LOL I understand your thoughts but sometimes people are desperate and sometimes in desperation people reach out JUST LIKE ME with a hope that a doctor JUST LIKE YOU will jump on.
I am thankful you do jump on!
Like I said, no honest doctor would make a diagnosis across the miles without at least seeing the patient — we can generally push you in the right direction, BUT BE YOUR DADS ADVOCATE. IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG IN YOUR JUDGMENT SAY IT! IF YOU DONT GET ANYWHERE REQUEST A NEW ATTENDING PHYSICIAN. CALL THE HOSPITAL CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER UNTIL YOU GET AN ANSWER. I would remind you, it may not be the answer you want, but make them CONVINCE you that he has been worked up!!!!
