Did he leave the Hospital yet? I give all my patients there cards at time of discharge, so they don't get lost. He will also get a more permanent laminated card in about 3 months.

No follow up of any kind except the one I am going to do. The hospital gave me a piece of an envelope with ventritex and Angstrom II on it.. I 'm guarding it with my life. Thanks for the info.

The person to whom I spoke said she would make the card a priority. I live-work in Helena AR. My sweetie lives in Memphis and had his implant in Nov. 98 at Methodist-North. I am very grateful for his life-call him Lazarus. ha-(sort of). Again, many thanks and I will keep you supplied with questions. We are in the process of buying a house in Memphis.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 1999 Report Share Posted April 19, 1999 Hi Beth, and welcome, I'm glad you are finding this list helpful as I have these past few months. When I read your description of Colin's behavior, it reminded me of the descriptions I have read of Asperger's syndrome. If you haven't already you may want to read about this disorder. A good web site is http://www.udel.edu/bkirby/asperger/#Education, I ran across this awhile back while I was researching ocd. I have a 5-year-old with ocd but no other diagnoses (for the moment--every time we see her doctor he mentions he's watching her closely for symptoms of TS or one of the other spectrum disorders . . . I feel we're always waiting for the other shoe to fall.) Anyway, welcome! Kathy R. in Indiana No Subject > From: BPSMAS@... > > Hello everyone, > I am new to this list.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 1999 Report Share Posted April 19, 1999 Hi everyone, Just thought I would say hello and check in after a bit of an absence. Actually, I've been here and been reading but haven't posted; just trying to keep on top of our situation at home. My five and a half year old daughter, andra, has been through a pretty strong relapse and is now coming out on the other side. (We saw a new doc who has upped her meds.) We hope she can start CBT again soon. I am starting to see depression as an equal partner in her disorder, with the OCD. When she was first diagnosed with OCD we attributed all our problems to that, but as I learn more I see this is not the case. Her doctors, however, usually don't see a depressed kid in their office and I get a lot of nodding and smiling without comment when I bring up the depression issue. In my opinion, however, a kid who hasn't uttered a genuine laugh in almost a month is DEPRESSED! If anyone has suggestions for me on how to talk with the doctors, I would appreciate the input. Glad to see so many new members on the list! Take care, Lesli desk@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 20, 1999 Report Share Posted April 20, 1999 Hi and welcome to the list. My daughter occasionally gets " obssessional interests " , something that sparks her and she gets driven by it. It could be anything from the waitress at a restaurant (then she starts trying to get all her attention) to an idea about something she wants to do. It's not like a regular interest - she gets absolutely driven. This has lessoned with meds. However, I agree with , your son's obbssessional interests sound different than this and I agree with her suggestion to find out more about Aspergers Syndrome. There is a website with info about it but I don't remember what it is, maybe someone else on this list can. In any case, there is hope for either of these conditions, OCD or Aspergers, and the people on this list are a great resource and support.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 1999 Report Share Posted April 20, 1999 My daughter has symptoms of Depression also, altho meds have really helped this. Before, when Depression was viewed in purely phsycological terms it was thought that young children didn't get depression. New info about the brain has changed that point of view but many docs haven't caught up with the change. Depression is young children often looks different than dep. in adults. Irritable mood/ temprament and a sullen affect are some of the ways children have symptoms. Once again, we know our children best, so keep on trying to advocate for your daughter in spite of resistance by docs! I find that using descriptive words such as sullen affect, irritable mood, lack of joy etc. rather than using medical terms, like Depression, is helpful when talking to docs. This way they don't feel as threatened, like you're making the diagnosis and that's their turf. Write things down before you talk to them and just keep repeating yourself. Also, learn more about depression and children and use the words in the description that fit your daughter when talking to the docs. I hope this is helpful.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 1999 Report Share Posted May 13, 1999 Where can I find out more about the conference? Another thought on teasing: Sometimes information can dissapate a situation too (as long as the adults are at least willing to act like adults) when child is " different " . Often kids tease because they feel uncomfortable around a child who is not typical and they don't know what to expect or how to act. Or sometimes they're afraid. There was a boy in my daughter's class last year who was obviously different (he talked to himself, exposed himself, sat in a corner by himself because he wanted to; no adult helped the other kids understand him and instead they were supposed to tolerate his unwanted touching etc. He was especially attracted to my daughter which she found alarming but I heard the teacher say " well he must like you, just ignore it " - when he was grinning and kicking her! Adults really have to take the lead here, teachers, brownie leaders, neighborhood parents etc. and model tolerance and understanding while setting limits for behavior. Acting like things are typical or " normal " when they're not is just confusing and a set up for discomfort and teasing.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 1999 Report Share Posted October 6, 1999 Molly was given this by the school social worker today. I thought you might all enjoy it. Ladies and gentleman of the class of '99: Wear sunscreen If could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it The long-term benefits of sun- screen have been proven by sci- entists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reli- able then my own meandering experience I will dispense this advice now Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth Oh, never mind--You will not un- derstand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked You're not as fat as you imagine Don't worry about the future; or worry, but know that worry- ing is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4PM on some idle Tuesday Do one thing every day that scares you Sing Don't be reckless with other people's hearts; don't put up w with people who are reckless with yours Floss Don't waste your time on jeal- ousy; sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind The race is long and in the end it's only with yourself Remember compliments you re- ceive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with the rest of your life The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives; some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't Get plenty of calcium Be kind to your knees, you'll miss them when they're gone Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't, maybe you'll have chil- dren, maybe you won't, maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary Whatever you do, don't congrat- ulate yourself too much or berate yourself either - your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's Enjoy your body, use it every way you can Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it, it's the great- est instrument you'll ever own Dance---Even if you have nowhere to do but in your own living room Read the directions, even if you don't follow them Do not read beauty magazines They will only make you feel ugly Get to know your parents You never know when they'll be gone for good Be nice to your sibling; they are your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you know when you were young Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft Travel Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders Respect your elders Don't expect anyone else to support you Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85 Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth But trust me on the sunscreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2000 Report Share Posted February 8, 2000 Dear & Collegues How about doing what I'm going to do with this same situation and a local M.D., who does not like D.C.'s and is the medical directory of a hospital-physician organization. As the director he reviews requests from local M.D.'s who are requesting chiropractic services for their patient's, prompted of course by the patient and their D.C., He unilaterally always decides that chiropractic care is not needed, that physical therapy (in house of course) can take care of the problem. I'm having the patient file a complaint with the O.B.C.E. for practicing chiropractic without a licence. One the same line the unilization reveiw committee which meeting once a month, which this same M.D. oversees can also and does review these as well. However they are all M.D.'s no D.C.'s to review these chiropractic cases, so I'm also going to have her file a complaint with the Department of Consumer & Business Services, Insurance Division-Consumer Protection Section. Asking these folks should there not be a chiropractic physician on this committee reviewing basicly what is appropriate chiropractic care???? Yes I wana kick some ass! The first complaint to the board should prompt an AG's opinon which we can hopefully use later to our advantage???

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2000 Report Share Posted February 16, 2000 Dr. DeSiena, It is a very common script. They use it as a disclaimer by saying they personally like chiropractic. Dr. Freeman is right the MD can do anything under his lic. he wants. However the one that the gatekeeper answers to is the HMO etc. I would simply tell your patient that you believe this MD maybe bias against DC even though he states he personally likes chiro. . Ask the patient to simply write (and maybe call as well) a short note to his/her carrier informing them about what happened and that they would be sad to find that this was some kind of pattern to restrict their (the patients) access to what they believe maybe proper care. This is a very hot area for managed care and they will typically do everything possible to keep a complaint from being sent to a ins. commissioner or the fed. and state representatives. If this gatekeeper gets enough complaints they will simply replace him /her as their bottom line is image and above all else is profit and they would do not want any avoidable complaints. There is another alternative which I have used several times in my small town and it has worked well. When I have a patient who doesn't have a MD and I feel it is more appropriate for them to be seen by one I will call the MD's (your gatekeeper) office and make the appt. personally for the patient and make it clear I believe the patient has a problem that I believe it would be more appropriate to be seen in their office. After a few of these the doctor will start referring back but still only if the patient asks about it but they are usually willing to try 3-6 tx.as a trial. If it doesn't help they will then send them off to PT. Last year I held a 1 hour mini seminar on chiropractic for MD's here in town. It was at the hospital and I sent a letter to the doctors inviting them I had about 9 of the PCP's and a couple of internists show. I talked about what we do, showed some c-spine films and talked about adjustments and even pasted around a activator for them to play with. They asked some good questions and it was very obvious that even though they had been referring to me they really didn't understand or know what it is that we do. I believe many of them think they know but really don't. It is important that you realize that most of our patients understand or know more about chiropractic then MD's do. If you expect to get referrals from them you have to make the MD comfortable that they are doing the right thing. The only real way of doing they is taking the bull by the horns and educating them. I wish you the best Good luck Steve Kinne No Subject > I was wondering how many of you have heard your patients tell you this > new MD gate keeper script, " Personally, I like chiropractic.

Simon, Welcome to the group! Wooo Hooo....our first male member who has actually posted.... Hope we don't scare you away! That's awesome that both you and your fiancee are doing tae-bo. You will both be looking incredible by your wedding in July! There are a couple other gals on here from England....I'm glad that it's starting to take off over there! I'm sure you'll find tons of motivation and support here....it's a great group! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
