Needing advice about this situation

usually the insurance company can help if you used them

There was a Dr that did that to my youngest son. We changed Drā€™s and not in the same building. We went elsewhere

How old is your child ?

I wish mine did as much as yours! Iā€™m impressed they can tidy with ADHD. ASD and ADHD are similar so Iā€™d definitely get that checked out. And definitely report them. The hospital or practice will have a complaints procedure. Mine had an appointment that left them feeling suicidal so itā€™s really important they feel supported by these appointments.

Would report her because she should be helping people and not judging people. Sorry mamma :pensive:

We had a geneticist like that a few years ago. We had seen her for our middle daughter for a couple years before. She kept asking me questions about my pregnancy with my son and I answered them all honestly and politely. I told her with the first scan, the dr was concerned that he had a scary genetic disorder that could possibly cause death and I was terrified so I consented to do the amniocentesis for my own sanity. I needed to know and prepare myself for what was to come. I told her they diagnosed him with the same form of skeletal dysplasia as my daughter when he was 23 weeks gestation and she said ā€œso itā€™s ok for him to have that, but a different diagnosis would have meant you aborted him, right ?ā€ (Which was not the case) Then when she came back in, I had given my son my phone to watch cartoons on YouTube to keep him calm (heā€™s scared of hospitals & is nonverbal and has ASD, SPD, & IDD) She said ā€œoh I see he has an electronic babysitterā€ I took the phone from him and he started freaking out and panicking and then ran away from her down the hall lol She came back and gave me a form for a handicap pass for him and told me I have my hands full. I switched doctors. She was the only geneticist in the state but I donā€™t care. We drive 3 hours away to see our new one

A 4 year old should be cooking lol?! Making his own toast? What in the world?! Why didnā€™t she just say, heā€™s old enough to stay home alone to?! Thatā€™s ridiculous. I would have ask her to stop talking, took my child and found someone else. Whoever owns the practice your son went to, I would file a complaint and tell them everything she was saying.

Iā€™m so angry for you. If you canā€™t report her to someone at the agency you can report her to the board of doctor.

If you canā€™t talk to someone in the office file a complaint with the code of ethics (I think thatā€™s the name) find another doctor regardless

time to find another Doctor

Girl!!! I feel you. I had a special needs who at 15 the Dr tried to tell me he was anerexia(sp) ha! He couldnā€™t brush his teeth or tie his shoes without prompts and a million of them. That is a choice. My kid loves to eat. He had cancer you jackass!

I would have went the f off on herā€¦ then left and never went back. Iā€™d blast her all over social media and complain go anyone I could. She is unprofessional and should never make a child feel low. Idk what would make her feel like thatā€™s okay. Everyone has bad days but there is no excuseā€¦ find him a different doctor and also let your insurance company know what happened since she is one of their providers

Well first I wouldā€™ve knocked around her ass and then I wouldā€™ve asked someone who her supervisor is and taking it from there

Fire her and file a complaint. Get another doctor.

I learned to ignore the doctor find another doctor. I put my daughter on fish oil tablets after the doctor who diagnosed her tried to tell me to give up my son due to a thyroid issue I later found out she had dropped a baby after it was born. Find a different doctor get a second opinion

So many people are rude and hateful these daysā€¦in doctor offices , stores , cashiers, court houses . I donā€™t know what has happened here maybe the Pandemicā€¦Iā€™ve also uncounted some down right hateful talking people here in this past yearā€¦I almost felt sorry for themā€¦for they must be having a bad dayā€¦

Sweetie - first off is she associated with school? She was way out of line. She is not a medical doctor- she can not state you are reason your child is overweight- she doesnā€™t have access ( useless you gave it to her) to his history.
I would recommend you seeking professional legal advice. If it was through the school - you as the parent have ā€œ paternal safeguardsā€ process you may pursue.

I would have been doing time inside if anyone said that to me never mind a so-called doctor

Take your child somewhere else. That place and that woman will damage him and cause so many other issues with him. You went looking for help and answers and you didnt get it. You got a see you next Tuesday instead! Dont put your child through the torture this woman will cause him.
I have 2 kids with ADHD. One has ODD as well. Getting them diagnosed is the 1st step. The most important step to getting them and you the help that is needed. Please take your baby to someone who cares

New doctor! Whoever that rude charlatan is needs to be reported to someone higher up

Wow, Iā€™d have probably been escorted out. Iā€™d have given that one a piece of my mind.

Find a practice w doctors who specialize in it maybe? Most of the advice isnā€™t wrong but her approach was disgusting.

Go to your gp and get a referral to another pead and explain why. The gp should be able to help you out

Medical director of faculty where this person works. AMA. State board.

I would have went right through her big mouth. If she is a doctor you can contact the medical board and file a complaint with them. Definitely seek out another doctor.

Was this a pediatrician? An actual medical doctor or a psychiatrist? I would Google the place she works for and Google her name find her licensing board and try to report her that way. People like that should not be practicing medicine. Iā€™m so sorry that she was so nasty. I would also find another doctor to evaluate him for sure asap.

Definitely report and get a second opinion!

I saw an R.A. Dr like thisā€¦ I think Dr J from Newark Delaware.

Fire the Physician. Your child needs compassion, understanding and love. Contact your local state division of developmental disabilities to get wrap around supports lined up. A good child developmental psychologist can also assist you on your journey.

If she was in a group of doctors or a corporation you need to talk to the medical director or the medical administrator. And yes be totally blunt and honest. If you cant get any satisfaction then report her to the local medical association or to the hospital board of directors.
A " Professional " and I use the term loosely has no business treating you or your child like that. She works for you and you paid her for her expert advice, so she has no right to treat you like that. She should be excuse the frankness, kissing your ass. Your her boss for that hour of time. Report her to her superiors !!

Wow! That doctor was so very rude. Iā€™m sorry. No one deserves that! I hope you find a more helpful doctor.

Go to the AMA American Medical Association. Then go to their Licensing. We have Pediatricians that specialize in each medical case. Get a case manager involved thru your insurance. Be your childā€™s biggest cheerleader. They are #1 priority and NO pediatrician and/or specialist shall treat them OR their parent-who knows the childā€™s actions, etc best, like dirt under their feet. That license may have more ā€œdingsā€ on it and place them on suspension, and/or Displacement from pediatrics and put in general practice with adults. Those ā€œdingsā€ will follow that Dr. Forever until they stop practicing.
