Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Faith and Kathleen, our messages crossed.. thanks for the positive feedback on the idea! I'm glad to know you think it's a reasonable one.. Guess I was too quick to criticize myself.. My bitterness on this topic probably shows.. So many of the parents here, and I, have tried so hard over the years to get news outlets interested (I have a news background, and I feel I know a good story when I hear it, even though I'm biased in this case). I just don't get how difficult it's been. Hopefully this show will be the one that takes off with it.. before time runs out.. > Ok-I am taking Kori's suggestion and starting a new message.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 , Your part in another message brought tears to my eyes! ***I have always wished, and never understood, why shows such as Oprah,etc. don't see the interest and want to pick up this story.. It's so compelling.. a doctor in his 90s, under such demand, treating babies from all over the country, all over the world.. fixing their tiny feet with his aged hands.. the oldest of doctors, the youngest of patients.. it's such a great story, with visuals to spare.. and much better than much of the garbage you see on those shows that passes for infotainment...*** I also have never had the wondrous opportunity to meet Dr Ponseti in person but his training of Dr Herzenberg " saved " my daughter's foot!! This idea for " Three Wishes " is SOOOO wonderful and we have to keep trying to get Dr P's miracle work acknowledged I am not a great idea creator but when there is a decision made, trust me that my nomination will be sent!!

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Dr. Dobbs is working on thinking of some ideas too, I told him about what we had been talking about and he said he would give me some suggestions. He probably won't get back with me for a couple days though if that is not too late? > Ok-I am taking Kori's suggestion and starting a new message.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 All, spoke to Joyce today... She couldn't think of a thing off-hand, but she's going to talk to Ponseti about it. They're calling me back later today about Gabe's video... maybe I'll hear something then, but more than likely it too will be at least a few days. wrote:Dr. Dobbs is working on thinking of some ideas too, I told him about what we had been talking about and he said he would give me some suggestions.
