart to her lungs. She had her first surgery at only nine months old. Right now, she hasn't been to the hospital in a year, but the thing that concerns her is whether or not she can find a good doctor. It may be life or death for her. I believe she shouldn't have to worry about whether or not she will get a good doctor. I believe she should be able to get a doctor that knows her condition front and back.
