proper introduction

I'm the nick-er type.




I just love giving people nicknames. It's fun.




The only time I use any of my children's given names...is when they're being naughty! Which lately...has been quite often! But I digress...






I've nicked all of Trevy's doctors too.





Nothin' fancy. Just whatever comes natural. Dr. Neuro. Dr. Pedi. Dr. Ortho. Dr. Boston.






I like Dr. Genes...that was cute.






I'm not even sure when I started mentally nicking him Dr. Rockstar. He's pretty much an IS hero. In fact...I hardly had my steady IS legs before I first heard his name. And one thing became clear quickly. Everybody trusts him! Especially those who've been given the privledge of seeing him in person. And further...how many Dr. Neuros make themselves accessible via email? To non-patients??? Within hours...minutes even...of clicking send???? That is amazing! He's kind of a legend...






A Rockstar. Moonlighting as a pedi neuro.

You are too funny. I totally agreed with your fabulous nick for the IS guru. I too found him to be amazing at returning emails and be doesn't know me from Adam.....

I was wondering what I would call him if we do get to become his patients too. Probably something boring like his name.

But he is totally a rockstar.

I stole some of your nicknames, as you can see from my site!!! I am sure you noticed! It is a GREAT way to protect identity! AND they are funny!!!!

So glad to hear that he is an easy doctor to approach and deal with. Too often we find doctors that seem not to care enough if at all. He does look like a very personable doctor.

And as a side note, I never call my girls by their names either unless they are in trouble....and like yours, yes, that has been a lot lately! Something to do with the season change??? lol

I am looking forward to meeting him. In all of my travels around the net doing research and such I have only heard one negative report at all about him.

His credentials impress me and I am certainly hopeful he can lead us in a direction that the current Stooges managing his care here cannot.

Yep, he definitely deserves a Rockstar title!!

You'd think with all his popularity that he'd have his head floating up in the clouds...

Nope, he's the most compassionate neuro (or doctor period) we've ever met.

It's his calling and I think he knows it.

How many top-notch neuros would offer to get you coffee while you wait? Or make sure you have a ride to the airport?

He goes above and beyond his doctor responsibilities...and that email replying...eerily fast!!

Completely agreed with the above. I love Dr. C with all of my heart! You are going to really enjoy meeting with him.
Also, sorry to hear about your poor princess. My brother did that when he was young....no fun. I hope she feels better soon. I'm sure she is just as beautiful with no teeth!

I cried when I got the news

I felt like such a heel not going with Trevy for his first post hemi EEG. Yeeeeeees...Jonathan went with him. Yeeeeeees...he's just as good as me. But still! He's my baby! I was instead sitting on floor 6 east waiting for Neurology to get their boots here and help me sort out this medicine mess! Seriously it's like a bad joke...how many Neurologists does it take to write a bloody script? And fax prior authorizations? Cause Trevy's been back for hours now. And I'm STILL waiting! Anyway... Jonathan had just stepped out to meet the pizza delivery guy when Dr. EEG made his rounds. Of course I asked immediately if he had read the EEG. Of course he had. That's why he was there afterall. And I cried when he told me... that for the first time in almost two years. For the first time since this whole crazy mess began. my baby's EEG is completely normal! Side Note: It's super fun to sob in front of Japanese men and watch them squirm When I kept repeati...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
