Eric Drew
Eric Drew is one of the first adults in the US to survive a double cord blood stem cells transplant for "terminal leukemia".〔http://discovermagazine.com/2008/apr/09-the-man-who-lost-his-name-and-his-genetic-identity/article_view?b_start:int=0&-C=〕 Drew is noted for having his identity stolen during his treatment.〔 While undergoing treatment for a rare and virulent leukemia, his identity was stolen by a medical worker called Richard Gibson. Drew fought and became the first person to force a federal criminal conviction under the Health Information Privacy (HIPAA) laws. Gibson was sentenced to 16 months in prison and had to pay $15,000 in restitution. Drew has now dedicated his life to helping patients suffering from all types of serious and terminal diseases, and has become a spokesperson for the non-controversial cord blood stem cells that saved his life.
Eric Drew is the founder and director of the (Eric Drew Foundation ), a non-profit organization that promotes advocacy for terminally ill patients.
