How Not to Piss Off Your Pediatrician

 

That’s the thing I love about the doctor we use. He’s at a 24 hour pediatric clinic. So even though we don’t get to see him for that late night jaunt, we do get to see somebody on his team, who’s also a pediatrician and has access to all his records. Plus, record of that is there for his pediatrician to view if needed.

If I had have had access like that my little boy would still be alive, there was no pediatrician for the hospital to call in and they wouldn’t call in a xray technician until the morning and on the way to xray he died of a intestional obstruction, he was 4 1/2 years ols. My life was destroyed on that day. Be very grateful that you have decent health care, it means the world - literally.They say Canada has the best medical system? Not where I live. I would have paid the money for the tech myself had i known at the time. Doctors chose to become doctors and inturn it is their reaponsibility to be available for an emergency - ESPECIALLY when a child is involved if they wanted a 9-5 job they should have become a car salesman or a teacher for example. I would never be afraid to call my doctor at home now, I learned a very very hard lesson, one that cost me everything. I hope anyone reading this will thing twice about hesitating.
