My daughter was diagnosed with a huge tumor in her chiasm...the doctor did an eye exam after and said her nerves were pink and vision perfect - he couldn't believe that the scan was from the same child as he tested. <BR/>Our daughter was diagnosed 1 day after sudden onset nystagmus (but still could see perfectly and grasp a cherrio first shot). Other children have gone to eye doctors for 2 years before diagnosis. Each day is a learning opportunity. It sounds like you are a wonderful doctor who is willing to learn.The Welch Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17346799509243608002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6623415689314087026.post-30874400672488454962008-06-04T11:50:00.000+10:002008-06-04T11:50:00.000+10:00We put too much pressure on ourselves as doctors. ...We put too much pressure on ourselves as doctors. The tumor would've grown and you would've discovered it eventually, right? Is the earlier diagnosis going to save her life? You can't really know, right? I think that much of what we consider to be "medical mistakes" are not really mistakes at all but they are simply built in to the system. When doctors practice as they are trained to practice they make wrong diagnoses sometimes. Sometimes the doctor's fault, sometimes not. <BR/>Sorry, the comment went somewhere I wasn't really intending. I enjoyed the post :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6623415689314087026.post-16484319198230662632008-06-03T00:44:00.000+10:002008-06-03T00:44:00.000+10:00Your job is heavy.Your job is heavy.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129588857193564261noreply@blogger.com
