The bead incident began at daycare in the morning. It ended with a sedated three year old at 10:30 p.m..<br /><br />NOTHING surprises me about doctors. When daughter number two was diagnosed with a rare genetic syndrome, the doctors read aloud from a book. When I suggested that my baby would not need to be tube fed, since she had been drinking from a bottle, I was told I was wrong. Yeah, you know, it says so in the book!<br /><br />I found your blog while looking up Archer Farms Tikka Masala. I was about to blog about it. 18 years ago, my daughter wedged a bead in her nose.

At an Allergist appointment, the doctor told me a name of a type of allergy and said, "Google it"...I was all...ummm...then tell me why I am here...don't YOU know about THIS?! Poor kid! I am glad you both survived!

WebMD, Wiki = for patients
UpToDate, PubMed = for doctors

You can’t get uptodate or pubmed information for free. Hospitals and universities pay thousands for these information sources which are continually updated with the newest information.

It’s not possible for doctors to have it all “committed to memory” because it changes EVERY SINGLE DAY.

:)

You should be happy to hear your doctors “look stuff up”.

I blame the internet.<br /><br />I don't mind docs looking things up on the internet, especially young residents in the ER, as their knowledge base isn't that wide yet. One would hope they stick to reputable sites. Doctors can't have EVERYTHING committed to memory, but they are expected to know where to get the information they need.<br /><br />Tick.In.Head. EEEWWW! Poor Jackson! He've very lucky to have a mom like you who knows how to distract so skillfully.<br /><br />My younger daughter always managed to get sick whenever something bad was going on with my parents.<br /><br />Picture it: Midnight. ER. Me still dressed up from the first evening of my mother's wake, wearing a johnny coat to protect my clothing, while my one-year old screams her lungs out while sitting naked in a tub of tepid water to try to get her 104 temp to break so I could take her home.<br /><br />Good times.
