The Coughing

I swear if one more doctor tells me that my son's cough is just a cough and try a humidifier I am going to body slam their stethoscope. H has a cough, it keeps him and everyone else in the house awake at night. He coughs until it sounds like he will puke. He is upset and exhausted. I finally tried some magic words like coughing spell and reactive airway and we got an albuterol inhaler. Which by the way the doctor said might make him bounce off of the wall. So my child who isn't sleeping well will now have even more reason not to sleep.

Some days I wish I could go to medical school. I wish I could prescribe my own medicine and take care of my children myself. Plus at our current military clinic there are a ton of residents and interns. Our "Dr" today looked like she was about 23 years old. The last time we went in our "Dr" who looked 16 asked me if I was a doctor, I think because I do research before I go in and know some of the lingo. I am so thankful that we have not had to deal with any serious illness, other than the cancer scare we had a couple of months ago.

Maybe I will go to medical school, oh yeah and add that to the $70,000 of student loan debt I already have. Sigh.
