called the new ped and made an appt. called the old ped and cancelled the appt and asked about records transfer. i'm not sure why this is bothering me so much. they are nice people but they have sold their souls to the drug reps. i think it's nostalgia for when sylvia was teeny tiny as opposed to just being quite small.

Rotavirus...

Rotavirus can definitely be fatal.... in fact, Amy and Ira's daughter lost a ton of weight and was hospitalized with it. Amy's just lucky they got her into the hospital so quickly.

HOWEVER....... to keep trying to talk you into a TRIAL of a vaccine, whose occasional side effect is fatality????? Sheesh, I can understand their asking you once. Hell, I suppose kids are needed for medical trials, though I'd never put my kid through one unless it was, god forbid, our only option..... but to keep trying to talk you into it once you'd made your feelings KNOWN? Fie on them... FIE, I say! (ok, so I'm in a bizarre mood, so sue me)

I'm glad you switched, is the basic point of this post..... they do sound like drug company whores....

The specific research being done was on a new vaccine for Rotavirus, to determine if they had eliminated the complications of the original vaccine developed a decade or so ago.

No, I do NOT want to take the risk of Sylvia developing FOLDS IN HER BOWELS due to a vaccine. I don't care if the surgery to fix it is free, that's just as much a risk damn it.

I have absolutely no problem with the initial asking if we wanted to join the test. But they kept mentioning it after we said no. I think it was because the head doctor at this pediatricians office was in charge of the particular trial for the area...
