I hate arrogant Drs. that treat mothers like we're morons........ Go with your gut. I have never been wrong about people - especially ones in white coats...... Rosemary in NY with 3 children (13, 11 and 7) with CF. I have a dog named TOBI and have coined the phrase " BREATHE DAMMIT " my new favorite quote is Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 I say go with your gut too (but don't overlook that Denmark has a longer CF lifespan, and their patients get IV antibiotics four times a year whether they need it or not). About idiot doctors... A friend of mine who lives in another country wrote to me today upset. She'd just come from a clinic visit with her little one (3 1/2 years old). The doctor was pleased with her child's spirometry and oximeter readings, and he proceeded to " educate " her about these readings as if she had the IQ of a greenbean. She's very intelligent and has been eating, sleeping, breathing, studying CF for 3 1/2 years so like most of you out there, she knows more than the doctor. But the doctor (are you ready for this?) also told her that because she was a working mother, she over-compensated about his CF by obsessing about it, and that she relied too heavily on information from the internet -- AND she was wrong to feed him such healthy foods. YES! This moron actually told the mother she needed to feed him junk food often (and he even called it junk food!). He specifically told her to feed him hamburgers and fries from Mcs. Are y'all ready to form a posse and go lynch some of these bird-brain morons that we're supposed to trust?
