As soon as I read the initial post I thought "appendicitis", and the only medical "expertise" I can claim comes from having 3 kids! What kind of imbecile must that initial examining MD have been? Any 12 year old knows that extreme pain on the lower right abdomen (esp with nausea, etc.) can be a sig of acute appendicitis; thank God it didn't rupture! My heart goes out to her for what she's suffered already; thankfully she's got help with the children, since she'll need to be taking things easy for awhile. GRRRRR. Infuriating. ~D
