stupid hospital!

ok, so in my last post i wrote about how trevor has the mumps. well, it turns out he does NOT and the doc at the hospital is a retard. apparently there's a simple blood test he's required to do to "officially" diagnose the mumps and he didn't do it. THEN he didn't bother reporting it to whoever he's supposed to report it to and told me it's not contagious! what an idiot!

we went to see trevor's pediatrician as directed by the hospital and after hearing the whole story, he said my instinct had been right and it WAS an allergic reaction! he's running that blood test just to be safe (b/c he wants to be able to say he has proof when/if he starts getting calls about it), but that trevor doesn't have any of the classic symptoms of mumps other than swollen cheeks. the thing is that his lips started to swell before his cheeks did, which does NOT happen w/ the mumps. the pediatrician recommended that we take tevor to an allergist, then prescribed zyrtec to get the swelling to go down. he also told me that if trevor ever needs to go to the emergency room again, our insurance would cover taking him downtown to children's hospital's pediatric emergency room. i'd rather go a little farther and have to pay for parking to get the right diagnosis the first time b/c this isn't even the first time this particular hospital has given us the wrong diagnosis! (back in september they said he didn't have pneumonia, but he did) i'll also be filing a formal complaint b/c this is ridiculous. . . the doc didn't do all he should have AND gave us the wrong diagnosis and the wrong info about that diagnosis. how does a moron like that ever become a doctor? we won't be going back there for an emergency EVER again if i can help it!
