    I love a good Paed!! They can make all the difference in the world to your little one's

    I hope you get some answers for boytwin, very soon,

    DD1 has two, one at the WCH and the other is a Private Paed, who is also DD2's Paed. He is brilliant, a little old school, but brilliant

    That's awesome news Trav. I think your sigh of relief is so big that it's causing a beautiful breeze up here that is drying my clothes.

    Thanks everyone

    I have seen the notes that the GP is faxing over and it is the complete set of notes, including reports from his Scottish paediatrician, so hopefully she will have all she needs when I see her in a fortnight. I actually feel really drained now, it's just so good that someone listened to me and took my concerns seriously. I really thought all his health issues were over when he was 15 months but since arriving in Australia they have all reared up again and I am just over fighting to get him the help he needs. I really think this doc is going to support me supporting him.

    my old GP charged everyone I think, I seem to remember vaccinations being the only free appointments. Hence why we didn't go back to him when we came back with 4 kids. It's good to know most bulk bill though, will make finding a new one a bit easier.

    I guess that is one of the biggest drawbacks of moving around so much, I have only ever had a GP for a few years max. Would be great to find a good one I could stick with.
