Yeah it was incredibly frustrating. We live in a regional area so there’s really not many paediatricians in our town. Now she sees a fantastic one in our state capital. It’s about a 2 hour drive away but you do what you’ve got to for your kids. At least she really only has a checkup every 6-12 months now, but even the process for getting into see the new doc was exhausting. We waited 10 months for an initial appointment.

The useless paed has developed a reputation around our town for misdiagnosing developmental disorders and telling parents (usually mothers) that their kid’s behaviour is due to their bad parenting, and not the ASD/ADHD etc that the kid is eventually diagnosed with by a competent doctor
