Supporters of Dr. Casey Firlit, Ph.D, M.D.

Disabled children are once again slapped in the face. Dirty politics and inflated egos at St. Louis University Medical School extinguish the chance for a more productive life for hundreds of Spina Bifida, Myelomengiocele and Neurogenic bladder and bowel patients. A well known and respected Pediatric Urologist has been suspended from his position along with his surgical privileges. Who will speak for these children now that Dr. Firlit is gone? Will you? Let us know what you think! Please support Dr. Casey Firlit by using the list at the side of this page to contact those who can reinstate our doctor and our friend.

Dr. Firlit, first of all let me thank you once again. My daughter, Lauren who is 15, had the ACE/MONTI procedure done years ago when you were still in Chicago. We come to visit you in St. Louis at Cardinal Glennon as Lauren is still your patient. Because of you, Lauren can now go swimming. She can self-cath, no longer needs to wear diapers and can now even have sleepovers! You have changed her life and all our lives forever. We are forever indebted to you.

Signed,
Judy, Lauren's Mom

This is Lauren writing you now. Thank you Doc Firlit and all the times you spent with me giving me the confidence I needed to be myself. I will never forget the first time I got to wear underwear. I was so excited. No more diapers for me! I went out and bought the cutest Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast underwear!!!!! I hope you are still there to help other kids in the same situation as me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I love you! XOXOXO Lauren
