I just wanted to say Good Luck and please don't worry about insulting a
doctor. I think that when it comes to your health or the health of your
child, you must do everything you can, even if that includes questioning
a doctor. After all they are only human just like us. Again, I wish
you the best of luck. Let us know how it goes.
