Fired from my Pediatrician

[Guest guest]

I was recently " fired " from my ped for leaving 40 flyers of various interest in

the lobby.

They contained information on the FDA Rototeq Alert, mercury in flu shots for

pregnant

women, and MCV's for children (including, but not limited to the flu shot).

There are 5

pediatricians in his practice, all members of the AAP. When I returned to his

office two

hours later after a chest X-ray for my youngest, Parents and pregnant women were

scouring over these strategically placed flyers. I have done this numerous times

before and

he still has never had the b*lls to confront me, but as I am one the few mothers

of two

children with autism that argues with him, and the flyers only show up on the

day I bring

my kids in, I'm sure he has figured it out

His reason was, God Forbid, I went to a DAN! and after various tests realized

that both of

my children have Common Variable Immune Disorder. His ego was tarnished because

I

couldn't find these answers through him, and because he won't support the fact

that they

now receive IVIG every 4 weeks. When we first moved here I told him of their

test result

showing mercury toxicity, and more recently their porphyrin results confirming

this and

lead toxicity (which we were unaware of previously), his response was that he

had never

heard of the Labs and coudn't back up what we were doing to treat it.

Don't feel alone, I got fired from our doctor too. lol In this case the doctor

was actually a specialist in treating autism and chelation therapy. However, he

had a fit when I insisted that some test results be forwarded to me because I

didn't want to wait a month for the follow up appt. When I insisted they just

said it was against their policy. When I asked to talk to the doctor I was told

(by a very rude nurse) that " the doctor doesn't talk to patients over the

phone. " I was told that if I really wanted to see the results I could have them

and could take them to another doctor to " interpret " for me. Then I really lost

it and said some pretty rude things (which I'll admit were out of line). I did

write a letter to the head of the clinic to apologize and also outlined how I

had been treated so rudely. Never got a response.

But seriously, I'm not a moron. It didn't take rocket science to understand

what the results were. Esp the way they were laid out and even had commentary

from the lab explaining them.

But I decided that this was just probably not the right doctor for me. If they

can't share test results even knowing that I'm coming back in to go over what

they mean and discuss options/treatments then there obviously are either trust

or ego issues that I can do without. For now I'm working thru our GP who will

at least listen to my opinion.
