So, my daughter was once again put into the hospital for asthma a couple of weeks ago. I begged the doctor not to put her in the hospital. She finally told me that if I left that she would have to call CPS (Child Protective Services)!!! Can you believe that? Well, what choice did I have, but to put her in the hospital? So for 3 nights we stayed there, with the nurses and respirtatory therapists doing what I can do at home. Stupid.
Well, they called a few days later to schedule a follow up. I told her that after the way the doctor spoke to me that I would not be coming back to see her. She said she'd let the doctor know. Well, today, I get a certified letter from the doc telling me 'our practice will no longer be able to continue to see your children as patients'! So, I fire her and she wastes the time to send me a certified letter? Maybe it's just a formality for her to send it, but it really ticked me off! Was it not enough that she threated CPS on me and forced me to put my child in the hospital for the 3rd time in 6 months, costing me $450 for the visit, and that my husband's car was stolen from the hospital parking lot while we were there??!!?!?!?! No, she has to send that awful letter. Ugh. Just not happy.
All of that plus a bunch of smaller, yet still stressful, things happened all within a 7 day period. AND something is off with my hormones and I'm trying to figure out what to next with that!
My daughter is fine now, btw. She's been fine ever since she got home. I quickly got her off the bronchodilators and steroids and she did great. She's totally fine as far as I can see! :-)
Anyway, I needed to vent. I'm just so disappointed that the doc did all of that. I'm just mad and hurt I guess. My stupid hormones being off doesn't help.
Thanks for listening...
