to push or not

[Guest guest]

Thank you all for your reponses and I have followed your advice to push

forward. Turns out we're getting PT for my daughter (torticollis) and

I scheduled an appointment with CIRS to see if my daughter would

benefit from a band. Depending on their findings maybe the

pediatrician will take us more seriously. It annoys me that (parents)

we're the ones who are making the diagnosis when the doctors are

suppose too. Maybe I should look into getting another pediatrician.

Thanks again for the help and info. -elizabeth f

It is really hard to find a ped who is plagio aware. I think it only

happens after they have patients wearing helmets/bands then they

finally get it. Until then you hear dumb things like " it will correct

itself by the time he's 3 " ....

Unfortunately doctors seem really uneducated about this, inspite of

the huge rise in plagio since the Back To Sleep campaign and its

success. If your ped gives you the Rx once you have the data I would

probably stay. However if they refuse, are rude, think they know

best... then I would change doctors.

Let us know how your appointment with CIRS goes. Which location are you

going to? If you need a new ped post back here where you are located and I

bet someone can recommend one. We've had lots of people from the Bay Area

get banded at CIRS so there must be some pro-band doctors out there.
