Hi Max,

I direct keep witnessed some frightening observations alongside ii doctors recently, too direct keep been pondering the question: When should doctors move "removed" from practicing if they are exhibiting signs of AD?


Here are ii examples:

My missy needed a "well view too cheque upwardly @ ii years old. I brought her to MY pediatric grouping (a do containing vi MDs - three of whom are the master copy doctors when I was a child, they are 70-85 years old.) I was really aware of the vaccination schedule too I had copies of her records with me. I was also aware that the ii yr quondam "well cheque up" requires NO vaccinations. My wonderful pediatrician examined my missy too said "Oh she is ii years quondam now, she is lucky, today she'll non have whatever shots :-). He too therefore checked her heart, too said, "how quondam is she now?" When I told him, he said, oh she'll instruct away w/o shots today. After he palpated her belly, too examined her gait, he too therefore said, "I am going to laid upwardly a pneumonia vaccine for her." I mentioned she received her pneumonia vaccine @ nine months."

(The deplorable part, is that he was such a sweet, compassionate doctor, whom I saw for xviii years, but clearly something "was up".) Is this a cherry-red flag? My hubby said that something was definitely incorrect with him...)

The other instance involves our vet. The physician has been inwards do for 45 years. Again, an amazing vet, however, he made several grave errors that could direct keep been really dangerous. Our true cat has lymphoma, diabetes too pancreatitis. It would move likewise lengthy to instruct into detail, however, he forgot multiple of import items including the fact that he simply administered insulin to the cat. He mentioned that he volition give Blackie ii units of Lantus insulin, whereas I needed to "remind" him that he already gave it to him!

Could it move that the doctors were simply having an "off" day? I know in that location are millions of octogenarians etc, that are really precipitous too lucid who are silent practicing. I truly prefer "old timers" who are seasoned with years of experience!

I know your adjacent inquiry would be: Has this happened many times? In regards to H's doctor, I truthfully, used unlike doctors since that incident. Blackie's vet, I silent use, but he hasn't made errors of that magnitude again, but is silent unaware of his gender, too repeats questions which were already answered.
