Guest guest Posted October 3, 2001 Report Share Posted October 3, 2001 , I am sorry that this sample was corrupted. I urge you to get this sample taken elsewhere, as this is not the first time this has happened at that hospital. I have heard from many families with the same complaint. One entire family I know of submitted not only skin samples, but muscle biopsies, mouth swabs, etc. from members all over Ontario and other provinces as well....and after three years of waiting for a result, have yet to hear anything. It is believed that the samples were lost and no one is willing to admit it! There are some doctors there who seem to using the samples for their own purposes, and this is perhaps what happened to Petra's sample. I furnished you with the name of our medical board member who is happy to see you and take a sample, I am sure. I understood that the sample was taken in May, am I wrong? There is no waiting time to wait for approval for our healthcare plan to send it to Seattle, so you might want to investigate why this sample was not sent immediately. When our doctor takes a sample, it goes to Seattle that day. Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 Hi Jill could you please go ahead and send that information just incase. I just don't want to step on any toes. Mybe you don't know this but I got this info from Seattle them selves. Sue Ginley Introduced me to Pepin who wrote me write away to tell what was going on. I feel like a rock that has just been thrown into space and there is no way to get back to earth, meaning getting the results needed. Sick Kids has not even called me back to tell me this and its been since Sept. 20 when they were faxed about this. I hope that you have been well Jill, Re: Petra's Biopsy > , > > I am sorry that this sample was corrupted.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 Hi , I will send you the doctors name and number. She is kind, gentle and wonderful. Never feel that you are stepping on anyone's toes when it comes to medical care. You have a right to answers and proper treatment and you have to sometimes, speak up and shout to be heard. Jill Hi Jill could you please go ahead and send that information just incase. I just don't want to step on any toes. Mybe you don't know this but I got this info from Seattle them selves. Sue Ginley Introduced me to Pepin who wrote me write away to tell what was going on.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 & Petra, Don't worry about venting...that's what we're hear for. Say what you need to get out. We can all identify with medical setbacks that are caused by something other than our medical condition. With having so much to deal with it's bound to happen..just wish it hadn't happened with THIS particular test. I know it's hard to wait...but know that we're praying for you both during this time of uncertainty. Love y'all, Janet PS - GIB'M HELL!! : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
