You start going to your family doctor with your child.\n\nOr go to see a paediatrician when referred by your doctor..

I think{as a nurse} the doctors answer was correct. I can also understand your worry of course. Had your partner no signs and symptoms before getting ill at 23? That is unusual. It is likely that the children won't get screened unless one of them develops difficulty breathing, or becomes cyanotic{fingers ,lips,nose go purple/blue colour}. Then they will agree to immediate screening for all the kids but I think it will be hard to get done otherwise. Can you ask even your Gp to refer them to a cardiologist privately to rule out any signs of disease. I think that is your only option-going private. Remember however, if they get screened and all is well, that is no guarantee that it will stay that way throughout their lives. They may need screening every few years to make sure. Best of luck. I hope something works out and someone can reassure you.If they are healthy and can be very active without any difficulty, they are bound to be in good shape.Good luck and hope your partner is doing better now.

Please make an urgent Doctor's appointment NOW.  Alternatively go to an NHS Walk in centre NOW.  You really should not be waiting. \n\nEDIT\n\n(Why don't you ring and ask your midwife about this? - She will have been visiting for the first two weeks and can visit for up to 28 days.)

You don't even need to deal with that stress. Just go to www.healthgrades.com and take it from there. You can tell your story or find reports on your doctor from other peeved patients.\nYour voice will be heard, you'll feel better and anyone that looks\nhim up will be forwarned, thanks to you. If a doctor is not practicing\nevidence based medicine, and in your childs' case that would have\nmeant testing a long time ago, they're negligent.Period.

Well technically if she does not have doctors note or something pre written so that school office is aware of what she has. There is really not much you can do.

Make sure you're feeding him a healthy diet for one.  That's all you can do. Also remember to have doctor check ups.  It's not a horrible thing if your child is underweight.  I've been underweight my entire life and I'm healthy.  Talk to your doctor if your very concerned to make sure it's nothing however.  Keep them active and off the couch and they should grow up to normal.

Your family doctor should be working with you on this concern. Call schools in your area, maybe they may know.\nChanging doctors may be the first step needed. If your childs doctor is not concerned enough about your child, he is not worthy of your child. Call hospitals, some have referral services. Look in yellow pages under social workers, there are many that will help you.\nPlease be patient with your child and give him hugs and kisses. The child needs your support.

Please, follow the doc's advice. Keep regular follow up appointments and do not try at home procedures. You must trust the doctor and follow his/her advice. If you do not believe the doctor is doing all possible or doubt the treatment, seek a second licensed physician. Your daughters health and well being is worth more than receiving hazardous advice from public sources. I am a RN and would not consider giving advice for at home procedures...Let alone those who are unlicensed. Seek a podiatrist.

Look in the phone book, call your insurance company, or ask your pediatrician for a referral.  Go to your county health department and they have some on staff that are free or on a sliding scale payment.
