Lost Confidence in Pediatrician

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

We had our son Zach tested for CF a month ago. We should have had

him DNA tested at birth because he had a meconium illeus, but our

docs assured us to wait to see until the newborn screen blood tests

came back. His test was normal. I just contacted the director of

newborn screening for our state and it turns out that my state does

not even test for CF!!!!

My pediatrician put off a DNA test for a year because my son's

newborn screen test was normal. I have lost all confiedence in his

pediatrican and may be switching doctors even though it may include

driving an hour to a new doctor. The doc he has now is just a few

minutes away but I worry that she is clueless!

My husband wants to stay with this doctor because of the

convenience, but I am not so sure.

Any advice would be appreciated...

Thanks!
