it seems like none of them know what they're doing

Okay.

Abbey WAS on the third cream for the face rash she's had since last December.

Today we go see a pediatric pulmonologist - who in addition to treating her shortness of breath, writes me a prescription for whatever he thinks is causing the rash.

I call the doctor who prescribed the first and third creams, but not the doctor who prescribed the second cream because she caused the rash to pretty much overtake the entire side of Ab's face, and the first/third doc says no way take what the pulmonologist prescribed, which I was pretty much expecting.

Now he's given Ab two more medicines - the fourth cream and an oral medicine.

I also got him to (finally) refer me to the dermatologist.

Dermatologist office makes me an appointment with their PA. I call back and say, gee, I bet your PA is really good at her job, but after 7 months I really would like to see an MD. The lady on the phone, no shit, says "Well you certainly are asking for the moon." And she didn't mean it jokey.

WTF?

I blame myself. Why have I let this keep going on and on and on and on? Ack. Me and my trust-all-doctors mentality.
