Part One: George Lopez on Finding Laughter Despite Neuropathy

In part one of this two-part conversation, Dr. Correa has a lively conversation with actor-comedian George Lopez about his experience with neuropathy and kidney disease. George shares how kidney disease and uremic dysfunction affected his childhood, how a kidney transplant changed his life for the better, and how he experienced the pain caused by neuropathy. Dr. Correa is then joined by Dr. Anne Louise Oaklander, associate professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Nerve Unit at Massachusetts General Hospital, who discusses strategies for neuropathy management and long-term nerve health. Next week we will continue with part two of the conversations with George Lopez and Dr. Anne Louise Oaklander.
