- What's the best route to take to charge a pediatrician with malpractice?
sapphirenut asked:Recently I posted a question about feeding a 4 month old baby small quantities of water. I mentioned that the pediatrician had been rude and snapped at me for feeding her 2 oz of water after 2-3 days of diarrhea. I took her back 2 days later to a different pediatrician and positively insisted on contaminate testing of her stool as there had been blood in her stool for 3 days. The first pediatrician had said it was intolerance of her formula and switched her to soy. The second also switched her to Alimentium BUT heeded my advice to check for Salmonella, ova and parasites (the mother has well water). Come to find out, the baby tested positive for Salmonella (the mother had a boa constrictor in the room that was converted to a nursery). Should I do something to prosecute the first doctor who could have done the same test and possibly prevented the infant from suffering days of cramping diarrhea, an unbelivably raw bottom and bloody stools?
