I was training for my 6th and final world major marathon when I needed an extended stay in my home country of Denmark. Running world major marathons had become my way of honoring and remembering my brother who passed at a much to young age from cancer. During my stay in Denmark I had to transition to different brands of medication which began a really difficult time where i found myself not being able to get out of bed - let alone run a marathon. The downward trend was gradual but devastating. With so many changes in climate, diet, exercise it was really difficult to sort out what was going on.
I now regret that i had not called Dr Vicroy sooner - rather than going to a local danish doctor. When i eventually did, we had our normal dialog and in a matter of minutes Dr Vicroy had articulated an action plan for tests, adjustments to medication and follow ups. Now looking back on it, i realize just how far my health had slid and I worry what would have happened had Dr Vicroy not done what she did. My medications are in balance again and i am back training - getting ready for my next marathon. Without a doubt, Dr Vicroy has changed and probably saved my life.
