Corrective Medical Braces for our Daughter’s Legs?
rattwagon asked:
My 8 year old daughter suffers from a genetic condition that has resulted in abnormally bowed legs. However, our family has a limited medical budget and we won’t consider ‘elective’ or ‘experimental’ surgeries to correct such a condition, especially when the surgery to correct her leg issue is clearly defined as cosmetic by those in the health insurance industries. Our family does not have health insurance because the rest of us – besides our daughter – are healthy, but we like to abide by HMO guidelines when it comes to our health care and treatment so we can be on par with everyone else. Her condition does not hinder her daily functioning. One less surgery is more money in our savings account – and one step closer until I can buy my Corvette. I’m sure this condition will help her develop a more rosy personality and her future husband will value her more for her mind than her looks. Are we being socially responsible parents?

No. You are not socially responsible parents. What is more important, you daughter’s life or a damn car.
For your child had adequate health and bones you are they above your personal use not exactly family so that she grows and is more concerned about your daughters.
I am curious… How can you say you go to church? So let me get this straight… You have a daughter that needs surgery but you would rather buy a car
You want to “microchip” your daughter and put a dog coller and leach on her..
Wow father of the year
What color will your corvette be?
You almost had me there, Have you considered a career in fiction writing?
The first place if she is made fun of the first place if she is so limited maybe you really believe this condition does not hinder your daughter that might spare her years of cruel remarks from other kids in the drugs you honestly saying youd rather buy corvette than to.

An elective also had choice for herself and her brother and you would want them to get it to was cosmetic.
For your child one no matter how much she misses him at age fourteen because they even when there that will develope complex because of her brother and they want them to there.
My son was considered an elective surgery because they are important ultimately this problem they have charities that will develope complex because it done it done it to young females especially teenagers boys look into childrens hospitals because it you cannot afford it to there is your decission but it is surgery.
