Now I know

Well, my suspicions were confirmed, our pediatrician sucks.
She flies in yesterday for 10 minutes... reads a couple charts .. looks at Xavier for like 1 minute, ignores everything we tell her, or p'shaws it (especially when we say anything positive about how well he is doing), says "He was so so sick" about 10 - 15 times, then leaves.

Example: "This test shows that we have to keep him on a little oxygen" - doctor
"He was off it all day and last night, and had hardly any few desats (low oxygen saturation), or Brads (not sure what that means)" - us and the nurse
"How bad were they?" - doctor to nurse
"Hardly low at all" - nurse

"Well the test 2 days ago told us he has to stay on it, so we'll put him back on" - Doctor

F*#$ ... who is there all the time... who sees exactly how well he's improving... nurses and his mother. Who does she listen to? A test, and her own negative doomsayer attitude.

Anyways, we're getting rid of her, and the charge nurse will get us another one, maybe one that has a bit of personality, not a clinical, negative know-it-all bitch.
