“All I can say for now is they are aware of the urgent life-saving need and we had a very positive call,” Beck posted.
Glenn Beck, a prominent conservative commentator as well as founder of The Blaze, has been in contact with a Saskatchewan woman approved for MAID (medical assistance in dying) after he offered to pay for her surgery in the US.
Jolene Van Alstine has a rare thyroid disease (parathyroid hyperplasia) which causes increased blood calcium levels which can lead to abdominal pain and broken bones. She has dealt with depression, nausea and vomiting, according to the Toronto Sun.
She had surgery in 2020 to remove the glands, but as the pain returned shortly thereafter, her husband, Miles Sundeen, believes that some of the gland was left in, and she has been unsuccessful in getting the surgery to remove the remaining parathyroid gland.
