Correct

You should have taken the child to the ER.

It was very minor though

Went to his primary peds the next day when we returned home from vacation

He said it was croup and no big deal. And he recovered a few days later



But now you have me freaked out and if I hear it again should I really go to ER? My pediatrician said it wasnt a big deal

quote:

Really? Do the MDs tell you how to crunch your numbers, run Microsoft excel, or write your reports?

---

No

Well, sometimes they sure as shite tell me I am wasting my time auditing certain things

quote:

Sounds like you just overstep your boundaries into territory that you admittedly “know nothing about”

---

I have never once told the MDs anything about medicine

quote:

---

Why don’t you either own your statement that someone fricked up?

---

Because I didnt make it....

quote:

---

Or is your entire point that doctors in general can make mistakes?

---

My entire point was antibitoics are prescribed far too much

quote:

---

And yea you did imply much more when you claimed the doctor was “lazy”. Literally the only fact you know for sure from that article is that the doctor gave an antibiotic. How do you get from that fact to the doctor being lazy?

---

I literally in the very first post said that isnt neccessarrily the case here. I literally said that


I also even further explained it by page2 that the doctor may have done exactly what they should have in this case in order to clarify my point so people wouldnt think I am pointing fingers at this doctor

And in that post on page 2 I also said that is for the doctors to discuss in here because they are the ones that know medicine, not myself


You need to settle down Doc, we are all in this together. Administration is here to make your job easier.....

all good. I would just think from another perspective when you start throwing around words like lazy and negligent when the only fact you know is that they gave an antibiotic.

That’s like me saying “yea that administrator ran an audit, sounds like a lazy negligent guy”. That’s not a fair statement and neither is yours. Antibiotics are prescribed every day and there are millions of properly treated infections a year, saving countless lives.

It would absolutely be "fair" (not sure what fair has to do with anything) if I did something that often could be a sign of a lazy audit.


I would only call you a prick a-hole if after I showed you why it wasnt lazy, if you still called me lazy and thought you knew more than me.


I dont get offended when people question my work, and neither should you......


I only get mad when after proving my work was effecient, someone with less knowledge still questions it out of ignorance.



Right away in this thread when the medical doctors said this was proper protocol, I took their word from it and nothing more

Well I don’t know what else to tell you

This isn’t a “I’m smarter than you” argument. This is me saying maybe you should not be so quick to call people lazy and negligent based on very little facts. Do you know what happened in the office visit?

quote:

---

I simply think of the possibility of a lazy doctor when I hear "here is your antibiotic, go home"

---

Yea because of your bias against doctors. Why would that be your first thought? Antibiotics have saved billions of lives.

You jump to a lot of conclusions that is all

Yea I definitely over reacted I just found it incredible that you actually work with medical professionals and have that level of bias and ignorance toward doctors and medicine in general

quote:

---

I will say this, doctors are the single hardest group to work with. Some are fantastic, but as a whole, it is very difficult. Likely where my bias comes from

---

Fair enough. It might come from the fact that society expects a doctor to always be right in a situation that is more complex than any of the other positions you listed.

Good grief, people use hot tubs at hotels and rentals?

I think most doctors would be open to hearing how you could improve their business, I can understand why they might get a little defensive when you start telling them when and where they should prescribe antibiotics.
