seeing a new doctor

[sugs2780]

We are going to see Dr. Do tomarrow at cinncinatti childrens to see if Khyler is a canidate for the veptr procedure. Dr. Lenke's office called me on friday to tell me that they are putting Khyler's traction off for another month because the Dr. is too busy over the holiday weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: I am sooooooooooo angry how can you tell a person something is life threating for there kid and he needs emmediate care and then put it off for 3 months.

oh corina!

how awful that dr. lenke put your appt off. :mad: at least you have some other options.

good luck at your appt today in cincinnati. did you and gail ever touch base? i'm crossing fingers and toes for you guys that you get some good advice and can move forward and treat khyler's scoliosis.

This may seem like an isolated unfortunate incident - the fact that your son has fallen through the cracks - but stories like this are repeated countless times. It's very sad! Doctors should be held accountable.

celia,

you are so right. corina, i hope you don't mind, but i looked up information on the website of wash u to file a complaint. i don't know where you went to see dr. lenke, but if i were you and that angry (which you have every right to be), i would file a complaint. here's the information:
