Guess who has two thumbs and is looking for a new doctor? I am!

So finally heard back from my son's doctor. Or rather from the office of the doctor. Here is what they had to say:

1) Be more specific when you make an appt...as if "I want to see Dr. _____" is not enough.

2) We use the charts from 1982, everyone does. I am not going to look up other charts. (in other words, I am not going to research the merit of the WHO charts for breastfed babies, b/c I just don't car).

3) We always forcibly retract the foreskin at every visit to check for adhesions or infections. Never mind that the AAP does not suggest this, and many research reports. Never mind that doing that can cause adhesions and infections. Never mind that as a parent you do not want me to do that.

I am so fed up with doctors not caring enough to listen to concerns and just doing what they want to do. I am tired of them not explaining things before doing them to our babies. I am tired of being treated as crazy for being interested in my son's health apart from "whatever you think is best doctor". I have a brain, I do my research, and I am a mother who needs your brain working as well.

I am never taking him to that office again. Ever. Even if all the other's burned down or went out of business.
