As pointed out to me, this message was actually intended to mean the offices of Dr's Reich and Redan, surgeons.
I am glad that I did take the oportunity to explain about the " Inner " workings of this society as far as fundings, education and support. We also offer tones and tons of " technical " assistance when requested...and all is done through the wonderful compassionate volunteers who, in the most part, are ARD sufferers or in my case...past ARD sufferers!! A wonderful cooperative effort that DOES make a difference.
My appologize to anonymouse" for coming down on you as your message is filled with much of the same frustrations many of us have felt or feel. You may not have stated things very well, and at times words are not understandable and thus reacted to, as I did here.
You may wish to speak to one of the outreach volunteers as we will offer as much information that we can regarding your impressions of Dr's Reich and Redan, we can educate you as to the reasons why the costs are what they are, we can and will offer suggestions as to ways to raise moneys needed for surgery with them, or other surgeons that you might elect to utilize for your adhesion needs. You may even have a few answers or suggestions as to ways to get the insurance companys to not only listen to us, but get them to pay what is requiered for a quality adhesiolysis..as that is the root of the charges these Dr's have.
I can also assure you, that I am firmiliar with the party of whom you speak in regards to " needing " another adhesiolysis with the surgeons in Scranton...you elude to that second surgery as if there was an error made on the surgeons part, when in fact, that is not the case at all. I am willing to discuss this with you, without the use of names, of course, and maybe I can relieve some of your fears or misconceptions regarding that statement.
And my dear..nothing is hopeless, I am a true testament to that!!
Anyway....here I am scooping up my own manure pile in my own barrel...and I hope that even in the midst of a misunderstanding, many things have been learned in this.
Ok :) ....and in the words of Forrest Gump..."and that's all I have to say about that!" :-)
In friendship Beverly
