What a day this was...I am truly struck with emotion right now. I had to take my daugher for allergy test today. She is only 7 and is quite the trooper. Although, they had to do 38 injections into her back today, one by one! The torture, the crying, the pain. It was unbearable..The look in her eyes when they were doing it will stick in my mind forever. Most of you will say "it was for her good" and as I agree yes it was...

But, this Doctor was horribe, once he started and then started talking to us, there was no heartfelt there from him. I got the impression it was about the money because he just wanted to keep doing more and more and more, and she didnt need it. I ended it as soon as I felt that, All to find out her allergies arent severe. Poor child suffered a bad day, and Dad didnt do much better either...

Awww...I feel for you...My daughter also had to go through that. It is not fun

Not at all...What was she allergic to?

poor kid is she airight now?

I just hope she feels better real soon. Allergies are terrible thing to go through, at least you can hope that it pinpoints what it is and then take precautions against them....

Pretty much everything...her allergies are worse in the winter.

Yes, thank you!..She is better and with her mom tonight. I get her back tommorow...I took her to get a Bananna Milkshake afterwards and that helped. It was just the heat of the moment that was truly upsetting...

He sounded like a terrible doctor. I must say though, doctors do not practice for the money. Insurance companies are the ones actually making money in this business.

Thank you! It came back as a light allergy to cats and small amount of wheat also....

Do you know what she is allergic too?

This I would not be able to dispute, I dont have the slightest clue so will have to agree to the fact you know what your talking about. All I know is that Dr. almost went home headless today

Im with you. My daughter has terrible asthma. Her doc has ordered bloodwork twice in the past month. Twice because I haven't taken her to get it done. I know I need to, but it breaks my heart, makes me sick to my stomach to hsee my babies go through anything. Especially when I drive them there.

Some doctors have been known to be wrong...as a good father you used your good judgement......

Cats, wheat, very small amount to string beans, and dust is a given.

The scratch tests are horrible- why didn't he just draw blood and send it out for testing? poor baby

I feel for you, i just hope youre daughter feels better, and these doctors seem like propel assholes.

I am going to get a second opinion, her allergies arent Severe, mainly seasonal. Now he wants to start injecting with the needles in her bac..That's not going to happen

Yeah..my daughter is allergic to cats too..which was bad..cause she was thinking she was going to have to get rid of her cat..which upset her even more. She takes medication now for them and seems to be doing much better...and yeah..dust is a given ...

Thank you

Due to the variance of what they were testing for, so many things she could have been allergic to based upon our conditions. They wouldnt get the results we needed. Thats what I wanted to do at first, but 3 doctors said no
