Announcing Our 2024 DRESS Heroes
In our 2024 DRESS Heroes awards event, individuals in our patient community nominated professionals who they feel made a difference in their or their loved one's life during their DRESS experience. From Turkey to Sri Lanka to the US and beyond, nominations came in from around the world!
Here's an example of how one doctor made a difference for a DRESS patient:
"She saved my liver and probably my life. After seeing 5 doctors, twice in the hospital (and sent home with antibiotics), this hero angel was on her shift and after 3 minutes suspected DRESS Syndrome. She took care of me for 10 days while hospitalized. Now she is keeping me under her treatment for going through this horrible situation and after that hopefully my PSA. She's my worldwide hero.”
