Our first child was referred to an endocrinologist due to low gain in 2 month period. However it turned out the numbers were wrong in her chart. The endocrinologist laughed us out of the room. It was a nurse miscalculation that sent us there in the first place. On the other hand, I am with all of you who wrote about the focus on charts. It drives me nuts that so many docs no longer look at the "whole baby" only numbers.
