Patsy, the name of the company is Ventritex the name of there device is the

angstrom I believe. 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. Makal

-- " a big thump that took your breath away " sounds like you got

Patsy, Hi my name is Makal, I work for a EP lab in Clearwater,FL. Please

call me at my office and I will try and get to the bottom of this with

Ventritex. I had a lot of my own patients I awnser all kinds of questions for.

If you want you can call me at 1-800-462-0077 ext 27208. If I am not there you

can leave a message and I will get gback to you. Makal.

He got the implant in Nov. He had additional surgery in Jan. and

surgery was held up because we had no card. 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.

Patsy

[Guest guest]

Lee.JD et al-Thanks to your help, I reached Ventritex. I used the

number you gave me. 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. Can you believe

this?

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!

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

Welcome to the list. Your son sounds like he

has some Asperger's Syndrome symptons. You

might want to bring this up with your Dr.

Sounds like my son too, although he has a mild case of OCD. For us, Paxil

was the magic drug!! I bet the Zoloft will help your son -give it a couple of

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.

Take care

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.

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.

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

[Guest guest]

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???

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

Welcome, Simon. Your wedding sounds wonderful. My tip would be not to

look for DAILY changes in weight or inches, ... . Give taebo a good

try (like a month) and then see how you feel. Daily changes are too

misleading and looking for them is often disappointing.

Wow! A person of the male persuasion enters our hollowed halls!

Welcome, Simon! And welcome to your fiancee! (What's her name, by the

way?)

You have found the right place for support here. The people here are

terrific...we're all at different levels of fitness and weight loss,

and we offer each other incredible support and motivation.

How did you find out about us?

Tell us more about yourself(ves).

;-)

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!

starting Tae-Bo!! You will get lots of support here! And you know I think

you are the first male to actually speak up here! LOL maybe others will fall

out of the wood work now! I added your intro to the web site... you can find

it at http://taeboon.isportsdot.com/
