Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 Jill, My neurologist says it's not just for cosmetic reasons. Without treatment, when our babies grow into little kids, there's a high probability that their little heads won't fit into protective gear (helmets for bike riding, etc.) which could put them in grave danger if they get into an accident. & -----Original Message----- From: jastss@...

Well they just called me and said they were rejecting me because my neglegent ped said he didn't think this treatment was even necessary and I was treating my son for cosmetic reasons not medical reasons! I am so angry I don't even know what to do right now! I need to write a letter to this ped, but my anger and frustration are clogging my brain. I have just now switched to a different ped here that I know is knowledgeable about plagio and will be willing to help me. But I can't see her for 30 days because the insurance makes you wait that long. It's not really that we were counting on angel flight or that we would have even used them every time. It's just that my stupid ped has just finally pushed me over the edge! HELP! Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 My doctor said this too. As a matter of fact, they had a 5 yr old come in, who couldn't be helped, but they brought their bike helmet for example. The helmet sat on this girls head practically sideways - and that was after she fought to get it on her head.
