So tonight I got a phone call for a survey from the CDC. What are the odds??? Maybe I should play Lotto this week. And yes, I'd just love to answer some questions for the CDC! I asked if this had anything to do with thimerosal, which it apparently did. But I didn't get the survey on immunizations, dang. I got one on medical issues for my child with health problems. At the end I decided to rant a bit about school districts, the broken educational system for children with certain types of disabilities, and the shonda that is health insurance coverage for children with developmental delays. And yes, I did use the word shonda, to the bemusement of the woman at the other end (who, I gather, was in Cali, b/c she said, "Have a good afternoon" when she got off, and it was about 7:30 EST. I was encouraged to call the 800 number, b/c information from this (dumbass) survey is supposedly to be used to help make funding decisions. Course, it was like being in court: I couldn't give the real information, b/c I wasn't asked it.
