This young doc at my polyclinic detected a little prob wif my wee one and promptly decided that we needed a pedeatric surgeon! Wow we thought! So serious ah? Lucky my uncle was a pd and we went to him for advice. He laughed and said that the doc must be really young and inexperienced!Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13103055991363679339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4965085177803936157.post-16456058769308554912008-06-13T15:49:00.000+08:002008-06-13T15:49:00.000+08:00Ugh!

She had a 106 temperature and the left side of her face looked she was hiding a tangerine in it. The doctor looked in her eyes and ears and then proceeded to say "could be salivary glands, could be clogged ducts, could be tonsillitus, could be..." and I said "could be a reindeer lodged in her throat.. but what IS it?"<BR/><BR/>"I don't know" was the response. And he sent me on my way. So for the next 7 days I fought her 106 temps with chamomile and lavender baths and on the 8th day, she woke and the swelling was gone. <BR/><BR/>Still don't know what it was!Invisible Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09858347279524790704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4965085177803936157.post-71137548636203688002008-06-12T12:36:00.000+08:002008-06-12T12:36:00.000+08:00Our sentiments exactly, Mumsgather, only it's kind...Our sentiments exactly, Mumsgather, only it's kinda hard to choose one's doctors at a polyclinic. We may have to venture farther afield... Anonymous, isn't it just a little disconcerting to encounter a doc who's apparently only as good as his (easy-peasy, first-month-only) chart? And who transfers blame to his patients accordingly? But no conspiracies were detected, never fear :)Cloudstershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08311316986024725617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4965085177803936157.post-70350206157235726122008-06-12T09:56:00.000+08:002008-06-12T09:56:00.000+08:00All's well that ends well.

The doctor did give you the correct info about bilirubin and referring to charts and figures is the done thing anywhere in the world.<BR/><BR/>Don't look for conspiracies and controversies where none exist except perhaps in your mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4965085177803936157.post-27288768877490274782008-06-12T09:26:00.000+08:002008-06-12T09:26:00.000+08:00Thats terrible!
