Guest guest Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Here's a good answer for that question DR: how long has she had it? parent: since CONCEPTION! Silly Dr Our Cf doc is on vacation for a week so I had to talk to his substitute. THe guy called me and identified himself as Dr. Shapiro, the pediatric resident. Here is how our conversation went: Dr: So, katie has cystic fibrosis? Me: um, yes. DR. AND HOW LONG HAS SHE HAD IT? ME: (after I stopped laughing) Um, gee, I think all of her life! That poor dr. He was trying really hard to act like a real life grown up doctor. I bet he will never ask that question to someone with a chronic illness ever again! Hope everyone has a great weekend! e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Thats what we always say too. Duhhh!!! It's not like you can catch it or something. I had a neighbor once who thought that, and her kids could never come over to our house again. But in the end she was a witch so I was glad we weren't her friends. judy ('s mom, She's 20 now and doing great) ------------------------------------------- The opinions and information exchanged on this list should IN NO WAY be construed as medical advice.
