samston, you cannot make posts like this here, then expect to enter into supposedly intelligent conversation elsewhere. you have totally discredited yourself.
there are estimated to be between 10 to 15 million doctors on this planet, and you genuinely believe there is no such being as a good doctor?
clearly you are beyond objectivity, or clarity of thought on this issue, but i commend you to at least educate yourself a little, and what better place to start than to read up a bit on the nobel laureates in physiology or medicine over the last 100 years.

That's true. You can't say that all Dr's are bad but the good ones are few and far between. At least from my experience. Like I said my OB is the most wonerful Dr. on the face of the earth.

Why does it take me going to the 4 differnet Dr's before one is competent enought to diagnose that both my kids have ear and throat infections???? I am so pi$$ed off.
Also, I brought my daughter. to the Dr for a follow up visit for bowel issues. I decided to bring my 8 month old along as she was coughing and had a fever. My regular pediatrician was away but they work in the same office. So after checking my daughter I politley ask if he can have a quick look at my 8 month old. She didn't have an appointment. Well he says : "No, I'm all alone today and I have a medical student here. Bring her to a clinic tonight! "He then leaves and doesn't even tell me when to bring my daughter back in for the bowel issues. Could he not have been a little less rude? My mom came with me and both of us were like.
So then I had to drag my poor 8 month old and 2 1/2 year old to another Dr. They both have ear and throat infections and need antibiotics. The first Dr. checked my 2 1/2 year old and said she was FINE.
Thanks for letting me vent. I feel like its all about money these days. Why be a pediatrician if you can't stand kids????
Lisalan, you need to take this opportunity to learn what to do to keep your children healthy so this never happens again. There is a wealth of information on the interent about nutrition that can prevent future ear infections and illnesses. Use the miracle of the internet to learn how to keep your children healthy. Avoiding dairy products would be my first step, if I were you.
and please, no nonsense about how this is country-specific, and it is too ambiguous/relative. Please state if your legal jurisdiction or country has something similar.
your crusade is not the subject of this thread, but i couldnt let your borderline bigotry go unaddressed up there ^
anyway, to the OP, im sorry you had such a bad experience, but really, despite what you may currently feel, and what others may say, the fact remains that there are plenty of good doctors out there, and i hope you manage to find one for you and your family.

"Milk allergies are very common in children... They are the leading cause of the chronic ear infections that plague up to 40% of all children under the age of six."
Cow's milk allergy is associated with recurrent otitis media (ear infection) during childhood."
Acta Otolaryngol 1999;119(8);
"If a bottlefed baby has an ear infection, eliminate milk and dairy products from the child's diet for thirty days to see if any benefits result...a cause of frequent ear infections in children is food allergies."
