Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 I just wanted to thank Hannah's mom for this handout. I gave one to our Family Dr. at our 6 month appt. today. He and his nurse didn't have clue when I came in and asked for a referral for MacKenzie. They both said, " Oh, she has tort " and I told them, " No, she has plagio " . They responded " Oh, it's the same thing " - um, NO, it's not. So I printed your page out yesterday and brought it in today. They both read it and he took it with him when he left the room. Hopefully, this will help out other people when they bring their babies in to see him. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this and thanks to everyone here for all I learn everyday!

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 , It is scary when you have to educate your doctor, isn't it?! I'm SO glad that you found Hannah's handout helpful and I hope your doctor reads it and passes it along! I tried hard to get something that had all the necessary info on it, but fit on one page to make it reader friendly for people who wouldn't take the time to read something longer (like doctors!). Our pediatrician has them in her office and I gave them to our local Early Intervention office as well as other pedi offices. I also kept them in her diaper bag for when someone asked me for more info about her helmet. You are more than welcome to change around the handout for your baby's story. , mom to Hannah, DOCgrad Cape Cod, Ma > > > > > > I just wanted to thank Hannah's mom for this handout.
