Re: Dilema -> please help!

I'd call Dr. Mosca and tell him what Dr. Ponseti has requested and see what he

says.

Dilema -> please help!

Ok, so Dr. Ponseti and want me to remove Kai's cast as soon as

the shoes arrive and take photos so they have them for their meeting (I think it

is on Monday). Dr. Mosca, however, has asked that we leave the cast on until

Wednesday so that he can see how Kai's foot looks immediately out of the cast.

The immediate thought is to do as Dr. Ponseti asked as he and are working

very hard on Kai's behalf to get things fixed. But at the same time, Dr. Mosca

is the attending doctor, and I do trust him. If I did not, I would have take

Kai back to Iowa in the first place when he relapsed the second time. I don't

feel right going against Dr. Mosca's request. After all, he is the one who has

done this casting, and Dr. Ponseti has not seen Kai's foot (other than photos)

since September last.

This is so hard! All of these people have Kai's best interest in mind and

have taken time out of their schedules to talk about and help him. What would

you do?

Thanks. I did do that ... well, rather I told Dr Mosca's nurse, since they

guard their darn doctors like they were made of gold. That was Dr Mosca's

reply. However, I have no idea of knowing if he understood that Dr P and JM are

needing photos for monday's meeting to make a long-term plan for the orthotics

for kai.

Well, Perhaps Dr. Mosca could do with photos that you take for Dr. Ponseti and

... You could take lots so he knows what it looked like. And I do know how

those nurses protect their Dr's but perhaps this is a time when you need to talk

with him directly...

Angel, this is probably late but if I were in your shoes, I would

call Dr. Mosca and explain your situation to him. Let him know that

Dr. P and are having this meeting on Monday to discuss

Kai's case and that they wanted to photos. Perhaps he can see you

and Kai before Monday?
