Hi Everyone!
Just going to vent here for a quick second and get it out of my system. I had my four year old at the doctor's today. She has strep throat. Her pediatrician told me that I have a 50/50 chance of getting it and that I should call and tell my cardiologist that my daughter definately has strep and see what he wants me to do. The pediatrician said that you can sometime get strep and not really develop any major symptoms. I called and left a message at my cardiologist's office. When the nurse called back, I wasn't home, so my husband talked to her. He said she was so rude. She acted like the call was a waste of time and that she had other things to take care of. She said that she had told me a long time ago that they never give out antibiotics unless you feel sick. When she told me that the circumstances were a little different. The pediatrician is the one who told me I had to call the cardiologist and let them know. The nurse also said that I should contact my PCP and get antibiotics if I start to feel sick. UGH! It's not so much what she said, but the way she talked to my husband. Like the whole thing was a waste of her time.
Oh Well, I just had to get that out of my system.
It's been awhile since I have been able to post, due to computer problems, but it is nice to be back. I am trying to catch up on the posts.
Take Care!
