Ok so quick rant but long info: sorry
Beginning of September of 2020 my 13 yr old daughter started to show signs of Tourette syndrome. By the end of September it was obvious she had full blown Tourette’s. Now here is the gripe.
Due to pandemic it took a month for us to meet with her doctor.
Than he tells us he can’t diagnose her she has to go to a psychiatrist first.
There is exactly 143 psychiatrists in our area.
NOT A SINGLE ONE WILL SEE HER!!!!!
The Doctor won’t see her because:
To young
To old
Not MALE????? Yeah that happen!
Doesn’t do Tourette’s
Does Tourette’s but only for diagnosed people (refused to tell how to get her diagnosed)
Wouldn’t take our insurance and doesn’t do cash
Only online and there for cant diagnose any one
No new patients
And this one pissed me off Said to us there is a chance she is faking.
I tell them FUCK YOU!!!!!
the rest sorry since the pandemic hit we been so full it looks like we can’t get to her till 2023 at soonest.
SERIOUSLY?!?
I worked with kids with special needs and this has, unfortunately, been the norm since all of the COVID craziness. The kids need a diagnosis in order to qualify for any helpful services, but can't get appointments anywhere.
