A discussion with the doctor #NHBPM
This was a few years ago, but the emotions from that conversation still hold me even to this day.
We went down to Yale Children's Hospital for a regular follow up visit to the gastroenterologist (GI). Alvin has had issues with his bowels and constipation since birth. During this visit, the GI repeatedly told me that all test results, biopsies, scans, endoscopies, etc, had all come back completely normal. -I- must be the reason that he wasn't gaining weight and his bowels weren't functioning properly. That he had no choice but to call Children's Protective Services (CPS) and report me for possible child abuse and Munchausen by proxy. And he did.
