[Pedfac] NCH Professional Courtesy

[Casamassimo, Paul]

You know, my family put the kibosh on that when I suggested I wanted an Alexa built in with my voice! Hmmmm... maybe the new residents' room? :)

And you know, as a teenager, I worked at a camp near Port Jervis, NY, which is a stone's throw from Matamoras, PA, on the banks of the mighty Delaware river!

Yes, Kim, I am just about twice your age but with none of the symptoms and I think my need will be just a trip to the morgue when the time comes.

For years we have always helped out colleagues with some immediate dental problems and it has never been a lot or abused. Like you, they take the advice, appreciate the care so they can work, and see their dentist. I hope we can continue that professional courtesy.

As you all know I turned 35 last year, had a baby, and have been falling apart ever since.

My wrist started hurting in January and was talking about it in front of an anesthesiologist in the ASC. He promptly escorted me to the OR suite next door where a hand surgeon was finishing a case. The hand surgeon did an exam, gave me a diagnosis, and told me to wear a splint while waiting for my already-scheduled appointment with a "grown up" hand surgeon. Took 2 minutes.

This week I have been feeling dizzy (flu? vertigo?) and this morning, walked over to ENT at 8:00, and promptly one of the ENT attendings was doing an exam and a maneuver on me and gave me a signed referral for a "grown up" ENT appointment at OSU, though he thinks the dizziness could also be from neck muscle tension... Took 5 minutes.

I am so grateful to be in the midst of a lot of wonderful, smart people here at NCH and I can only hope that we in Dentistry are as hospitable as others have been to me.

And don't worry, Dr. McTigue -- this weekend the in-laws are in town, so, rest, yoga, and massage are all on the schedule!

Dr Kim
