Look, IDK why your kid needs a specialist, IDK what the problem is. But I have a chronic disease and had 5 surgeries in 7 years until I found a specialist 5 hours away and I've been in remission for 2 years now because I quit fucking around with doctor's who don't know shit.

If Cox is recommending Shriner's Hospital for Children, the Shrine center here does transport. (I think? I've seen their transport vans in the parking lot and know the Shriners around the country transport sick kids/families to appointments).
