We were a bit worried about our 17 year old son. He has been suffering with headaches and dizziness for about a month.
Started off with his pediatrician who have him one migraine medication and referred him to a neurologist. Seems about right, I have migraines. Our son didn?t tolerate that medication well.
We get the neurologist appointment, it?s a zoom call. Dr. hasn’t been to the hospital and has only been doing zoom Dr. For 2-1/2 years because china virus? even though he is proudly 4X vaxxed. The very courageous Dr, he even took off his mask for the zoom call. 5 minutes into the call and Fauchi finds out our son had COVID in July. Insta-Diagnosis: long COVID and incurable but we can treat it. SMFH. What a lazy sonovabeach! Seriously, we waited 2 weeks for this quack and now we have a neurologist diagnosis of long covid on the kids?s record. Had to fight like hell to get the insurance to allow a 2nd opinion. It doesn?t seem possible in america for me to grab a fist full of cash and just hire a Dr for a 2nd opinion anymore
Well yesterday morning my wife calls me at work, kid’s headache is bad can I take him to the ER?
Quick look around the ER and it’s apparent that I’m the only one who will be paying his bill. Naturally we wait 3 hrs to be seen.
Check-in nurse, most interested in: ”Is he up to date on his vaccinations?” “Yes, he has all his childhood vaccinations” This is a recurring theme in this story.
Wait 2 hrs to be called, ER room nurse checklist: ”Is he up to date on his vaccinations?” “Yes, he has all his childhood vaccinations”.
Next nurse: ”Is he up to date on his vaccinations?” “Yes, he has all his childhood vaccinations”.
Finally the Dr, Young guy, early 30’s? Seems like a good doctor. He goes on to perform a pretty thorough examination, probably 1/2 hr.
Midway through the examination he starts asking my son about chest pains. The kid thinks maybe he?s had chest pains. Dr digs into that, sharp or throbbing? Here, or here? Has it migrated to your back? Lots and lots of questions, pushing and prodding my son’s chest.
I’m curious. OK, I’ll bite: Doc, what’s all the chest pain questions about? ”Is he up to date on his vaccinations? We are seeing a lot of boys his age with inflammation around the heart lately.”
Yea..really? Kid comes in for headaches and dizziness, Dr is checking him out for myocarditis? I’ll assume it’s because that’s what he’s seeing a lot of.
Anyways, I did speak with the attending and after bloodwork, EKG and everything, it’s most likely migraines and dehydration. We have a MRI scheduled for next week just to be sure it’s not something terrifying.
