Lisa,
That's awful about what that DR. said, but i've heard some pretty stupid
things myself. I just try to remember that doctors are people too and they
can be just as ignorant and judgemental as the average joe. I think we
(general society) are subject to viewing medical practitioners with awe and
viewing them as deities. The problem is that many of them have the same view
of themselves as we do. Maybe it is our job to try to inform those that need
informing, i think that many of the Docs want to learn more, they just have
too much on their plates to dedicate to this one little(ha ha) problem.
whatcha think?
