"Who knows, if you were involved directly with the pt's care you may have, with your attitude even interferred with their care." No, I was not involved - But this statement is really sick. It really is. You are a sick person and to think that I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY? Gross. I need a shower. I...

"As was said earlier most neuroblastomas are Dx at stage 4 when the prognosis is poor." WRONG. Most neuroblastoma is dx after it has metastisized, not when it is at stage 4. Of course I suppose the oncologist treating Grant lied when he told us that he had never seen a case diagnosed so late...

Obviously, I came here because there is much I don't know. I never even considered the ENT until after your post. It was the attorney who was also very interested in this aspect of the case. Therefore there may be something there. The ENT will be providing his medical records as well as the atty...

QUOTE "I see you were replying to my last post, what happened?" Well, you asked me a question. The question was free from sarcasm and seemed sincere so I replied. ?

I also understand the doubts that you "all have". The real story is that I don't care about your doubts or whether you think this case has any merit to it. Truly, I don't. That does me not one bit of good. I came for ADVICE, not to be ruthlessly interrogated by those who have about as much court...

I assumed (in error) that the ENT would not be liable on any level. It IS feasable that the tumor was bulging and/or causing pressure in the ear. Perhaps there was an infection, I don't know. So, if the ENT meerly treated the problem of an ear infection, looking for cancer or tumor as an...

PS.. no, they (attys) do not want or require a retainer.

Quote "Please update us after your consultation with the medmal attorney." Since this is a reasonable, level headed request, I'll respond as to what I know THUS FAR. Two attorney's called me this morning. One from Spartanburg who conference in another atty from Cola. In checking around some...

"I don't find it odd that she has not called to check on the boy, I have pt's dx everyday with terminal dz and cannot possibly call them all to check on them. It is not a flipant attitude, it is the sad truth of how busy we ALL are" Of COURSE YOU don't have time to call and check on anyone. You...

"The only recourse I see is to get the atty involved and see if there is anything in here for a case" I totally agree.

THERE IS ONLY ONE TYPE OF NEUROBLASTOMA. Apparently I wasn't clear on my last post. What do you mean by TYPE? It's pediatric neuroblastoma, diagnosed in stages. PERIOD. Again, I appreciate the insight and the helpful posts but resent having to answer for 'the mother's actions' or what...

"Calm down. Until your last post, you made perfectly good sense and presented your concerns in a very intelligent manner; now emotions are detracting from your concerns--example--The urine test required is not a simple 'pee in the cup'; it is a 24-hour collection of urine. How easy would it be...

I am not a physician and I don't believe anyone posting in this thread has a license. I am going by what I was told by two pediatric oncologists have told me on more than one occasion. I need not defend that position or spend hours visiting statistical info on this cancer. I believe what was...

"You are telling me that a doc sees a pt roughly 3 x a week and NO bloodwork/urine was performed" YES, that is exactly what I am telling you. It is hard to believe but true nonetheless. I believe this is why the current doctors who are now treating her son keep reminding her of the 'lack of...

Urine should be done as a matter of routine in pediatrics and family medicine. My pediatrician does? It should most certainly be done in a chronically sick child just to rule out x,y or z. We aren't talking looking for neuroblastoma or cancer in every child, we are talking standard medical...
