Guest guest Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 If Birmingham is reapplying the plaster cast every 2 wks, then Mehtas Early Treatment principles arent being adhered to. Is your son being anesthetized for every cast application? Do you know if his casts are being applied on a EDF casting frame? We recently had a mum in England that switched from Birmingam to Oxford, recently and is pleased. Hopefully, she will see your post and share with you her experiences... I'de try setting up a consult asap with the Royal National in Stanmore and Oxford. Email me privately for docs names isop06@...
