Re: Thanks and another question

[Guest guest]

His endo stated clearly in her letter to BCBS that my son could die in

his sleep because he would never know he had gone too high or too low.

We have talked to our employer's BCBS rep and done all of the

paperwork to no avail.

Now to my question...is there anyone else out there that has had this

type of problem? We need more documentation to support our " case " .

Ike, my son, was NOT diabetic when he had this

surgery. The endo says that his body, for unknown reasons, attacked his

pancreas and killed it.

Reba:

I am in agreement with the other people who said to contact your local

congressman, tv stations, etc. These people weild a lot of power,

especially when they're hitting a " for profit " insurance company right

where it hurts.

On the flip side of the coin, if all these doctors are so concerned

about your son, has anyone offered to donate their services for this

much needed life saving surgery? If they are willing to take time to

write letters on his behalf, then maybe they would be willing to donate

their time. You can also speak with the hospital and anesthesiologist.

If one donates their services, the others usually follow. Over the years

working for surgeons and such, I have seen it done a few times, very

hush, hush because they didn't want the word getting around. Funny, if

they did it for someone who was coming in from another country they

would have camera crews at their offices. If they do it for somebody

local, they didn't want anyone to know, otherwise other people would

expect " free medicine " . JMHO.

Hoping that you hear good news soon.
