DH> A losing battle. When our daughter was born in 1986, the pediatrician of   
   DH> record told us to put her in a home and forget about her. I fired him   
   DH> that night.   
      
   For people that are supposed to be well educated, they are certainly out of   
   touch in those areas.     
      
   Our first experience was before our son was even born.  The doctor said that   
   based on the echo, he told us he had a severe heart defect, and only a 5% of   
   being functional.     
      
   He was wrong on all counts.  He was born with no heart defects at all and is   
   very functional!  Other than bowel related issues (which can be fixed with an   
   operation), he is like any other child.  His speach is delayed, but he picks   
   up more and more all the time.    
      
   The medical professionals need to get up to date on facts and stop living in   
   their own world..
