Oh , I HATE people like that!!!!! Reminds me of my OLD primary doc.

When I had my neck pain and requested an MRI, we argued back and forth. He

said, " What, do you WANT surgery " !!!!! JERK He waited so long that by the

time I got to a neurologist, I was close to being paralyzed and had to have

emergency spinal fusion surgery. THEN the guy had the almighty NERVE to say

to me afterwards, " You weren't clear about the pain you were in " . I swear, I

thought I was going to hit him. I said, " oh, no? I passed out in your

office from pain; I think that's pretty clear!!!!! " I'm not the suing kind,

but

man, I'm angry at myself now that I didn't sue the pants off him!!!!!!

Can someone explain to me what the M.I.N.D. Institute stands for- and

what it is. We took our son to Kennedy Kreiger Institute and

obtained a PDD diagnosis along with his current status of DS. We

really liked the KKI and Dr. Capone. But just wondering with all the

posts about the M.I.N.D. Institue thanks kris - DS/PDD

Some people love this place some people hate them. About 5 years I

spoke to one to there dr before the Inst. was started.

She told me " What do you want another DX for? He already has DS " And

she refused to even see JJ. But I know of other families who love

them. Go figure.

M.I.N.D. stands for Medical Investigation of Neuro-developmental

Disorders. It is a clinic at UC in Sacramento that has

psychiatry, neurology and child development specialists. The doctor

we saw was Dr. ph Pinter. He is the Asst. Professor of Pediatric

Neurology and he specializes in Down Syndrome. Hope this answers

your questions.

I am so sorry that you had such a bad experience. I was very pleased

with our visit and was very impressed with the doctor, the way he

interacted with Tristan and his knowledge. Have not had

many " specialists " that I have been happy with. He was the first.
