Family approached Dr. Bleser about my Mother's debilitating health care decline, physically and mentally. Primary doctor for several years, Karen Bleser gave two pieces of advice- Involuntary commitment to mental services or see a nutritionist at Safeway. No tests, no specialists, NOTHING. Two weeks later, Gastroenterologist at Mayo Clinic who met my mother ONCE gave urgent referrals to a neurologist. Days later, Neurologist finds mom has a brain tumor the size of a softball and needs emergency brain surgery- she is in urgent need of care "the swelling could push her brain down and kill her any moment". She is alive and well, and all because we refused to give up on our loved one like Karen did, or worse still- lock her up!
