I always took it one step further and PRAYED there would be antibiotics and drugs prescribed because somehow in my "warped, mommy is so tired from lack of sleep because girlies are sick" mind, if drugs were prescribed than the forced doctor visit was worth it!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843773570055703483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973141265011449812.post-26132465337935253342009-08-24T12:11:11.951-06:002009-08-24T12:11:11.951-06:00I'm with ya' on the doctor thing.

The waiting forEVER when you aren't sure if the kid is really sick but probably will be by the time you leave, the expensive co-pay, the tired, cranky, HUNGRY child, the tired, cranky HUNGRY mom. Yup, it's a recipe for disaster.Foursonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07470306593323990269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973141265011449812.post-81441121802458812722009-08-24T11:36:18.468-06:002009-08-24T11:36:18.468-06:00I think I share your mom's thresholds for doct...I think I share your mom's thresholds for doctor/hospital visits. I also use the "on fire and bleeding" criteria for interrupting me on the telephone. More than one person on the other end of the phone has been taken aback my me suddenly barking "ARE YOU ON FIRE? NO? THEN GET OUT OF HERE!" <br /><br />Why can't they figure out that the fancy thing with the buttons that I have held to my ear means "mom/dad's busy"?<br /><br />Oh yeah, doctor (ahem). It also gives you a bit of cred with your own doctor (so long as that's who you get to go to) when you DO come in with a sick kid. You get more attention than just a pat on the head.harmziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05718439326736163120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6973141265011449812.post-70155082022544484752009-08-24T07:07:48.844-06:002009-08-24T07:07:48.844-06:00I totally agree.

He thought I was wrong...but boy, you should have seen the look on his face, when he came in with the x-ray film. Jerk! We have to be our own guides sometimes...and for our kids, too!GiGihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04879399199941943861noreply@blogger.com
