One perk of going to clinic when I was younger was the part of ditching school. But for some oddball reason, I despised going to clinic when I was younger. After all of my appointments, we always ate at Mickey D's, like most people, but not as a treat, more out of convienience. But looking back I wish I went to a more knowledgeable, well-staffed CF clinic. All of my appointments I remember waiting in the exam room for hours. Very boring indeed, especially for a young child. I remember traffic was almost always horrendous, as we went to CHOP, in Philadelphia, where IMO their surgeons are a bunch of criminals. I wish I could end this by saying "good times, good times", but I can't. As a good memory, I distinctly rememeber my doctor, Dr. Scalin, and he had an Incredible Hulk figure that I played with for my entire appointment. That is the only good memory of my clinic appointments.

Did your parents do anything special after CF Checkups?

My clinic was 3 hours from home, so I always got to miss school and the whole family went. We would always go somewhere special to eat too. I loved clinic days when I got old enough to not be scared of the "throat culture". <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I am from the DC area so we would stop at Little Tavern ,kinda like White Castle But So much
Better !! Sometimes we would stop at Mc'Donalds<< back then you could get fries and a burger
for 35 cents... But Little Tavern is the best. I have been going there since 1961 < that I can remember.
But I do remember being very tired after all the tests ,the PFTs back then were tough.
Nothing like today all computer driven. They were mechanical.
