- 17. Web Sites for Real People: Content: Q&A My 5-month-old daughter's soft spot has already closed. This was brought to the attention of her pediatrician; he had a cat-scan done and said that there is nothing to worry about. Everything that I have read states that the soft spot should be re-opened. Do we need a second opinion?
- 18. Web Sites for Real People: Content: Q&A I have a patient who needs to have dental treatments after head and neck cancer. The patient has Medicare only, and they will not pay for this specific treatment. Do you have any funding for patients like this? Do you know who else may have a foundation dedicated to these patients?
