My daughter has a medical problem which is causing us to have to see many specialists and order a lot of tests. I am not able to go just to a Peat friendly Doctor. I am always questioning them and trying to understand exactly what is going on. I want to participate in our medical care. I also am trying to protect my daughter from exposure to excessive x-rays and contrasts dyes. I do my research and come up with alternatives I know are medically acceptable but... Dr.s hate me. I don't think I am being rude but just even asking questions seems to make them very angry.
We have been to many Doctors and they all want to order repeat tests. It takes so long to get into see each Dr. that by the time we do they say to scans are old and need to be redone. I think I am one of the only people who has ever questioned them or at least it seems that way. My daughter needs another MRI. I don't believe contrast dye is necessary but how do I convince a Dr? It is not a life threatening situation and therefore I feel non-toxic diagnostics are the obvious choice. I would appreciate any tips people might have.
