[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand all the quasi-medical questions on DCUM.  Do your doctor's offices not have nurse's lines?  This is exactly what the nurse's line is for.  Call the nurse's line and see what they tell you to do.  [/quote]

This is so dumb.  When you're a woman, and you show up with a kid (literally, the two least taken seriously demographics by doctors) with vague descriptions of a tummy ache, the doctor is clearly going to say 'keep an eye on it', 'try keeping track of food and activities and see if you notice a pattern', 'it's really common for kids to complain of tummy aches - it's usually nothing'.  Basically everything that posters are saying on here.  What would a doctor possibly say that's different?

Point is: when it's non-testable issues, crowd sourcing thoughts from parents is going to be as good or better than going to a doctor.  [/quote]

Plus if you have high deductible insurance you end up paying $200 for nothing. [/quote]
