MY 1 YR OLD SON WAS REFERED TO DR. TEMPLETON DUE TO HIS REOCCURING EAR INFECTIONS. WE ARRIVE AT HIS OFFICE THE WAIT WASNT TO LONG , WE WERE CALLED BACK AND ASKED ABOUT OUR REASON FOR COMING ""HE ALREADY SHOULD HAVE READ HIS CHART"" WE THEN TRIED TO EXPLAIN OUR REASON AND THE 8 DIFFERENT TIMES OUR SON HAD HAD THESE INFECTIONS AND THEN THE DOCTOR DECIDED THAT WE THE PARENTS WERE DEAD SET ON TUBES FOR HIS EARS IF HE NEEDED THEM OR NOT WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE AT ALL! WE THEN HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER EXAMING ROOM HE HAD US AND A NURSE HOLD MY SON DOWN TO LOOK IN HIS EARS "" NEVER GIVES TROUBLE AT OUR LOCAL DOCTOR NO NEED TO BE HELD"" THE RESULT NO EAR INFECTION AT THIS TIME SO NO TREATMENT NEEDED. OK LISTEN HE OBVIOUSLY NEEDS SOMETHING BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH 8 INFECTIONS IN THE PAST 5 MONTHS EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE HAD 2 PRIOR OPINIONS THAT SAY HE NEEDS TUBES BUT THIS DOCTOR SAYS HE DOESNT HAVE AN INFECTION TODAY SO THEREFORE NO TREATMENT OR TUBES SHOULD BE DONE BUT WHAT ABOUT THE 8 OTHER INFECTIONS HE HAS HAD DOESNT THAT MEAN HE NEEDS SOMETHING TO HELP PREVENT NUMBER 9 INFECTION BUT THIS DOCTOR CANT LET US THE PARENTS EXPLAIN ANYTHING. I KNOW HE IS THE DOCTOR BUT WE AS HIS PARENTS KNOW JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHATS HURTS OUR CHILD BUT HE IS TO KNOW IT ALL TO LISTEN HE OBVIOUSLY COULD CARE LESS IF OUR CHILD WAS TREATED PROPERLY OR NOT
