Shots can be a little intimidating at first, and the Baygam shot is not the easiest one to start doing on your own, because it is a very " thick " liquid and can be slow to draw and inject. Do you have a friend or neighbor who is a nurse? When I started doing shots on my son (initially kutapressin, now Baygam), my nurse friend came over and showed me how and where the first time, then when we did the second one, she came over and watched me do it just to be sure I understood. This worked out really well for us and now the shots don't bother me or my son very much at all. Another option would be to call a local lab. I don't know what they would charge you, but they could probably have one of the technicians do it for you. Some ideas, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Its disrespectful of your doctor's office to snicker behind your back. Your doctor should be thankful you are not getting on his back for ignoring your child's ailments and watching your child go down the tubes prior to Doctor Goldberg's intervention. Shame on your doctor's office for sending you on a " wild nurse chase " to only tell you that you need written permission. We all could write quite the book detailing the rude manner displayed by some doctors and nurses out there. Don't take their garbage and hold your head high. You are doing the responsible thing which is helping your child. Also know that not all in the medical field are narrow-minded or act unprofessional by being rude to patients in regard to Dr. G's treatment. Just a suggestion, look around for a retired nurse to adminster the Baygam shot. A retired nurse may have more time and flexibility with their schedule. E-mail us privately and we can give you more details. BenGam shots > I am hopping somebody can help me with my problem. Dr. G prescribed BenGam > shots for my daughter.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Thank you all for the advice. I will check around for the nurse who can teach me how to do it and maybe watch over my shoulder the first time. >From: " Jansen " <nids.lecture@...> >Reply- >< > >Subject: Re: BenGam shots >Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2004 11:51:01 -0500 > >Its disrespectful of your doctor's office to snicker behind your back.
