Daughters pediatrician troubles
Might be a bit long but I just need to rant about this because it's been on my mind ever since. So my daughters 2 month shots were yesterday ( the 5th ). Two days prior I took her to the emergency room because she was gasping for air and looked panicked she could hardly catch her breath it was terrifying. It was 2 am. After she was having trouble breathing she would scream like a pain/scared scream she hardly does this unless something was wrong. So I was super stressed out I didn't know what to do so I took her. She has been congested for about 5 days before the ER visit I was worried there was fluid in her lungs or pneumonia. Jump to her appointment I was talking with her pediatrician about why I went and my worries. He said well you shouldnt of went to the ER you should have called here I said well I didn't really know I could do that which I didnt. I'm a ftm and still figuring out everything. Maybe that's my bad but I wasnt thinking straight. Then he proceeded to tell me how I cost the state $5,000 compared to the pediatricians office of $65. His tone was super condescending and made me feel like I did something wrong. I felt I did nothing wrong I was scared for my daughter and the ER was the first thing that popped into my head. Then he told me she has reflux and that gasping for air can happen etc etc. Am I taking this personally? I told my husband about it (he had to work and couldn't come to the appointment) and he wasnt happy with his comment either about the money like that should matter when I thought there was something seriously wrong with my baby. I am having a really hard time letting this comment go I could really use some advice. Tia.
