Guest guest Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 now what do we have to do? go to the NBC site and write exactly what you wrote? can I have the web site again? I think we should also contact Discovery Health, they do a lot of specials on miricle doctors and special people I'm sure they would pick up the story. faith slattery wrote:Did everyone see that I posted Ponseti's wish?

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Faith, I did see your post but I think I was the only one who responded yesterday, seems not too many of us were online yesterday. Anyway, I think we need to have a little bit more discussion on this and then hustle to have everyone put in their nominations on the show's websidte -- they are already showing previews on TV so that means they already have episodes filmed, we will need to get our act in gear if we want this to happen in this season of the show. My suggestion would be to certainly use what Dr. P suggested but I think we need to come up with something specific in how we all write it up as well as think about how we can present it so that they will bite. Seems they will want something big and showy - not just presenting him with a check. If I have a chance today I will work on something to suggest to you all.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 What if we ask them to set up some sort of reunion or something of the children that he has helped with his work. Then, at that reunion event, they could present a check.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 I think this is a good idea. In this respect I think a big part of this " wish " thing, while it is for Dr. P., is also for all of us -- to get a chance to tell him thank you. What does everyone else think? The other thing I was going to suggest was, since part of whatever would be donated to U of I Clubfoot Clinic would be for bringing in doctors to train with him, could the show actually arrange to have some docs brought in to train or arrange a special symposium and bring in non-ponseti docs who otherwise might not be able to come? > > > Did everyone see that I posted Ponseti's wish?

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Jenni and Faith Thank you Faith for talking with Dr. P for us. Now that we have his input I hope we can actually get this done. Big and showy will be a must for the show, or tear jerker.(ever watch Ty on Home Makeover? I can't help but cry at every show and can't miss one.) The reunion sounds good. With Dr.s too? We are not Dr. P's patients but want to honor him for his lifes work which directly affected my daughter, and many of you. Big, showy.....hummmmm.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 I'm all for whatever everyone can come up with, is building a new workshop... maybe we keep that in mind? I can't, unfortunately spens much time on it other than sending in my nomination... brought home a horrendous cold which Gabe now has. You can imagine the fun I'm having with the breastfeeding-est kid around who now can't breath through his nose.... Talk about mad...UHHGGG...

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2005 Report Share Posted August 30, 2005 Remember the " This is Your Life " TV show? I don't recall the exact title; maybe that's not right, but basically, they had some person on there that others wanted to honor, and the honoree didn't know what was going on, but the show would tell stories about the wonderful things this person had done, and then one by one people special to this honoree would be brought out, as a surprise, and they'd talk about the big impact this honoree had had on that person's life. Maybe NBC could do something similar with Dr. Ponseti, bringing out people of all ages that he has helped, and maybe also some of the docs who have really changed their practices because of what they learned from him. Of course Dr. P all by himself is fascinating and charming and wonderful, but when he's with a baby he's just magic (at least, he was with my baby), so they should show him with some of the babies, and they should show " before " photos of baby feet and then have those same babies (now toddlers and older) walk out (BAREFOOT OF COURSE!). It could be very powerful, and at the end they could give him a huge check for the endowment he wants to continue his work. What do you think? I agree we have to get this submitted ASAP because they are probably getting hundreds of ideas. Pamela Karydas (mom to Dinos, BCF, 5 June 2000, treated by Drs.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Lots of good ideas out here. I'm trying to write up some of the ideas into something organized -- what are everyone's thoughts on how this should be presented? I mean, I don't just want to say we want to nominate him and here's what the wish is. I think we need to give a little background on him and the method but I'm not sure how much is too much, kwim? I started writing a paragraph, which has turned into this LONG explanation...how much background information do you all think is necessary? > > > > Did everyone see that I posted Ponseti's wish?

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 In my experience, I'd say generally for the media it has to be short and punchy to get their attention. It's difficult to condense it, but that's what sells an idea, people aren't going to read through it all - they don't have the time. Sorry I can't add more, I'm on tight deadline and working like crazy! Moss Steps Charity www.steps.org.za Re: Ponseti's Wish Lots of good ideas out here.
