Hi Greg,

I'm sorry to hear that the last couple of days have been not so good.  Hopefully the TIAs will cease, and you'll be back to normal (whatever that is!) soon.

Wish I could tell you more about Dr. Ogilvy.  Other than a listing indicating that MM is one of his clinical interests (very positive!), I couldn't find any info about the type(s) of surgery he does.  You should be able to find out pretty quickly via an email, though.

I have to ask:  By chance did Dr. Steinberg show up on your insurance database?  We'd love to have you out here . . . .

Hope you feel better soon,
Jill

Greg,

I'm happy to hear this news.  I know you have been waiting for a break.

Does Dr. Scott operate at another hospital besides Boston Children's?  I can't see you staying on the kids' floor!!

Greg,

So glad to hear the wonderful news about your insurance issues...I just received an email from a lady who has Kaiser Medical out here, but since she now receives SSDI, Kaiser is dropping her insurance!  She has been diagnosed with MM and is just in shambles...
 It's crazy that some are not able to receive the medical attention they need due to various insurance practices.    I had suggested she send her films to Dr.'s Fukushima and Steinberg for their opinions a few months ago, and she told me that when she recently followed up with Kaiser, they still haven't sent them.  I highly recommended she obtain the films, etc., and mail them herself!

About your TIAs, oh boy...I pray that things get better for you, Greg.  What did your dr.'s tell you to do when you're having them?    I'm just curious, if you don't mind me asking.

Hang in there, Greg.  We're all here for you and are keeping you in our prayers.  You've come a long way and are making great progress with your continued efforts.  Continue to be assertive.  You're on the right path and things are falling into place.  ;

Take care,
Shan
