Do you like/trust your child's pediatrician or your GP?

I didn't. He was very aloof, rushed, he didn't paid attention to my daughter's loss of calcium in her urine, and I knew because of my research that it could lead to kidney stones and even kidney failure.

So I really didn't like him!!

What could I do? go private?, but I wanted to stick with the public system because they are better for the complicated cases, so private was no good

I wanted to change within the public system.

I asked friends and even strangers, and I got many recommendations. I choose one in a health centre in Málaga.

The problem was that the people in the health centre administration didn't like my idea, they said I had to stick with the health centre that I was, I could change to one of the others pediatricians there.

So I tooked the print out of the regulation: http://www.juntadeandalucia.es/servicioandaluzdesalud/principal/doc...

Here it states clearly that you are entitled to change GP or pediatrician within the public system!!, I printed out the information, I went to the health centre, I presented my papers and NO problem this time!.

Now I have not just a good, but a great pediatrician. She also works in the materno infantil hospital so that's great

Remember, you can change GP or pediatrician within Andalusia take the print out of the web page with you when you request the change.

Every person within the andalusian NHS has the right ti change GP/pediatrician withing the system, it doesn't have to be the one in your healthcare system.

Take the printout of the regulation with you in case they give  you trouble. and ask for recommendations (facebook is a great place) from other people.

If necessary, change again!, what can be a good fit for one person might not necessarily be a good fit for you, you can change every 3 months. A friend of mine changed 4 times until she was happy, good for her!
