Stupid Doctor

I think I finally have decided that I need to find a new doctor. We go to an office where there are two doctors. One I LOVE and the other is completely incompetent! I never go to the second one if I can help it, but today I had to since the good dr was not working. Liam broke out yesterday in blisters all over his body. I first only noticed a couple and thought it may be some kind of reaction to the mmr shot he got last week. Later in the day he had lots more so I called the on call Ped. and the nurse there said it sounded like it could be chicken pox. To be honest that hadn't crossed my mind since the twins had it when they were younger and I remember them getting bumps first and then the blisters later on. I decided to wait it out. We all had a miserable night with no sleep and Liam crying most of the night unable to get comfortable plus he now had a fever. This morning it was looking much more like chicken pox but I wanted to be sure so I wouldn't doubt myself when he didn't get the shot later on. So, I take him to the Dr. (Mr. Incompetent) he looks at him and says it might be chicken pox, but he's just not sure since he's used to looking at pictures of caucasian kids with it and he can't tell if it's the same on my aa baby. He wants me to go to a dermotologist to see if it's really chicken pox. I'm thinking he must be kidding--he's a pediatrician and this is a childhood illness and he can't make a diagnosis??? Mind you I'm already almost certain it is chicken pox--but he says there's something else it could be so I go to the Dermatologist (pay another more expensive co-pay) only to find out it is chicken pox. I told the Derm. right off that I felt silly being there because I thought my Ped should be able to tell me if it was chicken pox or not--he was really nice and told me it is harder sometimes to tell on AA children especially since there aren't tons of them that Dr's see around here. I still don't think that's an excuse!! Anyway...the Derm. gave me a prescription that is supposed to help him not scar from the pox so I guess that's good at least and he told me about a lotion that will help the itching so hopefully that will help him sleep better. Poor baby hasn't slept more than 30 min at a time since Sunday night. Ugh...it's gonna be a long 10 days.
