[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our ped definitely doesn’t prescribe meds if DC doesn’t test positive. We have had rapid strep tests come back negative and the two day test comes back positive. By then, DC is in a lot of pain. The urgent care will give medicine without a positive test. So will the virtual doctor. If we are 90% sure, because we have been there/done that, we use the virtual visit. We use ped for bigger issues, annual exams, vaccines, referrals, etc.

I would not be upset, OP, because I think this is good modern medicine practice. It may have been different if they had known your daughter for years, have seen her symptoms for this particular issue, etc. Definitely follow-up with them as PPs mentioned.[/quote]

I agree with this.  The test the Dr ran came back negative and she acted accordingly.  [/quote]

Is the virtual doctor different than your regular pediatrician? Where does one find this virtual doctor?[/quote]

This is the solution I need because who in their right mind wants to wait in a crowded urgent care center until 9:50pm?[/quote]
