Soccer and swimming, as well as gymnastics, are frequently "club" sports and the clubs organization may not require a prepartication medical evaluation.

When asking a mom about family history of cancer, she told me that the child's grandmother had to get a kaleidoscope (AKA colposcopy). With sports physicals here - "it ain't over til it's over". Yes, volleyball and football and marching band have all started their "conditioning", so they are done - but now we are still doing the CYO physicals because they have not really gotten going yet. Then there will be those who did not do the fall sports, but want to do basketball. <G> Can anyone tell me why I never seem to do sports physicals for soccer - and rarely for swimming? My daughter needed one for cheerleading - and, at the risk of offending the cheerleading sport - I feel that soccer may be a bit more strenuous. Diane, CNP in Ohio ----------------------------- Both in the same day- a mom called and said she needed a copy of her child's "EUTHANASIA" (AKA immunization)record for school. A mom told me that she had she had switched her child to a low iron Lactofree formula because she was worried about constipation. I said that as far as I knew there was no such animal and she replied "Sure there is- it says "iron FORFEITED" (AKA fortified) on every can." Have a great weekend.... School starts here next week and I think we trully made it through all the sports physicals...
