Doctors no longer use common sense, and it's extremely frustrating. Also, what happened to the days when the doctor said "come back in a few days to make sure the treatment worked", and when you came back, you didn't actually pay the fees again. I cannot tell you how many times I've been told to bring my child back (after they did absolutely nothing) for a check-up (just to make sure), and I finally caught on to the scam after the first few times of paying my copays each visit. Thanks for the post and I'm glad to hear your child is well. I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of the medical profession in the United States.

Being an immigrant, I see the problem of lacking coverage and benefits of health insurance in the US, worsened by unnecessary medical procedures. 2. Being a mother, it hurts to see that I put my baby through unnecessary sufferings and discomforts. There are two things concern me:

I honestly believe that you did the right thing by going to the hospital right away. It could have been so much worse and staying home could have caused damage that could not have been fixed. The money aspect always hurts, but I'm sure you would have paid anything if going to the hospital meant saving your baby's life. Take Care SO sorry you and your baby had to go through such trauma!
