[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 505623, member: 2211"] I have to say that in almost every situation, sharing difficult child's entire medical history has been beneficial. I can't recall the exact situation, but there was only one time I can think of where I regretted sharing her history because the ER doctor either didn't hear it all or completely misinterpreted what I had said. I felt like I was put under the microscope, as if I was making it all up. From all appearances, difficult child came off as a normal typical girl...it wasn't until you got to know her that you then would realize there was more going on, Know what I mean?? So this doctor just kept asking me the same questions and at one point asked if he could speak with difficult child alone. I think she was around 13 or so and I asked difficult child, she said if I left she would leave, so I didn't leave. The doctor looked put off. Can't remember why we were there, it may have been an allergy thing or asthma. Anyway, I am careful, but I'd rather risk sharing the info than withholding it on the off chance it may hurt my child.
