D had visit with nutritionist yesterday - she hasn't lost any more weight, but hasn't gained either - still at 96 lbs. I have to figure out how to sneak more calories into her. Visit with her pediatrician yesterday finally - I think I've decided to fire her - she was pretty useless. At least she ordered the tests I needed, but she managed to say some pretty inappropriate things, and completely refused to listen to the rationale from D's therapist for putting her on BCPs (has been used to try to preserve bone density in anorexics - mixed results in the studies - but therapist feels that the estrogen seems to help their mood in recovery - and those of us who have been in perimenopause can attest to the effects of low estrogen!)
Pediatrician however is young and dogmatic and refuses to consider it until her periods completely stop. What a wanker. (Can a woman be a wanker?) I don't mind someone disagreeing with me, but it really irks me when they won't even stop to listen to or consider the choice. I could respect her if she said - "well, I see the point, but in the absence of hard data supporting it's use, I'm concerned about the other side effects" or something like that. I can't imagine how people who AREN'T physicians deal with the idiots in the medical establishment, if I'M having this hard a time
