Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Cindy, I would write a ltter to that doctor and to the administrator of his practice! I think that's absolutely horrible! I can't imagine them not telling you this!!!! Love Lana > I just picked up some more of Dylan's x-rays to take to NIH. The reports were in the package. A few months before Dylan started hurting, he fell on the High School bleachers. It really hurt him so I took him in for x-rays. The report says he fractured his right lateral aspect of the right transverse process of L 3. Sure would have been nice of the Dr to tell us, don't ya think? His back hurt him for 2 months. Guess she thought it wasn't important enough to mention. I'm so glad we got away from that Dr. Urgggggg. she makes me so mad!. > Cindylouwho > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 I absolutely see your point! I know what you mean about being tired and choosing your battles. I'm sure you understand where I'm coming from as well. Like you said, be grateful you left her, and I guess it cautions all of us not to ever be too trusting of the medical profession - as if we were anyway, right??

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Cindy my Buddy, Like I said over the phone, file a complaint against that Doctor with the AMA, American Medical Association!!!! That just isn't right!!!!! URGHHHHH!! Me too! Love, S. TTYT Why don't they tell us??! > I just picked up some more of Dylan's x-rays to take to NIH. The reports were in the package.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Hi dear Cindy-roomie, I get so maaad for you and Dylan when I read this!!!! Some of these docs can't have an IQ much higher than their shoe size, that is for sure... How disrespectful not informing you about such an important finding... It is downright mean and disrespectful not to tell a patient and the parents about such a finding. They might not be able to do anything but recommend rest, but that is not the point. When you have that kind of pain, and there is a reason for it, you have the right to know... There's some real stupid docs out there. I managed to go diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis for 5 years myself without knowing it. I only found out when I was 22 that I had already got the diagnosis at 17 yrs of age. They never told me, it wasn't until a doc on a treatment trip diagnosed me, and I went back and told my doc, he told me, and the stupid guy then looked back in my file, and said to me that it was noted back then.... I went 5 years with all that pain, and could have had a name for it (even if the PA was only part of my pain, but at least having that diagnosis would have been such a relief)..... Send a complaint.... hugs, Aase Marit >I just picked up some more of Dylan's x-rays to take to NIH. The >reports were in the package.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 From: Cindy H. To: ceda Sent: Friday, August 06, 2004 11:39 AM Subject: Re: Why don't they tell us??! Cindy, After using a tens unit one day, I had SEVERE pain in my low back. By chance the doctor had an x-ray taken a few days later---told me it was ok- only later when reading results did I learn the facet had fractured (on my spine). Really ticked me off. By this time, I'd already stopped seeing this particular doctor. CindyH Wisc. ****************************** You fractured you back from the tens unit?!?!?!?!?!?
