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.

Where in the World is Dr. Casey Firlit?

Try as I may, I can't find my son's surgeon. Where are you Dr. Firlit? There are no answers to be found. Anyone have an idea where he is? I need to speak with him. He is the man that gave my son a new life. He gave me and my family a new life.

I call Cardinal Glennon and they say he isn't a "provider" at the hospital anymore. I call SLU and they will not let me talk to anyone other than a discourteous, curt secretary sighing on the other end of the phone.

Will anyone ever come forward and tell me where my son can see his surgeon. This is not about SLU and their trivial politics, this IS about my son.

Please reconsider your decision to let Dr. Casey Firlit go. Our lives depend on it.
