[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 368416, member: 8831"] i too use a teaching hospital with my difficult child 1 for a different sub-specialty, and never ONCE was a resident or a student allowed to do anything but observe. not once. and its the number one childrens (teaching) hospital in the world. impatient stays are handled a bit differently (and i [I]lived[/I] there for a good part of 2008 so i saw the good, the bad and the ugly), and residents are the primary day to day caregivers, but ALL are closely overseen. but at no point are random residents (or students) making more serious decisions [I]alone[/I] than whether to write a script for benadryl or tylenol. but take it from me (can you tell i can tell you stor-ies!)....residents/fellows are your friend. get on their good side and you'd be amazed what they can facilitate. it by far beats the rant of a parent, no matter how medically sound it may be. they are the day in, day out liason to the people who really can help. learn to use them. so i'd want to clarify exactly what following up with a resident means....if it means they would be in charge of writing a renewal medication rx with little or no changes, thats one thing...if it means they somehow have the ability to change treatment plans or re-diagnosis on their own, i'd be concerned. (i'd also fall over, lol!). so please investigate exactly what your local teaching hospital can offer your child....you may be very pleasantly surprised. [/QUOTE]
