Yeah, little Paul has been sending out full color letters and brochures here in KY raving over his tender loving care of preemies and their precious widdle eyes...saving them from the jaws of retinopathy or prematurity.
But 11 years ago when I took my severely premature baby to him for that exam, he was not gentle (son weighed about 4.5 pounds at the time and was over 2.5 months old), barely glanced into my son’s eyes, and was rudely dismissive of any concerns I had.
Then in a regular visit he managed to tick off my easy-going hubby to the extent that we paid out of pocket for out-of-plan care just to avoid the vaunted Dr. Paul. That was quite a feat...my hubby is a very patient person.
I’ve said all this before on FR, but really...he wasn’t being watched then and we saw how he really was.

Kimmie, my sympathies to your son. May he be a blessing to you and your family. I understand your plight.
