Support for primary care physicians?

[Guest guest]

We see a family physician now, and I want him to measure Clara's

head. The specialists either wouldn't see her, because she isn't a

candidate for surgery, or wanted a CT scan first, which I refused.

Our former pediatrician claims to have lost all record of what she

did to justify the prescription for insurance purposes, and

complained that it was difficult to find out in the first place.

Having seen him today, I'm somewhat reassured that he at least

intends to do the work. He said he's going to contact helmet

manufacturers, while I'm calling our former orthotist and the

insurance company. Surely, something so simple shouldn't require

continuing medical education. Can anyone point us to a clinical guide?

(I'm having trouble accessing the Files, incidentally.)

Thanks,
