Thanks for all the input.  I think if I could do it over again, I would
either give him some general information on Prozac and/or ask him to
call me back with his wife on the line as well, so as an interested
father, with a potentially depressed wife, they could both hear the
information.

At the time, I was thinking that there doesn't seem to be an "easy"
answer for Prozac like there is for antibiotics or other drugs.  I have
alot of information about this and was thinking this is alot of
information for him to absorb and then relay to his wife, who is the one
to ultimately make the decision.

I also had three whining kids hanging off my leg which never helps.  I
could have also asked to call him back when his wife was going to be
there and I had had some time to collect my references.  I get so few
fathers calling that it caught me off gaurd.

The last time I spoke with a father (friend of my husband and language
was not an issue, but this was a good point I had not considered), every
time I asked him a question he yelled off to his wife for the answer.
It made me crazy and he wouldn't put her on the phone.  I also talked
with a father who wanted me to tell his wife to stop nursing due to her
MS.  She didn't want to stop and I really got caught in the middle.

I don't think what I did was wrong, but perhaps I could have gone about
it in a different way.
