Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Actually, Dr. Moseman had told me he wanted to send Mollie to the Shriners because " she needs surgery " so that is what I was expecting (glad he was wrong). Where it gets even worse is that he told me that he trained at the Shriners hospitals (so I thought he knew what he was talking about) AND he said he recommeds Lexington over St Louis because ( I quote word for word here) " The main DR at St Louis is arrogant and condecending and talks down to everyone. He's not that superior of a surgoen to have that attitude " It just turns out that my local Shriner chapter sent my application to St louis because unfortunaly I just assumed he knew what he was talking about. Marci wrote: Marci, Yeah! I'm so glad your doctor referred you to Shriners and that you found Dr. Dobbs - he is truly one of the best. Mollie is in excellent hands now and should be through the casting process in no time. Let us know if you need any advice or have any specific questions. I am also pleasantly surprised that your original ortho admitted he wasn't having any luck and recommended you to someone more experienced -- this is great, one step closer to converting doctors to doing the right thing!

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 , Actually, I'm in Solsberry, but yes Dr Kent Moseman in Bloomington is who I went to. I really think he was a nice guy and have heard lots of great things about him, as far as broken bones and such. He just really seemed like he didn't haven't much experience with babies at all. Mollie would cry and kick and scream the whole time he was casting her and he kinda acted like he didn't know how to handle it. Goodin wrote: Marci- Are you in Bloomington? Dr. Moseman is a wonderful doctor, but I am sure he doesn't get many clubfoot kids. I think he usually gets athletic injuries if it is the same guy. I grew up in Bedford and know him and Dr. Fox. I went to Moseman when I was younger for one of my knees. Just wondered if it was the same guy. You are very lucky in the Dr. you were sent to. Good luck with everything! Re: Re: new member Actually, Dr. Moseman had told me he wanted to send Mollie to the Shriners because " she needs surgery " so that is what I was expecting (glad he was wrong). Where it gets even worse is that he told me that he trained at the Shriners hospitals (so I thought he knew what he was talking about) AND he said he recommeds Lexington over St Louis because ( I quote word for word here) " The main DR at St Louis is arrogant and condecending and talks down to everyone. He's not that superior of a surgoen to have that attitude " It just turns out that my local Shriner chapter sent my application to St louis because unfortunaly I just assumed he knew what he was talking about. Marci wrote: Marci, Yeah! I'm so glad your doctor referred you to Shriners and that you found Dr. Dobbs - he is truly one of the best. Mollie is in excellent hands now and should be through the casting process in no time. Let us know if you need any advice or have any specific questions. I am also pleasantly surprised that your original ortho admitted he wasn't having any luck and recommended you to someone more experienced -- this is great, one step closer to converting doctors to doing the right thing! Best of luck. > Hi everyone. I am new and want to introduce myself. My name is > Marci. I am from Indiana. My husband and I had our first baby, > Mollie, in May. She has bilateral clubfoot.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Pam, I live in Solsberry, a little town near Bloomington. Our trip to St Louis is about 4 to 41/2 hours but that is with several stops because Mollie gets frustrated in her carseat and cries to get out and be fed.
