The contact for the media relations department has kibashed (sp?) my request to have a photographer present during my appointments and most likely killed having him in the operating room and subsequently everywhere else.
Like I said yesterday, I don't take "no" lightly. I fired off several emails to people that have done this, doing this or know someone in high places. Hopefully, something will transpire.
Am I wrong in trying to make something more than what it is? As much as I hate to do it, I look at the numbers as something to ground me and motivate me.

Hey you!
Have you considered getting in touch with "The Discovery Channel" or any other news type show?
I haven't. Becky (her blog is in my links) has a contact with a Chicago based documentary filmmaker that was looking for a subject. I was suppose to have heard back by now but haven't. I haven't looked to the big guys yet but might approach that next week.
