The reality is that most pediatric health professionals devote their life to helping families. These issues come up - not because families are being interrogated, but because they are asking the health professional's advice" 2 points 1) most professionals are too compassionate to say thats not a medical issue ask someone else even if they did, whose phone number would you suggest they give the family 2) when you ask a physician, nurse practitioner, or other health professions opinion that's what you get their opinion that does not make it always right and that's why there is the concept of a second opinion and a third opinion. While I do not work in general peds, I greatly appreciate professionals who take the time to work through these tough issues and are willing to then take the time to share their best advice with families. I am sure it is alot quicker and easier to avoid these issues all together. phil noe pnp ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
