am not going to but I am VERY mad with my daughters 1st doctor. Its a very long story but if you want to read it this is what happen...
My daughter (who is 5months today) was really sick almost since birth! At 1st the doctor told me nothing was wrong. I had gone to the doctors pretty much every week for a month before they told me she had acid reflex and so we switched her from regular enfamil to enfamil ar and zantac and she was still sick all the time throwing up and throwing up and not gaining any weight and was not sleeping much crying in pain 24/7. Her doc kept saying she was fine. So we went back often and he kept telling me it was her acid reflex and would up her dose and sometimes she would make it a day with out crying but it was still bad. When we went back to her 4month apt i told him she is still always in pain he said we will up the dose of the meds I asked should i try to change the formula and he said no way because it will make it worse. Being a 1st time mother i listened even though i though he was wrong. A few days later we called she had been crying for 3 days non stop not eating and thowing up they said give it more time for the meds to kick im (this was a friday so we had to wait til monday to see them again) this means it was almost a full week of her throwing up more then she was eating she would scream in pain most the day sleep maybe 3 twenty minute naps a day and again he said nothing was wrong we just need to up the dose, at this point i was mad and knew something was very wrong,so we switched to a new doctor. She thinks she has a milk allergy so she switched her to Alimentum similac and prilosec and that was the problem she was allergic to the formula. It got to the point she has blood in her stool because she was on the wrong stuff and it hurt her belly. I am told she can not start food right away and now has to be on a certin formula. There was many times i asked to switch her formula and every time he shot it down. Also a time I went to him asking if she had an ear infection he said no a week later i went back saw a differnt doctor and all of a sudden she had an ear infection. I als at the 4 month apt asked if she had teeth coming in he said no way and the next day they came through. I think this doctor should not have his job. I am a 1st time mother and what if i had stayed with him? How much worse then p**p in her stool would it have gotten? She was in pain for almost the whole 1st 5 months. Does any one know if i can sue? And how much i can sue for? I want him fired or at least for people to know he is not a good doctor.
