How often may we get the chance to hear about how a doctor feels in dealing with their own chronic conditions? Not very often, right. Well, watch this interview from August 2016 and find out what it’s like  to be a doctor living with an autoimmune disease called myasthenia gravis (MG).

MG affects voluntary muscles and brings with it an uncountable means of difficulties due to a breakdown in communication between nerves and muscles.

Dr. Kemi Olawaiye-Dampson talked to the host of the blog TV program, The Osasu Show,  Osasu Igbinedion. Dr. Olawaiye-Dampson speaks from the perspective of not just a health expert explaining the medical definition of MG. She actually brings us into her world as she shares her own story about what it feels like being someone who has experienced and now goes on living a new life with MG.
