Oh Carrie, i hope your daughter is fine now, i hope she won't need the surgery, doctors are stupid sometimes. My brother nearly died because of a doctor, he played soccer and he took a blow to the head. He was stunned and his head really hurt. His coach began to worry when he was trying to put his jacket instead of his pants and he no longer recognizes anyone. My mother took him to the emergency, the house physician wanted to take him to the scanner but the chief of emergency said that it was too expensive. For a week his head was sore and he felt dizzy when he lowered his head, he couldn't tie his shoelaces. My mother took him back to the emergencies and the house physician told him he had a blood vessel that has burst and a millimeter higher or lower he would have died. My mother was very angry and they tell her she had to complaint against the chief of emergency, she didn't because she was so happy my brother was alright.
its like a game ...lets see how long we can get them to come and pay for office visits before they figure out we're completely clueless..
and what's worse is when your the mom and its your kid going through this for some reason EVERYONE blames you. Like somehow being a mother you should have this special talent for seeing through the bullshit. Everytime we would get screwed over someone would always say to me "well if that was MY kid I would've found the right doctor or I would've gotten some answers!
like I have special powers or something! POOF! You doctors better watch out now! Ive got my special mommy liar detector shield up now! assholes beware mommy here!!

I believe i'm at least intitled to a cape if i'm supposed to be a superhero !
A mother would do anything for her child. I remember a story that said that a mother had to lift a car because her child was trapped underneath the car.You are a good mother, don't worry, the doctor is stupid. You love your daughter and i'm sure you yell at her doctor. The doctors believe they have all rights. Fortunately they are not all like that. You know when i was 9 years old, I was hospitalized in surgery, my surgeons was great with me, i was on a drip to relieve the pain in my stomach but I was with a girl who was 4 years old who was in pain and when his mother ask for medicine she got yelled at. Her surgeon didn't care for her. It was her fault her daughter was in pain because she didn't let the surgeons do their job. I remember I was very uncomfortable. I wasn't in pain while the little girl was in pain and his mother was crying and afraid. She asked my mother to watch her daughter all the time because she couldn't watch her daughter in pain.I even asked my brother who worked in the emergencies to do something to help her. My brother went to see the chief of pediatrics who came immediately to see what was going on and he took her in pediatrics before yelling at the surgeons because they didn't know what she had and they didn't ask for help from the pediatrician and they let this little girls in pain for two day. My mother was angry and she told the chief it was a shame to let children suffer.
I'll cross fingers for you and your daughter but i'm sure she will be fine.
