Winnie: Hang in there. At least you are in a position to be counting the days to retirement. Unfortunately, I like many of us have no choice and will probably work until the day we die (hopefully, later rather than sooner). One thing my recent health issues have taught me - I cannot save the world, so it's not worth risking my health thru avoidable stress, by obsessing about these things. People have to take responsibilty for their own lives. All we can do is educate them. What they choose to do with the information is their business. I find that with this "new" outlook on life - I experience a lot less stressing about what my patients are doing. Laurie: Is this particular pediatrician aware that what he is doing is medical malpractice? In your shoes, I would be concerned that the legal liability of having to follow his orders is placing me in a less than desirable legal situation concerning my own practice. But again, it is the parents' responsibility to speak up regarding their baby's care. Unfortunately, because so few of them have bothered to educate themselves sufficiently, they are uncomfortable asking questions or making decisions about their baby's health care. Good luck to us all!
