Okay, really doctors?

So, apparently a smelly belly is no laughing matter. According to the doctor, Ethan has "a defect of the bladder. When a baby grows inside the womb, the urachus will normally close. If the urachus fails to close, you need to have a surgery performed to close it. Having an abnormal opening between the bladder and the area where the umbilical cord was removed, will increase the risk for bladder infections."


The doctor figured all of this out in the 2 minutes she took to look at him. She actually left the room to take a phone call and came back telling me my child needed surgery..but first he needs a catheter to inject dye and get an ultrasound done. This was 30 minutes after she left and I had to remind the nurse we were there. The doctor forgot we were there!  Needless to say, we are going to get a second opinion tomorrow. Really doctor? You tell me my son is leaking urine from his belly; and catheter and dye injecting are your initial thoughts. Not, say,maybe a swab to see if my son has urine in his belly button?  Nothing to rule anything else out before wanting me to have such an invasive procedure done to my 10 month old?!? 

That's fine. I think you have lost your freaking mind. Better order a lobotomy to be safe!
