I don't think that physician is "ridiculous" but I do think parents, doctors and providers need to work together to find a balance.
There ARE providers out there excluding for every little thing, and I feel these are the people to whom he is speaking, not those of us who use common sense. As someone said, most of us are asking those same questions.
YES!!! You said it well. I ditto all of what you said!
