Doctors tend to donate services on things like this for free...and it's also great publicity for them to do so. I think bashing the doctors is pointless...bashing the insurance companies and the general healthcare situation in this country might be more accurate, but equally pointless.

Bump, and good luck to her.

Dave.
 
What is sad about this story is that her parents let it get this bad before seeking a diagnosis...
 
Just Donated.

It's great there are so many donations. :beer: Also, thanks to those bumping the thread. I haven't been lurcking much lately and I missed the thread when it was around earlier.

I hope the best for her.
 
i saw this in a sig and just added it...all of you should add this thread to your sigs too to get more AT support....bump
 
this pisses me off to the core... i don't see how the hospital or her doctor wouldn't pay for it, much less get a government grant. they could take this girl to a learning hospital and have the surgery in a medical journal and learn more about this form of dysplasia. i donated and i pray everyone else in here does, too.
 
i donated more than $10... it might hurt me in the short run, but it won't kill me, unlike this horrible dysplasia.

She doesn't really have a doctor, she came here from another country for treatment.
The hospitals are nothing but companies that need money to survive. The surgeons wanted to donate the surgery, but normally a hospital won't let them do the surgery until X amount of money for expenses is raised. As soon as that X was hit, though, they did do the surgery. She still needs a lot of physical therapy and reconstructive/plastic surgery (skin grafts, etc.) so she still needs our support.
 
put me down for 20.

Man, that story hit me really funny, and I havent been even remotely emotional like that in years...

Comon people, im a broke jobless college student, If i can donate, so can you.

Bump.
 
in for $10 and bump

You'll need to use IE - for some reason, Firefox wouldn't work to fill in the 'amount' field
 
Before/after pic is remarkable....
