OK, I want to say, I had a crap week last week. Really crappy. Probably had 3 of the top 5 frustrating days ever with H, since we got home...and husband wasn't far behind. So I was crabby by friday. Period. But still, I'm thinking this is an obscene story.
The ped that she started with was the new doc in an office recommended to me. She was ok, but never laid out a plan for me to know what was coming next etc, so I started to get fed up. So I was about at my wits end, and the last time she was there (May, I believe), she said something about her urinalysis, and I said, ummmm....no, we never had one. She responded that "oh really, we always do those." Hello, you are the doc. So I quit the practice and moved to a new ped. Oh, and when I quit, it took her 5 weeks to contact me and ask me why.
So flash forward to today. I took H in to check her ear infecting on Friday. Start talking with ped#2 about the melamine that I had spoken with her about last time. Tell her I talked to FIL, who works at big fancy name-recognized clinic, who spoke with renal specialist, and he recommended: urinalysis, BUN, and crenatin (I think that's how you spell it.). So, she says, yes, I agree from the docs I've talked to..."hey, what were her original ones?!" So I say no urinalysis had been run. Then she looks at the copies of the blood work that was done. The blood work that drained my kid over multiple days. The blood work where I said I wanted everything tested. The ones where I was told that all organ function was good. I remember being told the liver was functioning well.
Ped#2 says:
"There were never liver or kidney function tests run back in March."
Yes, this fucking sad excuse for a doctor is either so inept and stupid, or a baldfaced bitch liar, and didn't do the fucking tests. So we have to do the tests now. We now with P's newer and better job have a crazy-high deductible insurance plan, so this comes all out of pocket, and dear Gawd, what if something is wrong? For 8 months I thought we had the tests that told us that H was ok.
Bitch.
They are part of a huge group of docs that keep taking over practices, oh, and yes, they still don't have an office manager that I can speak to, so I called the corporate offices (isn't that a scary term in relation to docs?), and left a message for some lady in charge of Quality Management (another scary term in relation to this.)...
So next week, poor, teething, sleep deprived H will have more stabbing and blood letting, and if I don't get answers from inept ped#1 ASAP...well, I won't stop bothering them until I get an answer. If there is something wrong, I will be in contact with a very good lawyer, and every medical board I can get to that has certified this woman.
