[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find new doctors—MDs—love referring to specialists and ERs. They’re clueless. Give me a nurse practitioner any time. [/quote]

DS said that first the nurse he saw said they would drain it, then the doctor said oh no, this is serious, I cannot touch it and you need the ER or you might lose your hearing. I just feel a little stupid and duped and like I should have questioned it... but my thought at the time was the doctor said it's bad and he needs the ER, so I trusted him. Maybe others would have done the same and I am being hard on myself in hindsight. I just hate that we had this huge cost that could have avoided if a different doctor had treated him in the first place.[/quote]

It's possible urgent care just didn't have the tools. My DH had a similar problem and the urgent care had limited tools. Luckily after like the 4th time flushing the ball of wax came out. They aren't magicians who can solve every problem. I also had a toddler with a split chin who get sent to the ER because they weren't able to sedate him the way he needed to be so he could be stitched up. If this was an emergency and he couldn't see an ENT right away then the ER is the only other option.[/quote]
