[QUOTE="mstddybr, post: 193133, member: 5832"] I went to the doctor's office today with my difficult child to get a blood test for allergies. It was a complete nightmare. He was fine until the nurse practitioner said he would get a blood test and then he began to scream that he wasn't goin to do that. The nurse came in with all the equipment she needed and he started to cry and freak out. He's a big boy for 8 years old weighing 101 lbs. so I was afraid he would get hurt worse if he fought it. I had left work early to go pick him up since I work about 45 mins. from home and he goes to school close to where we live. I rushed, got my sister to pick him up, picked him up at her house and rushed to the doctor's office where now they charge for parking in the lot. I also paid the deductible. By the time we were in the exam room going through all the drama it was almost 5 p.m. and closing time. The doctor came in and said, "just send it to the lab; they have a chair there that'll hold him." Then the nurse practitioner said to me, "Boy, he's pretty dramatic; you should send him to drama school." I got home and was upset at everyone from my husband to my 14 month old who wanted me to hold him and cried because I couldn't since my difficult child was crying and screaming loudly still because I did not give him the treat I had promised him if he was brave. Anyway, I just needed to vent a little and let it out. I ended up going for a walk with the baby and my difficult child once he was calm and it helped. I had been so mad at my son for making me waste my time and money but then I got really mad at the doctor and his staff. I feel like switching doctors because they seemed so insensitive. The doctor just wanted to close his office and not deal with trying to convince my son to get the test and the woman seemed very cold. I asked my husband to take my difficult child to the lab to get the test done. After we get the results I think I will switch doctors.
