Sometimes doctors can be so clueless!

Let me give you this story about my son:

He was born very preemie. He did well, and I took him home at 4.5 lbs because the doctors trusted me. Well, as time passed at the well-baby visits the female doctor in the group brought in a resident to observe and then examine him and asked permission.
The pediatrician was rather pushy in style and loud and abrasive, but I was new to it all and ignored those warning signs.
My son was about 7mos and she asked if I had questions. So I asked the same question I had asked before several times about his vision....."he doesn't seem to look at things" and sounds frighten him, and car rides are awful (when babies supposedly love car rides". So this pushy doctor turns to her resident she is "teaching" and states, that "this is a medically trained professional with a high risk baby and she is over protective etc and that is that". She then shined a light into his face and he did track the light...and she pronounced "normal".

Well, the resident then stayed with me in the room and examined my son, and tried to engage him with eye contact and of course he couldn't see her face clearly and ignored her.
She did the doctor things, and left, and I started to dress him and leave. As we came out of the office the young resident handed me a phone # to a pediatric opthamologist and strongly recommended we get there ASAP. She took my hand and said:
"I agree with you, he is fine in every way, but his eyes are not right, and you need to see Dr. M ASAP. Which we did and Dr. M fitted him with glasses immediately. My son had a severe form of congenital myopia, and could not see past 8 inches according to the specialist. I was so insulted and disappointed and angry with the primary doctor. It took a student, to get confirmation for him and his vision problems! (Early fitting of glasses when needed according to Dr.M prevents developmental failures in babies-- which may be diagnosed with the wrong disorder..most commonly autism!!)

I never forgot this, and medical arrogance is high on my list now to watch for. The best doctors, listen, and observe openly without prejudice... and those are the ones you should look for and stay with!
