UGH- Doctors - A Little Venting

[Guest guest]

I was just going through 's medical records to send to Dr. H

when I came across the pediatric GI's report which I reread again and

this time I guess paying closer attention. It's a report to the ped

about his evaluation and what his plan was but interestingly he states

" I do question whether she has some syndromic features. " He then goes

on to state that they will perform a a 72 hour fecal fat study and

looking into her caloric intake. He then says that " should both of

these be reasonable, then we would have to think that is may be a

genetic syndrome and genetic consultation may be in order. I

certainly would like to be sure this is not syndromic before embarking

on any invasive GI evaluation. " Well her test came back normal and

guess what no one ever mentioned to me about taking her to a

geneticist. Ashely was 17 months old when she saw the GI and she is

now 4 3/4. She was 3 3/4 when her cardiologist took action and her

seen by a geneticist.

UGH-Doctors!!!! I'm sure some things may be a little different had her

pediatrician read the report and took action on it or at least

informed me what it said and I could have pushed the issue!

As always, thanks for listening
