Bobby, The ignorance is especially acute when it comes to issues of aging and CP (nothing like stating the obvious, eh?). -----Original Message----- From: Bobby Greer [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, September 17, 1999 12:10 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Dr/'s ignorance about CP Kyle, I wish we could keep this thread re: Dr.'s lack of knowledge about CP. My internist's son, a cardiologist, was prepping me for an arteriogram and ask what CP was. He hasn't been out of med. school that long. Here in Memphis we have the med school and LeBonnheur Hospital which is a children's hospital. They have a ped's neurology clinic and the staff there is great from my understanding. We also have a high risk newborn center with the Med(Elvis Presley) which is second to none. Most of those kids are treated as CP when they are released from ICU. But outside those, the medical community here is pretty ignorant about things CP. Bobby
