I had to call him this afternoon to inform him of the appointment. They're seeing her on Tuesday morning already.

He's so arrogant, it just irritates me to no end. The doctor - the pediatrician - said my daughter is in the 3% range for growth. Her dad says he's looking at a difficult to read copy and she's "clearly" in the 1% range. I just said "well, the doctor said 3% and she's got a lot more experience in reading those charts, so I'm going to trust her." Then he says "after reviewing her medical history and "all" of her other problems (what other problems? She doesn't have ADD according to him, remember?) it's "obvious" what the problem is." First thing that pops into my head is "Oh, you're going to pin her growth problems on her ADD meds," but instead I asked "And that would be....?"

"It's genetic."

Why are we wasting money and hours of driving to go to an endocrinologist? Her dad already has her diagnosed. I'm sure we could go to a vet supply store and get some bovine growth hormone and dope her up ourselves with a little Internet research.
