[quote=Anonymous]OP, here again.  We didn't get shots today because she was getting over a cold, and they generally recommend to wait until the child is better.

And um, no offense, but if there was a back board involved in any room I was in with my child, I'd be making a beeline out of there.

And yeah, good call about the history being in the computer.  Her 3 year old checkup actually had notes in the computer that included things like, "keep up with speech therapy, keep me posted on developments."  Which I have, in emails to her every few months.  FWIW, this doctor is actually quite lauded in the DC area and has won awards.  I like her, but there are times where I don't quite follow her approach.  One of her "concerns" today was that, according to her, my DD was "much more social" at her 3-year-checkup, which was the one, as I recall, where mostly my DD was running around, singing, and trying to get access to the doctor's computer module in the room.  :)

This was the same doctor who also misread some test results that were done on a lesion that my oldest developed on her wrist.  When we came in for her next app't, she started counseling my 12 year old on what she should no now that she had herpes, which would be a lifelong condition.   :shock:  I was stunned and asked her what she was talking about.  She referred to the test result in the computer (I have access to the online records at home as well, since it's Kaiser), and I had read the test as being negative.  She insisted it was positive.  I went home, looked it up and sent her a message about it.  She then called me, completely agape, saying she had misread the test results due to a computer glitch on her screen.

I gave her a pass at the time, told me oldest that everyone makes mistakes, but now I'm not so sure.  :roll: [/quote]
