Am I Being Unreasonable?

[blessed mom]

The reason why the dr have to fill out MY forms is because parents rarely tell the dr the whole story so that dr has to make a decision based on partial information.

On my form I would have put about discomfort, irritability, fever, around the clock ibuprofene to.

I also would have required the visit to be with the surgeon not pediatrician.

Great idea!

Thank you! Now I can use this the next time I have to send a kiddo home. I feel like she must have left out crucial details from that appt. My son is going to get the same surgery by the same dr and he said that my son should not participate in daycare for 2-3 days and if he is running a low fever for more than 48 hours he should come back to the clinic. So now I feel better for sending him home even if she says he's fine. Dcd picked up dcb's sister and agreed that dcb has not been happy and is happy I was being safe.

I decided not to let him return until Monday. Seems harsh but I feel like this has been going on for too long. Every time I give it a chance it just gets worse...

Your very welcome!! In my experience, parents often and on purpose manipulate the dr into writing a return to daycare excuse. Sometimes they write up what they want and the dr blindly signs it. I'm an RN. I know exactly how doctors (and crazy parents) are.

That's why I developed my form. And that's why in my handbook I reserve the right to contact a physician to discuss a diagnosis as well. And I've done that ONCE.

It's prob for the best he will be out until Monday. Hopefully he gets a little tlc or rest etc that he needs to come back in good shape Monday.
