And that's BEFORE Obamacare. Went to another neurologist who said he couldn't find anything so it was probably "conversion disorder" that would be helped by physical therapy. That at least put us on the right tract. Long story short, several sessions with physical therapists and chiropractor, and she's able to function again.
Sorry, track, not tract.
You’re telling a very different story than this article, though. You had the ability to go to various specialists - who were having trouble diagnosing her, and you finally struck on a right answer. The child in the article had no choice but to go home and die - and THAT’s medicine under Obamacare.
I am terribly sorry that your daughter suffered so much, but, honestly, ( as a health professional myself) sometimes we just aren’t able to make a diagnosis.
I am pleased that you were able to find the help that she needed to get well. Also...Please remember that sometimes people get better, on their own, and the treatment prescribed had nothing to do with the recovery.
More than once my doctor said you have "X" take this pill and see me in a week if you don't get better.
Damn near died several years ago after getting some digestitional problem where I was passing blood by the buckets and could not even hold down glass of water. My doctor (who no longer is my doctor) told me I had a large intestine ulcer and to modify my diet and it would clear up.
After a week, I checked myself into a hospital because I was so weak I could barely get out of bed to crawl to the bathroom anymore
Turned out I had some nasty bacterial infection which was tearing up my guts. Lost almost 25 pounds in two weeks.
