Present
Lindsay has come a long way since he discovered his disease in 1999. He has just turned 41 this year and is still living in his house in St. Louis. He is walking on the path of recovery but still hasn’t reached his destination yet. He is prescribed nine medications in one day but at least he is back to living a life like others.
Motivational Speaker
After learning so much about his condition and how so many people suffer from diseases they are not even aware of, Doug decided to make as many people aware as possible. He knows he is not as physically strong as others but still hopes to do something positive and says, “I can travel and give speeches and go for walks. And I can try to change the world.”
Helping Patients
Doug has continuously been trying to help as many as possible. He has traveled to various places and has spoken on several occasions and several people in medicine, corporations, students and plans on being a medical consultant. “I’m not a physician but I can bring a level of problem-solving and medical sophistication to support doctors and patients who are stuck get unstuck,” said Doug Lindsay.
Ted X
Doug’s decision of helping others through published articles and by doing workshops has also landed him right in the middle of the red circle of Ted X. He has been teaching people on how to get a positive outlook and not giving up, building a strong character to be on the path of success.
