[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 406256, member: 1233"] There have been times when my calcium levels have gotten really low that I became very confused and easily upset/overwhelmed. NO WAY can they say you have medically neglected him, in my opinion!! I would hope that any doctor would check this kind of thing during a medication wash or any medical crisis, but so often they think that psychiatric symptoms are caused only by psychiatric problems and medical symptoms can only cause medical problems. heck, when I had the cellulitis it impaired every facet of functioning - I literally did not fully understand what was going on because I was so terribly sick. They told me that if I had waited another day to go to the doctor I could have lost my leg or gotten sepsis and if I had waited 2-3 more days I could have been so sick they couldn't have cured it at all. It was that far gone. As it is I still have probls with the muscles in that leg though there are not visible signs of damage. I can see the 2 mo inpatient medication wash/evaluation, but NOT medical neglect. I just cannot see you going against advice of doctors if your child needed it and it was humanly possible. Not agreeing with docs, esp psychiatrist and tdocs, is NOT medical neglect as they are NOT practicing an exact science and I doubt what they want to do would have the results they want. Blaming you is easier than treating him and this happens to a lot of families with tough to treat kids. Heck, it was threatened with us by Wiz' school in 2nd grade when they would NOT challenge him and he kept acting out. Then again because he kept missing school to see the psychiatrist and therapist who had NO after school appts. I had to get the Children's hospital people involved because school watned to take custody of him (same people behind that as drove my seven yr old to try to commit suicide - TWICE!) We will be with you during the meeting!! [/QUOTE]
