I feel the same way.  Isn't there some way to hold doctors accountable for
this type of malpractice.  Whatever happened to do no harm.  As for the
RID.  I don't remember which chemical is in rid but I have contacted Dr.
Hale and a breastfeeding pharmecutical service in Israel about two of the
most popular lice treatments and was told by both sources that the mother
could use it.  The fact that it doesn't work, isn't good for you.... is
besides the point. Doctors should not be able to get away with this.
