Please vote for show on Preventing Brachial Plexus injuries in newborns.

The doctors have a place to suggest programs. I put up a suggestion that they do a show on Shoulder Dystocia and preventing brachial plexus injury.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

When you registered did you use the link in the email they sent you? I had a similar problem when I first tried to post my suggestion. I checked my email and used that link to activate my account.

I don't think it works that way.. it goes by points and some topics have thousands of points!
I think it's a way for them to get ideas as well for what the public wants to see.

Oh, I understood that the Dr's would do a show on the sites with the greatest number of votes. Sorry. My mistake

I figure they may, but so many topics are posted and many have TONS of votes... i would think they also look through the rest of the topics suggested as well.

After my daughter had the Modquad surgery in August, I actually got on their site and entered info about BPI! I totally agree they need to do a show about it!!!!!
