Re: Going back to our local doctor

[Guest guest]

We did the same - went to Dr. P without telling our local Ortho. However, I did

finally confess and he was interested in seeing her casts. He followed our case

and when we had reached a point with Dr. P where he could no longer figure out

what to do for her we went back to him. He has suggested several times that the

ATTT was necessary so we've finally consented. Now we feel like we've committed

infidelity with Dr. P! LOL However when he looked up at me and said " I just

don't know why her foot keeps relapsing. I shouldn't be a problem now and the

only thing I can do is recast it " we knew it was time to see if anyone else

could help. It is a hard line but you just have to know inside that you've done

your best for your daughter and that's all that counts.

Going back to our local doctor

Okay, I have committed doctor infidelity. LOL I went to see Dr.

Ponseti without telling my local orthopedist here. I know I am not

the only one who has done this and I am nervous about how to approach

this issue with him. I like him a lot but went to Dr. Ponseti because

only he could answer some questions I had about 's feet, which

are atypical in some ways. I would like to think that my doc here

would like to see a Ponseti cast. He has been trained by Dr. Ponseti

so is following the Ponseti method for the most part. Any suggestions

or experiences to share? I will post later about my visit with Dr.

Ponseti. It was a wonderful experience!

Don't worry Carol. I'm sure your ortho will understand. I did

somewhat the same thing, but without the actual visit to Dr. P. I

told my ortho all along that I was communicating with Dr. P via

phone/email. When this whole " c " shaped thing came along and I heard

from Dr. P that my little guy may need 1-2 more casts, I called the

ortho. It was so hard to tell him in a way which wouldn't be

interpreted as an offense. I simply told him that from the last set

of pics that I sent to Dr. P, he suggested 1-2 more casts would be

necessary. Then I told my ortho that I would like him to take a look

to see what he thinks. I really respect our ortho doctor and trust

his opinion also.
