re: 1-mth-old son referred to neurosurgeon for craniosynostosis (helmet pic p. 14)

Prayers sent and I feel your pain. Doctors like this really get my blood boiling. They justify this by feeling that their time is more important than yours.

My daughter was like 3 lbs at birth, and had a brain bleed at a week old. She was in NICU Willis Knighten for seemed like forever. We thought she was going to have to get a shunt due to the blood clot that formed at the base of her skull. Eventually, her cranial fluid started flowing through the clot, so a shunt wasn't needed. While we were waiting for her fluid to start flowing and her head to stop swelling, her Dr. visited with us several times and even drew out on a scrap piece of paper exactly what was happening inside her head. Dr. Sing at WK. One of the exceptions. I hope your little ones next doctor is more like him. I can attest that they are still out there.
