Just took Tink to the out of hours doctor because she is hoarse, hot, bad mood etc. I said that not only has she not had a drink today (thrown flask at me for offering) or eaten much (got angry I dared to go to the kitchen) she hasn't even asked for milk which she normally would if she's off everything else.
Doctor gives me a (smug?) smile and says "She's getting a bit old though"!!!!
Erm... by who's standards (or should that be WHO's standards?)? How rude, if he had been my GP he would have gotten far more of a mouthful, especially considering I'm just completing my training to work for his PCT in the breastfeeding department! It worries me I could have been someone else that wouldn't have been so up on "extended" nursing.
Think I will be speaking to my HV who's coming over this week and used to work for my dept and my practice manager who employs the out of hours doctor to see me.
(BTW, she has a slight ear and throat infection, not given AB's Calpol and fluids - and Nanny is looking after her tomorrow, having her over night and all day Thursday so she can deal with the moods!)
