The short version:
My friends took their daughter to the doctor complaining of various symptoms (she was only 5). The doctor threw them some aspirin samples and (literally) headed out to the golf course. No tests were ordered. Less than 24 hours later, the child's mother is driving her limp, nearly lifeless child to the hospital - her tummy as big as a watermelon. She nearly died in the ICU and lost her hearing as a result of the pressure in her brain. The child (now 17 years old) had bactierial menengitis and it was revealed subsequently (in court) that the symptoms the child displayed in the doctor's office the day before were textbook menengitis symptoms. The parents had a bad feeling when they left the doctor's office the day before. My point in posting this is so that anyone else who has a similar bad feeling when they walk out of the doctor's office should go see another doctor. Don't just assume the doctor knows best. While they might be knowledgeable and experienced, they don't have your instincts about what is wrong with you or yours.
