Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 Hi, My questions probably sound so stupid to you. What is clinic? I see that word used a lot. Is it a doctor visit? My boys go to a doctor appointment every 2-3 months. They do the breathing test, get a throat culture and a physical. We go to Dr. Turcios at St. 's hospital in New Brunswick, NJ. He is a CF specialist and the director of pediatric pulmonology at the hospital. Is that clinic? mom of 2 w/cf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 YES. It is also a CF center . Your questions are great. Many folks are on the list that live in other countries OR choose to go to docs in their city /town singly. It is fin. the cf centers generally have docs that attend many CF conferences & learn the newest updates on meds & treatments. soooooo, folks feel it is better for the person with Cf. that is all in how you fell .There weren't those around for years , soooooooo, the folks over 30 didn't have them to go until later in their lives. NOW another thing here on the lists is .PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS.........also answer any you feel you have an idea, experience---opinion on. That is what we do share the info & caring here with each other. YOU ARE NEVER ALONE......... LOVE & HUGS< GrandmomBEV What is clinic? Hi, My questions probably sound so stupid to you.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 YEs, that sounds like what Chas's " clinics " are. We go every 3 yo 4 weeks because he was in the hospital so often, but now we go back in six weeks because he is doing better. le, mom of Chas(18 mos( wcf What is clinic?
