Staff is very rude and uncaring, this includes the nurses. \r

Daughter had seizures and ceberal palsy. Her febrile seizures make her turn blue. We put her in hospital for DTAP vaccination. The Lake Mary doctor who went to check on her discharged her after about 12 hours, even though risk of fever is 48 hours for DTAP. We got home and after awhile she starting seizing VIOLENTLY. In and out of turning blue for over 1/2 hour. Fever about 103 and still cooking according to ER nurse. It was very hard for ER staff to stop this very scary seizure.\r

Fast foward a couple of months. They want her to get MMR in office. I didn't refuse, but just wanted it done in hospital again. They send me certified letter refusing to treat my daughter because she wasn't up to date on shots by the age of two. She wasn't up to date because she has seizures. This was very upsetting as she is very medically complicated, and I felt that we were being abandoned by her doctors. Way to uphold their Hippocratic oath!\r

They just do not take in consideration any mitigating factors in a child's care, this is what I mean by one-size-fits-all medicine. Just a month after that lovely letter, I did get my daughter her MMR in the hosptial, under the care of another Doctor, who himself had seen his soon turn blue from a febrile seizure.\r

The sad thing is that I do believe in vaccinations. I just wasn't doing it fast enough for their liking. Dr. Landis is a good doctor, but the office's one-size fits all policy has them discharing their most vulnerable patients (with good insurance I might add).
