Humm..a bit confused - and a bit upset....
I can honestly say- I was taken back and caught off guard. I had already spoke with the surgeon at MedVet- and asked for additonal information about Max's surgery- anything out of the norm that we weren't told about etc... And at that time we talked about the PT - and the advice we were given. We really would have prefered to handle the communication to the MedVet staff on our own... |

| Wow, I can understand why you would be upset. That does sound like an odd thing to do!! AnNy chance the PT "stumbled"on it themself? |
| That's awkward but I guess that is a risk of discussing these things in a public forum. I guess I believe that the pros outweigh the cons. At least we did not use her name (I don't even know her name).
I am curious what the PT said about her diagnosis and treatment of Max. I am sure she was not thrilled to see what I wrote. . . |

That's what I was thinking- sometimes people google themselves, so maybe they found it that way? If someone actually did forward it to them, that is a real bummer. Although this is a public forum I think we should respect each other and our privacy. |
| Wow... why would anyone do that?!
I'd be pissed too... |

Although it disturbs me to think that someone from this forum MAY have done as she said..Maybe something good may come of this for her.. maybe she won't be so quick to diagnose the next time...she could of done her research like you did and found an alternative for Max instead of a cart. Please don't let that deter you from coming for help and advice. .everyone is concerned for Max. |
Very strange!! 
Why would anyone do that??? How rude!!  |
| I certainly hope it was no one from here, but on the other hand, maybe she needed to hear it.
So what did she say - how did she justify herself? |
| There's always the chance she found it herself by googling and no one from here forwarded to her. It's just what some people say so they don't look like the weird one.
If someone from HERE did it, you're just as messed up as some of our 'guests' who post in the food for thought section. |

Jo is probably right, because how would anyone have this person's e-mail address to send it to when I don't believe the name of the PT person was ever discussed. |
| Soooo, what about your conversation?
Google doesn't come up with any results for MedVet on oes.org -- yet. |
| I dont remember ever hearing who did the surgery or the PT person's name or clinic. Or I didn't pay attention if it was there. But that was irresponsible if someone did "tattle."
Personally, I think you deserve the opportunity to surprise that person with a healthy Max. I've always wanted to do something like that. I'm not sure that the credibility of that person is too high nor would I feel the need to converse with him/her/it. You have the right to choose Max's caregivers. You have the right to be unhappy with a caregiver and not use them again. |

| I just read through all posts of Abuckie and can only find one reference that might be identifiable as to who was helping in Max's care. One mention of MedVet, and no mention as to the Physical Therapist's or Vet's name. In any event, nobody here could have known where to send the information, and I doubt that anybody searching for Max's case could have found it yet.
Let's not trash our fellow members here; I think there is more to this than meets the eye. Any chance you mentioned a forum or support group or anything to the PT or the vet? |

Ron -- it is actually possible that an Ohio member happens to know the people at MedVet independent of this forum. It could even have been a nonmember who happened to have stumbled upon the forum. I don't think Lori was trashing anyone. I think she was expressing her very reasonable view that if the message was forwarded by someone here, she wished it hadn't been done. |
| Fair enough. |
| Please know that I am not bashing the forum or the group... in the short time I have been here, I have felt most welcome and by the responses, know that you are a group that truly cares. I certainly don't want to get off on a bad foot with everyone.
I was taken back. She said the email was forwarded to her- and she read it word by word to me... so she absolutly had it in hand. I know that in this world of technology - anything is possible- and there are MANY ways that she could have gotten it. I am not upset that she saw it- it was the truth. She was more positive with me last night-- and if we had gotten that after his PT- I wouldn't have been so frantic to search out alternatives. We were very hopeful and excited when we first took him there. I was curious- and of course still am how she received it- whether googled or forwarded. I agree that it might be best that she saw it... I know that she called me at home- well after hours- so it was on her mind. We have decided to continue with the deep muscle laser for now... and home therapy. It seems to be helping a great deal. Again, my intent was not to bash- but - as I am new to your group- you are new to me. The reason I was concerned is because I have been so thankful for the well wishes- and elated that we found this site... And I want to continue to be member. Anyone in the same situation would have raised the same questions... |
| I just went through and read every post that you wrote. If anything, all you did was express how you felt when she told you those things. I don't care if she's the best therapist in the world, that's the WORST bedside manner ever to say anything like that to someone. Even if that were the case, knowing how much you care about Max, there are better ways to express "bad news" if there is some that needs to be conveyed.
If I were her, I'd look at this as an opportunity to improve my people skills and how to deal better with people who are obviously traumatized. Her behavior made you go somewhere else and, like it or not, PT is a business. It doesn't sound like you'll be recommending her to anyone so who knows how much more business that she may have lost. If whoever "forwarded" the first post, could you be so kind as to forward mine as well? Thanks in advance. |
| I had sent your message to Carrie when I asked her for help on your behalf. And I know Carrie emailed her liaison in Ohio. Perhaps the Ohio contact forwarded it to your PT. . . . |
| Could be... I should have just come out and ask her who sent it...
I wonder if Max has any idea that he is causing so much skuttle... From the looks of him laying here on my feet... I think he is unaware  |

I am curious about this. What did she say? |
| She back stroked a bit... said that when she got off the phone with me she knew I was upset..
Said that she had nothing to really compare him to - since it was the first time she had seen him. And that he was actually one of the better dogs on the treadmill that day!!  
He was timid in the water when we spoke before- so- there-in lies the confusion.  Also said that she never mentioned an excercise ball- and she ABSOLUTLY did- and that was when I asked for additonal excercises to do at home. All in all- I guess she wanted to make it right- and make us feel like he had a fighting chance- but - you never get a second chance to make a first impression. We need to know that whoever is treating Max is fighting for him as hard as he is fighting himself. Still not feeling the love.... |
