Take your Malaria meds

[Perseverance 1]

Whenever Stephen gets here and comes down with " flu symptoms ' I will be all over it ......... insist on malaria tests and other parasite testing.

I asked for them to test Justice when he was so sick several months ago and they would not test him.

Are you serious? That's insane. You have good reason to request a malaria test so it's not like you pulled it out your tooktook! Doctors think they know everything! They make me sick!

OK that made me chuckle (tooktook)

Anyway turns out he had Mono which my Lovely teenage boy was so generous to share with his newly immigrated step-daddy. He had a secondary infection as well. Mono gives you some crazy fevers and night sweats. Anyway I just though that it would be smart to rule it out right away but Nooooooooo she did not want to listen to me.

BTW we dont that DR anymore for that reason and the fact that it took her 6 weeks to diagnose the boy, I knew he had mono she just would not test him for that either, I got another DR to test him. neither one of them had text book symptoms.

why noooooooooooot ? They will for me ...I am known to be a very assertive patient advocate ! It will be easy with the Gastroenterologist, he is my client . For the other docs I just insist or go elsewhere unless they give me a good reason of why they won't test.

They know I want to be involved in the decisions of my care or my families care.

I don't like know -it -all- stuck- up doctors who do whatever without communicating the whys and hows.

I have no doubts that you would sit your German butt in that office until they tested him or the police came to arrest you!!!

You know it ...... a la embassy style !
