Shriner's

[Guest guest]

I have had to week from you know where! After making several calls

to different Shrine Temples to get help with transportation, I ended

up calling the Murat Temple, which is in Indianapolis, Indiana. The

man I talked to was one of the rudest people I have ever talked to.

He told me since I chose to go to St. Louis instead of Chicago,

Lexington, or Columbus, They were not going to help me in any way.

The only thing they said that they could do is, I would drive to

TerreHaute[which is at least an hour and a half away] and they would

drive me from there. He said that they are not going to drive me

accross the country just because I prefer one hospital over the

other, he said after all we are giving you free healthcare! I was

outraged at the way I was treated and am thinking about just seeing

Dr. Dobbs at St. Louis Children's Hospital and not even messing with

the SHriner's. That man had me in tears! My husband and I have not

had any help from anyone, we do everything on our own and the one

time we asked for help we were treated like scum! Oh and as far as

the free healthcare goes, my insurance will be paying the majority

of the bill! St. Louis Children's Hospital is on our ppo list and

we only have a 20 dollar co-pay, the only thing they would be

helping us on is that and the 20 percent deductable for outpatient

surgeries. I don't know what we are going to do. Tyler's casts

have gotten soft in one of the heals, I emailed Dr. Dobbs and he

hasn't answered yet, I have an apt. at Shriner's for Thursday, but

got him in at the children's hospital on Tue. Waiting to see what

the doc wants me to do. SOrry to unload on you guys but I am at my

wits end!
