Children's Pain Team/Patty

[Guest guest]

Hi Patty

I'm so sorry that Cassie has pain that her doctor's aren't treating

properly. I have to say that we had a bit of a bumpy start with the

pain team, but we wound up with Dr. Navil Sethna treating Joey's

pain. This man was truly sent from heaven. I can't tell you the

number of times he has exceeded the normal doctor/patient

relationship. There are so many examples, but the one that I'd like

to share is about Joey's surgery. He insisted on being the

anesthesiolgist for what turned out be a 15 1/2 hour surgery. He

refused to leave when the second team arrived and actually stayed at

the hospital until the next day. Most of the rest of the team have

been wonderful too, but there is nothing worse than when the new

interns arrive and think they know better than the doctors who have

been managing a situation for years. If you can get an appointment

with Dr. Sethna, I would definitely recommend taking the time to see

him. Thank you for your kind words! We will keep Cassie and your

whole family in our prayers.
