Guest guest Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Hey, I went to the msn clubfoot group today, I havent' been there in like 6 months, just to check it out, I saw it looked dessereted as of April 2005. But there was a post saying someone had started a new clubfoot group a yahoo one called surgical clubfooters. I have never heard of that one, I haven't went through and read the group post yets to see what it is all about yet, but it lets you join pretty easy, so I joined but it will take awhile to go through it there was like about 300 posts on it. There was a quote about Dr. Herzenberg and surgery on the home page of it which through me off, but I still need to go through. Does anyone here know about it, that could brief me before I go through 300 posts??? I know sometimes people get upset/pissed off when people from this group go onto the other yahoo group " clubfoot " and give non-surgical advice...I'm guilty I try to save people from surgery when I can (even through Collin has had surgery). But I'm not sure if that is warning for no savior posts by calling the group surgical clubfooters. Hopefully they won't get too mad that I posted about a surgical clubfoot group on a non surgical clubfoot group.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Michele, I have never checked out the surgical clubfooters group, though I was meaning to, thanks for the reminder. Someone from the yahoo clubfoot group started it some months back, after an exchange of offenses on the clubfoot board, as a place where parents whose children had already had surgery could find support. I don't think it has much to do with choosing surgical treatment over nonsurgical treatment. Rather, most of the folks involved are ones who did not know about the existence of the Ponseti method, most of them have children over the age of 5 or 6 who are past the point where they could start over with the Ponseti method. I do think that it is terrific that many of these parents who simply did not know about the Ponseti method, who are clearly dedicated to the well-being of their children, have also become strong advocates for the Ponseti method. There have been several of these kinds of messages on the clubfoot board in the last week.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I haven't read to see if someone answered you, but I found this group last week and saw the quote. I wondered what context is was taken out of or when it was said, because from what I have read, I can't imagine him saying that about surgery. I believe I saw something several months ago mentioned on the clubfoot site about this group being formed because of what went on during the bracelet discussion (If you were on that group you probably remember it!) I don't have any other info. on the group but it would be interesting to read the posts! Did you know...

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Hi Naomi, I must have missed the posts on the other board with problems with the bracelets. I was sick alot this year and tried going through and catching up on both the boards (clubfoot and nosurgery4clubfoot), but I guess I missed more then I though. I'm just going to join all the boards, I can never learn to much!!!! Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
