What is the name of your state? California
My son had chronic ear infections since he was 3 months old. We took him in every month to get antibiotics and would ask about a specialist. Finally, they referred him to a specialist, only to have the referral coordinator sit on the referral for 5 months. Soon as he got into the specialist, they recommended tubes. Similarly, the same coordinator sat on a referral for him to see a specialist eye doctor for his farsightedness/lazy eye.
His speech is very delayed for his age due to the length of time it took to get into a specialist - and his vision may/may not be correctible now.
Is there anything I can do? I'm frustrated that some of this could have been avoided - that they've robbed him of being a normal kid.
