Guest guest Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I just saw a commercial on ABC for a new show called Miracle Doctor. It is a reality type show where they highlight doctors who have done fabulous things. I don't know if clubfeet can compete with life threatening illnesses but I would love it if we could somehow nominate Dr. Ponseti. It is not yet on the ABC website. I tried to send an email to ABC, but on the bottom it said that they can not accept creative or show ideas on that email and it would be forwarded to the legal dept. for action if sent.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Yeah, I just saw the commercial too...I was all set to write 's mom (Joyce). 's story is so inspirational that I thought that they would feature her for sure...When I read more about it on their site, I saw that this show has a few specific " Hollywood Docs " that they employ...These are the doctors that will do all of the procedures like fixing a cleft pallette. They (unfortunately) aren't looking to feature true miracle-working doctors, like Doctor Ponseti. They are just going to use these specific young doctors at least for now to do quick-fix procedures. (Maybe the show's format will change over time?) I'm sure that these doctors will also do wonderful things, but they aren't what most of us are looking for. =-( ( 2/1/05 bcf: P/M 22/7) > >I just saw a commercial on ABC for a new show called > >Miracle Doctor.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 It's a shame, too, because cf occures as often as cleft pallat. s.
