Ok, I want to add a little more to my above message. An example of the "young new doctors" in our area who were taught in med school or during internship by our old endo (there are a bunch of them around here). Several months ago, Amanda (4) had what I completely felt was a slight sinus infection, so took her to the regular ped. Our regular ped has this new "young, arrogant type" doc (thinks he's a know it all) working with him now. Yes, he did his internship under "that endo." I said several times about thoughts of being a sinus infection in this low grade fever she'd begun to run. This "young doc" was completely insistent on "no, just a virus, no antibiotics for her." I even said, "She hasn't had an antibiotic for about a year, and I really do think this is the beginnings of an infection, could you please just prescribe one for her, it wouldn't hurt." No, he kept insisting, "it's a virus, she doesn't need an antibiotic." WELL, I went home thinking those motherly thoughts we all think at these times. The next morning I still felt it was an infection, so I called the peds office & told the nurse we know well enough to tell that young doc that "CAH people can truly die from an infection, an infection can be masked by the steroids ... tell him that my thoughts are that since he trained under Dr. X-Endo, he was most probably not told what he should have been told about the seriousness of adrenal insufficiency & CAH because Dr. X-Endo didn't seem to know ... so would he please prescribe an antibiotic because I think this is a sinus infection and I don't want to take a chance with this." An antibiotic was prescribed. Truly, I've talked to a lot of these young docs in our area who interned or were taught by Dr. X-Endo ... and when I tell them that they probably weren't taught what they should have been about CAH, etc. ... and then tell them what they should know ... they listen. The look on their faces does tell me they were not told, some have even admitted that they weren't told about the things.
