Hey guys! I work with a lady who has a 20 month old daughter. Her daughter is contstantly sick...
random low grade fevers
loads of breathing issues (Been told it asthma)
ear infections
The list goes on. Anyway she went to a "specialist" (I think pulminary) for the issues (they have tried so much medicine on this little girl and none of it is working.) As she was talking to this new Dr, he asked about all of the tests that were done. She told him all of them and at the end she said "Oh I forgot the most important one. They did a CF sweat test, but it was inconclusive"
This Dr laughed in her face and asked why they did a CF test and then added, "black people don't get CF"
I was livid and so was my supervisor (whose daughter has CF). I have been looking around for a someone who can help this little girl, CF or not they need an answer. I guess what I'm asking is that if any one here has any suggestions or names or *anything*...
We are in the Maryland area.
