GI DOCTOR VISIT

After today's doctor visit I was livid! I was so angry I asked for our records. I wanted to scream and yell and throw myself on the floor. (I have been spending way too much time alone with small children...) But maybe a grown adult acting a fool will draw some attention to my daughters health.

This doctor had no idea we were in the hospital. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? When they said they spoke to you and you said you did not need to come visit us. Then noticed my frustration and tried to recover by stating, "Well we do not visit the ER..." I was PISSED, "Well we were there for 4 days you could have walked up 3 floors and seen us any day last week." I was so mad, he did nothing at our visit. Did examine her, just sat on his lap top typing. HE suggested that we reorder some tests. REORDER? Yep, reorder some tests. Like you didn't like first results so lets try again. THERE ARE NO DO OVERS WHEN YOU ARE STABBING MY CHILD WITH NEEDLES!

I was so mad! Apparently, SOMEONE, I am holding him responsible did not test for the gluten allergy last time they drew blood. So they want to try again. Who wrote the report? WHY AM I GOING BACK TO THE SAME LAB THEN? They didn't test for the correct items in her stool sample either. Whose fault is that? Certainly not Madison's yet they continue to punish her. I mentioned she now has consistent gas, and he actually looked up from his lap top and walked over to her. Who knew that was an alarming side effect to whatever is going on. He said her CO2 levels are extremely LOW. What does that mean??? He wants to check her dehydration levels as well. That would have been nice prior to our week long stay at the hospital.

He said he wanted her to drink more pedi-sure. I was so mad. She cannot LIVE off of liquids. I am sorry but NO. If I give her anymore of that sugar CRAP she will not eat. As if I am starving my child. I need her to eat food not live off a liquid diet. Plus she doesn't like it. Who would has anyone ever smelled that stuff it's disgusting! They look at me like I am not feeding her, or correctly. I am feeding her she just has something wrong and no one understands that.

I was so mad as we were about to leave he suggested we see him again in 4 weeks. I said so I will see the heart Dr two more times, the pediatrician 3 more times and what am I suppose to tell them what that you are on vacation? He said okay 2-3 weeks. UNBELIEVABLE!

So we check out and the girl says the next available apt is JUNE 30th... over a month away. I was so mad I said you know what can I just get a copy of our records! She looked at me like what... and then MAGICALLY there was a June 11th apt. I asked for the week prior and she said, "Well he will be on vacation." NO KIDDING!?!

I still want the records because we are getting a NEW doctor. I NEVER want to see this doctor ever again. HE had the nerve to tell me it doesn't really matter what the results are of this test that we keep retesting for and he will have to go in with a camera to confirm if the blood test is correct or incorrect. WHY torture this LITTLE girl then... The heart doctor suggested he would do an ultra sound of her intestines so to see rather than doing such an invasive procedure and to go in blind. This doctor confirmed all suspicions I have about Doctors! It is a guessing game and it is a race to see who is better at putting all the pieces together... and we are their test subjects!
