Question 1

what happens if you  file a complaint with the american board of pediatrics?

Accepted Answer

Ask away!: Do understand that you're asking questions on an open forum so there's no guarantee as to which doctor(s) will respond. Remember that we only have 400 characters in which to reply so you may want to try yes/no or multiple choice answers, although 400 characters does allow for short essay. So ask away! By the way, depending upon your goal, specify what type of specialist you need to answer your Qs.

Question 7

can you tell me about fetal skull anatomy - what's the difference between adult skull and pediatrics skull anatomy?

Question 8

in your opinion, which specialty has the smartest docs? the nicest? the least nice? my vote: smartest = pathology; nicest = pediatrics; least nice = it's a tie: endocrinology and vascular surgery.

Accepted Answer

Stereotyping: Stereotyping doctors is of no more use than stereotyping any other group of people. It is more important for you and your doctor to have a good rapport.

recently 2 days back our pediatrics during 4 month wellness child checkup, found that our boy's left testicle is very small. dr ordered ultrasound and the report was "left testicle atrophic".
he just talked over phone gave us this news. our life is comple

Accepted Answer

Right Side OK?: Did he say much about the right side? That is going to be important.  I am sorry to hear this, but if the right testicle is normal, then I don't think there is anything to be concerned with.  Followup with a call or visit to your pediatrician to clarify the ramifications of this!

Question 10

what's the advantage of levocetirizine over cetirizine for pediatrics with allergic rhinitis?

Accepted Answer

None: There is no outcome benefit to levocetirizine (xyzal) over Cetirizine (zyrtec). Levocetirizine is just the left mirror image of the chemical while Cetirizine contains both right & left halves. In theory, for this chemical, the left half is supposed to be the active molecule but in real life, it's doubtful anyone can really tell the difference. More likely than not, levocetirizine is more expensive.
