so Ella has been in a study since birth for a med student at uni. Anyways he has been pretty hopeless and often fill out two papers in one visit - eg a 11 month old and 13 month old one when visiting her at 12 months.....get the picture!
anyways a few months back he asked if ihad a photocopied to copy off her well child book...oh how i wish now i had just told im i would...i offered it to him to take and copy..then he went to korea for a few months and when i asked he said his parents would drop it off to me...well they didnt!!! they dropped off paperwork for us to complete - yet another non baby contact assignment for him! anyways last time we saw him i asked him for the book...he had NO memory of it and then said ooh yeah maybe he did he would look for it.... WELL he cannot find it....two months now since I asked him for it!!!! I am pretty mad - this is her well child book for goodness sake!!!! DH wants to complain to the uni study - and to complain about how badly he has studied her development etc....what should I do....it is irreplaceable of course so we wont ever get it back no matter what.....ARGH!

I would def complain to the study co-ordinator or study leader. They will take it pretty seriously, as they are dependant on people like you guys to volunteer to take part. I would write a very strongly worded email or letter so that you have a record of it too.

As a lecturer involved with clinical placements, I would definately speak to the paper leader about your concerns. Feedback about areas that could be improved is just so important for student's learning. He should definately be marked down for Practicing Professionally. You could also ask to not have him work with your family anymore, if you're feeling like the relationship won't work anymore.
Fingers crossed that her book turns up!! I'd be so upset if it were me. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

Definitely complain. I agree with Kabe about professionalism - students in my profession could face failing the placement if they did something like that.
I'd also let them know that he'd do 2 visits in one (two papers in one visit - eg a 11 month old and 13 month old one when visiting her at 12 months). A pile of Auckland Uni med students did this, or something similar a few years ago, and almost got kicked out of the program for basically cheating on the paper, by not doing what they were required to do and covering it up. ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

Me too. Do you really want to let this guy out into the world as a doctor without at least being told his behaviour is unacceptable? The supervisor and the ethics committee are good people to speak to. You never know how seriously the supervisor will take you, but the ethics committee should definitely do something about it. (when you agreed to take part, you should have got a form with contact details of the ethics committee for exactly this kind of situation).
I know its not the same, but I had a situation with a vet student last year where I was very unhappy with his actions and made sure he got dragged through the mud for it - he didn't end up failing, but I hope he learnt something from the experience. Certainly I think he realised that his bolshy overconfidence came very close to getting him sued, and cost the clinic a considerable amount in treatment they provided the help the animal recover from his "mistake". Often you may find that he's been cutting corners elsewhere as well, and whilst each offence on its own doesn't constitute unsatisfactory performance, together they are enough to draw attention to him. He might even get the hard word put on him to find the book. He may not have looked very hard at all. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I would complain also. This is completely unprofessional and the University should be aware of things like this that happen.
However... it's not all "bloody students"! Most research students I have dealt with (including myself!!) have been extraordinarily professional and courteous... unfortunately I think you've got unlucky with a bad one here. But I still think it's important that the University knows about this particular person - they would not be impressed either. |

That's really annoying! If it remains lost, you will be able to get copies of most of the details to make up a new book from Plunket (or whoever you went through) and the copy of the imm's cert is probably at her DC. Certainly the details will be with your GP. -------------  |

well i wrote an email to the lady i had dealt with...ella was weeks old....and it bounced back...so left a message on her extension for someone to call me....ugh who knows who is in charge now....
anyone involved with auckland uni med know??? the lady i was dealing with was Sheree.... actually i remembered that for some of his months development studies he was away OE so he asked for his parents to drop in papers for me to complete...kinda defeats the purpose of a developmental and observation study of a child really.... Im actually sad at losing the initial notes - you know the midwife post natal ones etc = they cant be replaced....and her awesome wee growth chart....I kinda wish I had photocopied now.....

I think complaining is a good idea, but why would you hand over something so important to a stranger? I also have to say that I think some of the responsibility lies with you, you should have made him wait until you'd photocopied it.

well comments like that arent particularly helpful!!! He is a med student, lives 4 streets away and told me he would bring it back later that week...and we had no photocopier at that point....if id known he would lose it i wouldnt have given it to him but who was to know that....Im actually annoyed that after he said he would be photocopying when i asked him the other nite he told me he just copied some notes into his book....so i dont even have his photocopies.... I have received a call from the school of med, forwarded on the email and the paed person is going to get back to me once they have looked into it....im happy enough with that. Heck i was a student for two degrees and am all for med research so will continue to do these things but some people like him mess it up for others! |

From my experience being a student I doubt he has thrown it away. I'm sure its in his bedroom somewhere under a whole load of text books! Well, I really hope for you that thats the case! I would have trusted him too, 18 mths is a long enough time esp for a research assignment and I remember when one of my girlfriends was at med school and she had a baby she studied/followed, it was taken very seriously. I'm glad you have contacted the med school. He needs to learn very quickly how importnt things like this are to people or he will get a rude awakening when he actually starts working and has to deal with the public.

I hope the student finds your book BS. You've done all the right things, going to the med dept etc. Since they live close by maybe you could go hound them every couple of days!!. He's very irresponsible in his research. We all need people who are wiling to volunteer in research, I'm currently doing a maternal research project, and with others out who take little responsibility in their work and the resources they're using, it makes it hard for those who are truely passionate in their project to find people trusting enough to allow us into their lives. But yes typical boy...and typical med student, it's probably lying in his bedroom under tons of paper. Good luck.....and since when was trusting someone with a possession, taking their word that they would return that possession.....been classified as being someone's fault. It's called...showing trust. Something that we all should be able to do with anyone. -------------

Oh no BS, I hope you get that book back. I would be gutted if I lost Sam's. I agree that he probably hasn't lost it, but it is somewhere in the cluttered room of his and he can't be bothered looking for it.
I have fingers and toes crossed that someone gives him a big kick up the butt and he finds it. I have to add - Good grief ladies! I have just stumbled across this thread and cannot believe what I am reading!!! When did OB get back to this type of rubbish again!
I must say I am throughly disappointed as I go with the old saying of 'If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything'! If I don't have anything useful to add to a thread then I don't bother posting. There is no need to turn it into a slinging match!

I only came in again now to see why on earth this thread had managed to get to 4 pages... thanks for the interesting reading girls.
Finally I just want to say I am thoroughly sick of people proclaiming that this isn't the "old OB" and threatening to leave. If you don't like it then go, noone's stopping you!
If you choose to stay and post on a public forum please be aware that some people have different opinions than you, some people are happy to provide thier honest opinions without any sugar coating. -------------

i have the new cadbury liquer chocs yum yum nearly all gone tho.
but i must say i read this yesterday and thought pretty much the same as mel did, and i know mel and theres no way she would be attacking you, fair enough that your upset about the book but you handed the book over so unfortunatly it is partially your fault too, he didnt force you to give it to him. yes it really really does suck that he may have lost it, and id be upset too like you are, but hes not the only one to blame . ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  DD 10.5yrs DS 6yrs DS 11mths 5 little angles watching from above |

Jo - I was one of the ppl who said that its not the same OB...and that is the truth with our sugar coating!! LOL...But I didnt say that I would leave as I know that would be a lie!! I am a addict.
I love opinions and yes every one here has the right to state it here...what I dont agree with is that it has to be done in a nasty way. Some one said that they didnt find some comments nasty...well all I have to say is that may be in my life I wasnt exposed to enough nastiness...that a little thing like this makes me feel that it is. I am glad that I wasnt exposed to nastiness then as I couldnt handle it!! Its all good tho.... I can ignore this kind of threads...as they are plenty more nicer conversations happening on here. NOW back to the chocolates....should I PM you my address Kelly? are you posting or are you gonna deliver.... ------------- http://lilypie.com">

FFS "Ladies"... leave it be.
my 2 cents. To be fair, if YOU were part of a study of some kind, you probably would let the student have/borrow/look at stuff like well child book etc without much of a second thought. After all, they are bound to you for a certain time, they are attatched to a medical school for goodness sakes, so you would kind of assume they had some kind of sense of responsibility, plus they become part of your "family" for the year - although this one's timekeeping is not that great, but you get my drift. It's not like BS gave it to some random, she gave it to someone she trusted would look after it and give it back. If you were in a similar postion, you probably would too, rihgt? (and I know you are all going to say no cos you've all got your gloves off, so step back from the ring a bit and think about it!) Oh and Im not taking sides here or joining gangs or what ever, I'm just pointing out another spin? But if ther is chocolate, and I'm not joining any gangs for it, but I will have white Lindt Lindors thanks. ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

Annie, i will give you the chocolate , but rather begrudgingly , i dont like white chocolate myself, and think its rather sinful to eat it ...but i suppose, we all have our flaws

Firstly to talk about OP in a somber manner.
What a bummer, I wouldn't give my Well Child up for no one, they would have to use a hot poker and threaten to take my eyes! In that scenario I would recommend to get on to the student and tell him that you are coming over to stand over him while he looks, and if he doesn't find it then you're making a written complaint. If you have no luck, you can apply to Plunket for a new one and ask for the MW and Plunket records to fill in the slots (assuming you did Plunket of course) and then you might have half back of your initial book. Secondly.. FARK I nearly wee'd when I was having my laughing fit at Mel being "mean". Give me a break! You want to see mean? I am sure that something 20x nastier would have been first post on TMMB! Or any of the other big boards will rip you a new girder. I concur with the others, if you post then post and know that everyone is going to read and you are going to get feed back you want to read and others you don't. JEEPERS mean....  for gawds sake!
"Mel the meany" that is the funniest thing I have heard in ages! Go Mel, you bad arse  ------------- DD1 May 2006 DD2 March 2011 DD3 August 2012 |

Peace - Yah I agree that there are other meaner sites out there...and for ages we all agreed that that's why OHB is soooo popular cause its not like other sites and that we are actually nicer to each other......I for one dont want to see that change!
I cant speak for others...but I kinda feel sad when things like this happen. Why cant we Just get along?? Mary Poppins (Kelly) - do you have any "GET ALONG" meds in that big bag of yours?? LOL ------------- http://lilypie.com">

For the most part people on here do get on well and this site is friendly. It's only the odd ocassion I see a personality clash or someone taking offence to something said. It's pretty rare really. And what does one expect when you have hundreds of women (mostly) voicing their opinions. I actually am surprised it doesn't happen more often. But its great that it doesn't.
Maybe just move on from this and be happy! This site is awesome!

This site is awesome, for sure. And yes, for the most part we all do get along pretty well.
But in my opinion there is nothing wrong with saying that someone did something that was a bit silly. Like someone pointed out, we are all human, and we all make mistakes. I think its really unfair that .Mel was slated for saying so. If you post on here, you do so for others to comment or offer advice. I've been got at a few times for voicing my opinions, and it hurts for sure. But I put myself out there, and would have been surprised if others didn't comment. A bit of debate, or disagreement is healthy. I'm pretty sure this would be a far less interesting site if we all played nicey nicey all the time. |

Ok I have had a read of old posts and this one I found from Bombshell really made me angry - as this is what this is all about!
Quoted from Bombshell "I do think some people are making inappropriate comments on this website and need to carefully think about the comments they are making expecially when they dont like the responses.... this is not aimed at anobody but at ** for her comments....!" "* your comments on here show you have so much to learn - and if you dont want people to respond to you the way they do then dont write about your life on here." And that is only a couple of the comments I saw! Also wanted to add - sorry that they have lost the book and I do hope they find it. |

OMG give her a break. There are lots of threads recently where people have used pseudonyms and no-one's called them up on not using their real screen names.
Steph I may be wrong but I believe those quotes came from the kindy thread after BS accused Emma of being too harsh on Maya and making her parent the gremlins.
Now, if people would just stop posting this thread would die a natural death. Which is obviously what BS wants since she's not posted for several pages. -------------

Woah what a crazy thread!
Ive just done a search and its not hard to see there is some strong conflicts that have happened over the time on here and WAY worse stuff said than whats been said on this thread! Agree with Mrs Mojo who really cares what name they used, fair enough too they obviously didnt want to get envolved in it all but pointed out some facts they thought we should know! Was interesting reading anyway! I find this site great and yep of course there is conflict but as someone said what online forum is there that you DONT get conflict? As someone said its a lot nicer than TMMB - man they are HARSH on there arent they! Peace love and harmony!
Maybe one of the admin team could lock this thread? ------------- TTC 6 years IVF it is IVF/ICSI round one 10 eggs, 8 mature, 3 fertilised BFN IVF/ICSI #2 = 22 eggs! 20 mature, 15 fertilised, 1 fresh transfer and 2 frosties BFN 2 Frosties still in freezer thank god |
