Boy, this happens more often than we think. Doctors are only human,

know our kids the best and things are not always as per the manuals.

We ARE their voice, and if we feel in our gut that what is being

diagnosed or administered to our child is wrong, we need to speak up,

or (if necessary) move on to another doctor. Don't think they're

smarter than us; in fact oftentimes they are so busy thinking that

they can't see the simple solution

These words should be engraved on a plaque & displayed in everyone's home!!!
