Long Time No See!!! I have not been blogging for awhile. I have been plagued with horrific earaches for months (even at the time of my medical update) and I have a doctor who is very Cavelier about earache...when there is Deafness in my family!

Anyway...my earache (where he did detect fluid, yet chose to let it run it's course) turned into month's long and now I have been affected with vertigo the last couple of weeks. The earaches still exists, even if the Vertigo has mostly subsided.

The good news on the Medical front in Florida...(where I have yet to find a doctor respectful of my son's issues, and my knowledge of those issues, and they have all operated here in MY area, with the ages old agenda of refrigerator mothers!!!

I am still treted disrespectfully as the mother and most importantly the "lay-person" that they still view me as rather than the source of input and knowledge of my child that I am.

If you do not understand this concept...than you probably are the Mother of a typically developing child, or hope to be. If you google 'refrigerator mother' or 'refrigerator mothers' you will get a glimpse, of what this life is capable of resembling.

Well I found a new pediatricians office a few months ago...I had not met the doc, as we saw a nurse practiytioner for a well child visit...but yesterday we met her, and she was a doll (Thank you Dear God!!!) and she saw my son (squeezed him in, for his sore throat) and she could not get a swab from him for strep, which she suspected but gave him meds as if...! She also gave him his Rx for his asthma that his last dr refused to renew when we moved here. Because as he said:

"there is no indication that your son has asthma!"
"What do you mean there is no indication that my son has asthma? it should be there in his records"
"Ma'am there is no indication that your son has asthma!"
"He HAS Asthma what do you mean there is no indication he has asthma? It is not there that he has been on Singulair for 3 years"
"NO!"
"I cannot believe this, his last doctor, has not documented that?"
"Ma'am there is no indication that your son has asthma!"
"You are not seeing it in his records?"
"There is no indication that your son has asthma!"
"Do you HAVE his full records?"
"No!"
"Well that is why there is no indication that he has asthma!, Why did you not tell me you do not have his records? I am his mother and can tell you what meds he has been on until you have a full view of his medical history"
"There is no indication that your son has asthma! He sounds fine"
"Yeah he sounds fine at this moment...but what about another time?"
"Come back at that time."

He was so rude to me that my special needs child said "don't talk that way to my mama!" he could not digest the injustice. I can just imagine what he wrote in his folder about me and my child!

I have a word for an "educated" man of such character, but I won't air out here in this arena. I would love to post his name, but I do not desreve the grief I would probably receive, on top of the grief he put me through at that time...and when I had a sick child and could not call my own pediatrician for help!

Maybe I will write more later, when the smoke stops wafting from my "aching" ears!!! :-)
