Dr. Phil show idea

[dmom]

Hi, everybody:

(I am the mom of a 3-year-old son, LOBPI. I had posted the following message on the OBPI boards, and someone suggested posting it here!)

I just happened to tune across Dr. Phil yesterday. I heard him mention he is trying to do shows on "epidemics that no one talks about." So I looked on his site and he is seeking folks who have had "medical mishaps."

I know we have all talked about Oprah before, but here is another opportunity to get the word about BPI out there. Considering his large female audience, I think BPI would be a great topic. Any takers? Here's the link:

Hi Guys,

I did it last night, gave them my personal history, and refered them to the site.

We'll see what happens.

It wouldn't hurt for more of us to do it.

hi everyone!

i sent a link to the site too and told them to take a look at the "roll call" thread! i also gave my personal story.

ellen - HA! you've already been on t.v. so you're the pro here *grin* of course, i should have said have JOHN on, so it's his decision, then he could drag you on *grin*

besides, think of the great party we could have if we all got together!

hugs,

I think this is a really great idea. We get Dr Phil on telly down here and I know there are a lot of people that watch it. It would a great way to get these injuries made aware to the public. Please keep us informed on what happens regarding this, because if you guys get to go on TV I really want to be watching that !!! I didn't post to Dr Phil because of the obvious....Good luck guys regards Narelle

Did anyone on here suffer a TBPI from a medical mishap? If so, could you post here or email me privately...would love to know as I have been asked several times by people who have a TBPI from bad positioning on an or table during long surgery for unrelated medical problems.

I believe that is what the Dr Phil people are asking for...medical mishap stories.
