Physicians Are People Too

Sounds like the doctor is confident in your parenting skills, that you're not likely to over-do the meds to any dangerous degree, or anything silly like that.

Agreed.

I guess I just have different expectations of healthcare professionals, but I really was trying to be reassuring not critical. Good job I'm not a health care professional, huh?

Sorry, clod.

Agreed, also. And, I replied just to say he's a real cute little feller, that one! I think one of the really hard things about being a parent would be when they don't feel well and you just want them to feel better so badly! I can tell you're a great parent, clod!

That makes the most sense to me. Assuming this Doc has met you before and the two of you have interacted somewhat. What I mean is that he/she may not give everyone the advice he/she gave you. He/she probably trusts your parenting skills more than he/she does other patients or parents. In that sense you should take it as a compliment.

My children's pediatrician is quite a character. He is an old-timer who no longer accepts patients, has had many medical articles published, and who is on the faculty of a nearby university. When my D11 was about 4-5, I took her in for a visit for an severe earache. He gave her a prescription for an antibiotic, some numbing drops and then handed me one last scrip. He solomnly told me that one was for me....so I could sleep when it knocked HER out

. He's the bestest!!
