Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Thanks for telling us about your experience with your dr. There are now 4 families in our town who have children with clubfeet who have gone to Iowa and another two that I know of who haven't. Our midwife is great about calling us when they have someone with the diagnosis via U/S. We are meeting with a family on Saturday. We went for a recheck with the local ortho. I told him we were going to Iowa for the symposium and Alaya was going to be a case study, hoping he would be interested in hearing more about the ponseti method but he didn't take the bait. I've talked to him before about it. His response was " Oh they use that in columbus " They don't everyone I've talked to who has gone to Columbus has had surgery. Why can't doctors get it through their thick skulls that this is the way to go???? Maybe someday. Any ideas how I can encourage our doctor without being overly pushy. I had all the articles that the drs. received last year at the symposium but since he didnt' seem interested I didn't offer them. I did give him copies of Alaya's records from Dr. P. He said her feet are wonderfully corrected but her tibia is twisted which isn't uncommon for children her age, but it may be affected by using the FAB. We are hoping to be in Las Vegas in February for a conference. My room mate from college (lifelong friend) is living there. Tony has a conference there so I think I'll go and hang out. I'd love to meet you and your family. Joanne and Alaya 8-22-01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
