[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you the problematic parent or the reasonable one?[/quote]

The reasonable one. I'm just trying to understand the implications.

I want someone to be able to work with both parents and I'm trying to better understand if this is a parent issue or a doctor issue.

Obviously it's easier to only communicate and coordinate with one person. But I would think this is somewhat normal and find the request a little odd. They didn't elaborate, only to say the other parent paints a very different picture of the situation.

I understand the importance of continuity of care, but again- communicating treatment plan to multiple caregivers isn't that unusual. [/quote]
Well one implication is that it will always be your job to take your kid to the doc, no matter how inconvenient (or impossible) for you.

The doctor fired your spouse.

I have to wonder if the doctor thinks they can push you around more than your spouse. I'm guessing you were the "good cop" and your spouse was the "bad cop". Well guess what? Sometimes you need the bad cop.

Even if your kid is very medically complicated, *especially* if your kid is complicated, you need a doctor you can trust 100%, especially when a child is involved and CPS due to medical "non-compliance" is an issue. I get really bad vibes out of this situation. [/quote]
