It would be like selling one of my grandchildren. You say you would die for your yorkies. But you don't think about how much it hurts them when you sell or give their children away.

In 51 years, I've yet to find a Dr that will listen to what you tell them. Heck, my f-i-l was going to a supposed great Dr in Greenville, SC(one of our bigger cities down here), if they wouldn't have moved back up to Ill to a big city, he would have been dead by now, as he had an anurysm he had had for years..of course, these quacks down here, didn't even know how to find the problem that they should have been looking for..so, that's great, I'm happy you have some better Drs there..

Again, I will defer to the experience we had with our son and an entire year of having him in and out of the hospital, often in critical condition. He had a team of 7 specialist working on his case and believe me when I say the communication was key. Also understand that often times we would see one of those same Doctors at 6:30 AM and again at 9:30 PM. So, if I had to reiterate a symptom, or confirm what I said, or they said to me - then that is what I did. Communication is a two way street and as a patient, or a patient advocate part of that responsibility lies on you.

In the medical field, as in any profession you will find individuals that run the gamut from adequate to fabulous. It saddens me when blanket statements are made for an entire group. It was often one of the Doctors that hugged me when my son had once again taken a turn for the worse, or that would call me at 11:00 at night to make sure he had fallen asleep, or that cried with me when they wheeled him out of PICU and let us take him back home for the final time = cured. So, these same people that you say are ONLY in it for the money certainly showed me that often they are in it with their hearts...

Swimmom, I agree with you! I'm gonna give you a piece of advice...I've learned on this list you just can't convince some and then there will be some you can...You have an amazing son and I admire your family! He will succeed in the medical field and that's all that matters. Dont' let anyone rain on your parade :)
Just like I was told I was riduculous for not putting a yorkie puppy with small children no use arguing not worth it :) No use getting into a pissing contest. I"m the adult so I am taking the adult approach and not argue :)
You know I love ya hon!

You are right...no matter what is said, some people will never be convinced otherwise.. Some people are just set in their ways and not willing to learn

If you don't like what I have to say and how I practice or what I believe in then you have the power to ignore my posts. I did state whether it be right or wrong in "your" eyes its the way I do things and the way I see it it's right for me and that is all that matters. You dont have to seek me out as a breeder doesn't matter to me. I place my puppies with whom I want and feel comfortable with.
I don't agree with many on YT but I do handle myself in a professional and ethical manner and I do expect to be treated as I treat others but I know that's sometimes impossible. Like me or not it's still my choice as how I practice and believe.

I never directed anything towards you. I dont agree with some others either so being this is getting to hot for me I am pulling out of the fire!

I'm glad that you do all you do more power to you! I couldn't do all that and devote time and energy to raising my show dogs and go to shows. But again, I'm entitled to my opinion!

Even after missing nearly an entire year of school due to illness, he worked to complete that year in record time, graduated a full year early with an extra 12 credits over the requirement for an Honors degree, top of his class of 1,200 students, also an athletic Letterman and a student leader. He received more scholarship offers that any other individual in the history of his school and got a 10 minute standing ovation during the schools award ceremony. So, again...I beg to differ.

But, this isn't about my son. This is about the idea that there are some extremely qualified people that go into the medical field. These same individuals often go above and beyond the call of duty on a daily basis. And for that I am eternally grateful!

If the Doctors in your area aren't meeting your satisfaction, perhaps you might choose to travel to an area that will meet your needs when required.
