Guest guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Keep on them ! Advocate for your son is the best thing you can do for him. Mommy radar and gut instinct is rarely ever wrong. We know our kiddos better than anyone! Please let me know how it goes. I'm always happy to help!

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hi , I am in the middle of about 12 things right now and I know I already sent you a whole novel, but thought it might help if I let you know that I DO know that Dr R and Dr M (the doctor he works with) are frequently in a single surgery for 12 - 14 hours straight, with one patient under general the whole time. They really take care of their patients. Google him and check him out a little if you are interested that is how I know. He has sent patients letters refusing them service because he is so busy in the past. fyi, sorry for sending this this way, off to look after three kids overwhelming my husband.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hey, Yeah, his receptionist is soooo not nice eh? Our pediatrician couldn't even get through her to talk to Dr. R!!! I went down there in person (that day I met you!), and still got nowhere... While I know the Dr.s at BCCH are very reputable, the crazy wait times, crammed waiting rooms, overbooking, etc. are a big part of why we skipped over them with Audrey and went straight to Shriners Hospital. My son has been seen at the ortho clinic there a ton (he had a bone tumour and then had it removed), and it's just been a miserable experience Good for you for being assertive! And btw, did you get an appointment at Portland? > > Hey everyone, > > so last week we got the go ahead From our Dr(hip lady) that his hips are good enough to have his cast put on YAY! so i get a call from Dr R and he said he want to wait till our appt on April 27th and teke more xrays and then if nothing has change we can cast him. well at first i though ok that gives him some time to get better on his feet but then i was think whats the point in waiting.... thaddeus wont be walking by then and we are just loosing time. so i called back that same day and wanted to talk to the Dr agian but he was gone for the day. i left a message. the next day no call... i called back and couldnt get through so left another message and voiced my concern.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 le,We any to Portland on feb 15. They didn't do xrays or anything. The dr told be they wouldn't treat Thaddeus unless we got reffered by Dr R. They barley looked at him and set us home. I know its frustrating but atleast Thaddeus can do his pool Pt in the mean time while we wait for a cast date. I'll keep calling and see where we get. April 27 isn't too far away I just want to get a cast date soon after that Sent from my iPhoneOn Mar 5, 2011, at 5:23 PM, "le Cross" <chilliwackpitbull@...> wrote: Hey, Yeah, his receptionist is soooo not nice eh?
