[QUOTE="Andy, post: 163330, member: 5096"] When difficult child started falling apart last Summer, his pediatrician doctor said, "I don't know what this is. I am going to treatment the symptoms, I THINK it is anxiety. Here is Zoloft." I asked for a referral. No way am I going to medicate with Zoloft on a "I don't know, I think" Finally get to the referring pediatrician doctor (specializes in learning disorders, ADD, ADHD, ect). The new pediatrician doctor reads the referral to me, "He is being referred for ADHD." I said, "NO, we do not know what is wrong - nothing has been diagnosis yet." So this new doctor asks me several questions and ends with, "He does not have ADHD." Right - take it off the record. On to psychiatric hospital family counseling session. SW reads in his record, "I see he has ADHD" "WHAT? No, he does not - take it out of the record!" So, on to neuology appointment, "He has ADHD?" "NO, take it out the the record!" I have since called new doctor's nurse to make sure it has now been taken off his record. Once you make the request to correct the records, ask to read the records as now stands to make sure corrections are made. Our difficult child's have enough issues, they do not need to be medicated or treated as having a diagnosis that has not been officially diagnosed. I wouldn't mind if difficult child does get diagnosis with ADHD, but don't medicate as such until the proper diagnosis has been made! I also have found that irrating as it may seem, I am enjoying the docs (my eye doctor for example) who will verbably review the health history upon every visit - I want them to say the history (don't ask me to) - that way I know they are thinking about my child and if they say something that is wrong, I can correct it. I want to know what they know. I also can know that they have an understanding of what may be going on (do they really listen when I talk?) [/QUOTE]
