Recommended Site
I visited the following sites and agree with this recommendation by MitC member, Gigi...
"I also wanted to tell you about this great website that I think could be a wonderful resource for all us parents out there. I've had the wonderful opportunity to regularly blog for Dr. Randy Cale, PhD, a licensed psychologist who has some really great advice. You might want to check out his website at www.terrificparenting.com and also his blog at www.terrificparenting.net. As I mentioned, the website is a great resource for advice, tips and inspiration in raising your family and the blog is a great place to voice concerns, questions, etc. His newsletters are fabulous and always filled with inspirational stories and advice."

Parents expecting a baby are referred to Room to Grow by prenatal programs assisting low-income families throughout New York City. Upon their referral, parents visit our warm and inviting space every three months from just before the birth of their baby until their child turns three.

Sickday Medical House Calls
Sickday - www.sickdayhousecalls.com - is a just-launched medical house call service for New York City residents and visitors. I think that it's a great resource for moms!
Q&A With Naomi Friedman, Founder of Sickday Medical House Calls
Q: What services do you provide?
A: Sickday’s mission is to bring the doctor’s office to your doorstep and get patients feeling better fast. We are open seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. to provide a full range of service such as:
- Comprehensive medical histories
- Diagnostic exams
- Medications prescribed
- Prescriptions renewed
- Ordering and interpreting lab tests and x-rays
- Affiliated with major hospitals
- Referrals to traditional and alternative sub-specialties
- Phone follow-ups after every visit
Q: How much does a visit cost and what are my payment options?
A: A visit cost $250. Payment options include: cash and check
Q: How does Sickday benefit patients?
A: Sickday provides prompt care in the comfort and convenience of your home, office or hotel room. That means access to quick, affordable care seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sickday practitioners also spend more time with patients, assessing environmental factors and gathering information that is relevant in making a diagnosis and speedy recovery.
Q: How is treating patients different in their environment vs. an office?
A: I’ve found my patients are more comfortable and communicate more information when they are in their own environment. I can also assess lifestyle factors that might affect my diagnosis and often I get additional input from family members or caregivers that would not be present during an office visit.
I’ve also seen plenty of patients that were just too sick to get to the doctor’s office and they are so grateful to have the option to stay home or in their hotel room and still get professional care.
Q: What’s the most unusual case you’ve ever treated?
A: I got a call on New Year’s morning from a club DJ who had been wearing earplugs for a New Year’s Eve party the night before and had difficulty removing one of them. It was definitely lodged in his ear but not so deep that I wasn’t able to remove it. It was a delicate situation but resolved fairly quickly. He was thrilled and relieved. I laughed to myself as I left his home and wondered what else I might encounter in the future.
