Dr. Gerard demonstrates to Matt Lauer on Channel 4 the concept of a renal obstruction in a child using balloons as a teaching tool.
Dr. Gerard uses balloons to teach patients and physicians the concept of heart disease and balloon angioplasty. This is a simplified method developed by Dr. Gerard, easy to understand so individuals can have a easier understanding of disease. Dr. Gerard can create the entire human body out of balloons, show all diseases and abnormalities, demonstrate treatments and surgery, and show concepts of preventative medicine. He claims there is no disease he cannot demonstrate with balloons. He has appeared on many major television and radio stations. It is also known that patients who understand their diseases will have a quicker recovery period. Many have compared Dr. Gerard to "Patch Adams", with respect to his help of children and adults. For more information, look at his web site: www.doctorballoon.com
It is all about patient education, creating an informed consumer with simplified tested techniques. Patients who understand their disease and treatments will have a more uneventful recovery process. Families will understand how to further enhance and support those who need their help and assistance. That is really what it is all about. A smile and a nod of the head indicating understanding.
