Oh man, I'm sorry buddy.
Does retirement impede them to try and help here? I don't anything about doctors or retirement (other than I'll never see it) so was just thinking out loud. Poor kid.
They're both out of state and not practicing anymore. At this point they'll be no help in breaking through the insurance/provider/referral system.
Not sure if you got through to her pediatrician or had any luck of you did, but we definitely have had some success in the past with appointments with specialists when our pediatrician has called them and told them it was important my daughter be seen soon.
Already went to the sports medicine specialist. Her symptoms have gotten worse since then, and he doesn't have any availability until next week. I'll I'm trying to do is get her primary physician to call the neurologist and tell them to get her in sooner. I just keep getting the "she'll call you back" answer after 30 minutes on hold. It's been 3 days, 6 calls to the primary, 2 calls to the neurologist, two calls to the sports medicine guy and 5 hours on hold, with nothing accomplished.
Yeah, tomorrow I'm taking my laptop and setting up shop in the doctor's lobby. I can work from anywhere, so I'll just make her office my office tomorrow.
WTF. I can't remember who made the first diagnosis. One option is if she has a really bad one, take her to the ER, and if they can't figure it out maybe they will admit her overnight and someone would see her?
this i don't know what your hospital situation is up there, but i know if i went the ER at CHOC, it would take forever, but i would eventually get to a specialist. kid centric hospitals, take things much more seriously with kids, than with you and i
She started at an urgent care, then 3 visits to primary, then sports medicine doc, then back to primary when her symptoms got worse. Referral to neurology that went nowhere from that because they need her doctor to tell them it's urgent. Can't get primary or sports medicine guy to call back since to intervene with the neurologist.
Agreed with the children's hospital recommendation if there is one anywhere near you. Sometimes I take it for granted that I have two of the best children's hospitals in the country within 30 minutes of me.
It’s the children’s hospital that has an appointment in March and will only see her earlier if her primary will call them direct. Thus the camping in her office tomorrow.
ymmv but when my (then) 3 year old fell and smacked the #### out of her head, i went to the ER where they basically made us lowest priority for about 45 minutes. i just got ####### livid and started snapping off on the poor receptionist, which brought out security & nurses, who eventually escorted us to a room where i snapped until a nurse higher up the food chain came in and took care of us.
It s the worst feeling in the world. My kid broke her arm 2 months ago. Badly. Both bones in her forearm. Her forearm looked like this. \_/. The wait for the triage nurse seemed like an eternity. I had to get on them, 3 times, to hurry the F up. It still took 3 hours to get my kid to the dr and get her some painkillers. Unreal.mr. furley said:

Good answer, Pollock was 2000. Marcia Gay Harden (had to look all this up). I did not know she won an Oscar.
My daughter had a bad concussion starting her freshman year of high school playing soccer (took a ball to the temple). She had double vision and could not balance for about a week. We went to urgent care to start, ER, referral, neurologist, and a children's neurologist. All said the same thing......it takes time for the symptoms to subside. My daughter ended up essentially being home schooled for her first semester of high school. We went to the IEP program to get authorization and they sent a teacher to our house to do whatever work she could accomplish. The home bound teacher gave grades etc.
I should be so lucky. The Drunkgirls I bought shots for aren't going to bang me anyway.
