(They eventually found the problem and it was corrected but it was a traumatic four years for us). In the middle of all this the school called us in and told us they didn't believe there was a problem at all, that she was just making excuses to get out of class. They actually had the nerve to tell us the school nurse was more qualified to diagnose there was nothing wrong than the doctor at the children's hospital!

I mean doctors exaggerate all the time.

Its more profitable for them to have you believe the kid needs to be closely monitored than to admit there is no issue.

So the nurse was probably right.

She said that in Japan, for a parent to contact a teacher outside of the yearly open house is shameful and would mean that there’s a terrible problem. It took a lot of convincing for her to believe that it’s just a matter of routine here!

That's because Asians actually take their schoolwork seriously.

Just because you are in a hospital does not mean you are being seen as a patient.

Do you want the doctor to give his whole diagnosis on Youtube too?

In general, ( not about your situation), Some times doctors go far away in their expectations because they depend on your description while the problem is known ( has cure) and very common.
Yes i have had a Blood analysis but i might get them to do another one as my last one was about 6 months ago.
