Here doc, how about a nice Coach leather Rx pad with a gold embossed logo and your initials?? Pharma accounts were the Holy Grail of premiums. I'm not saying MY peds are on the take, but I noticed that Dr. B's sports car looks an awful lot like a little purple pill... ;) I think most docs are quite honest and do NOT accept goodies beyond chotchkes and lunch. This dude at Harvard? A greedy pig.Kim Rossi Staglianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687828526726281119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35048242.post-67912811777618117302008-06-12T10:58:00.000-04:002008-06-12T10:58:00.000-04:00I'd be interested to see some disclosure on what s...I'd be interested to see some disclosure on what some of these "Salesmen" get for speaking at conferences and such. If they get paid, and it is sponsored by a drug company, how is their research independent. They should disclose these relationships right on their prescription forms.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35048242.post-7224705533684645022008-06-10T14:20:00.000-04:002008-06-10T14:20:00.000-04:00Why are so many parents afraid to question what th...Why are so many parents afraid to question what their doctors tell them? I query every last detail with the result that our paediatrician now gives us copies of the info she gets as a professional and discusses studies and breaking issues with us at length. She is also open to all kinds of interventions and her first thoughts on a behaviour change in daughter no.2 was what was she eating, not how much ritalin should I prescribe.<BR/><BR/>I count her as one of my blessings.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09594327337549020199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35048242.post-50445393385904745152008-06-10T13:46:00.000-04:002008-06-10T13:46:00.000-04:00OOPS, wrong post.

Remember som...Anon, are you a born again Christian? Remember some of the hideous things the leaders of the religious right have said? About AIDS, about 9/11, about Katrina victims. How many people became "unborn" after that? I'm Catholic. I believe the current Pope was in the Nazi party as a boy - as was the norm for German boys in the 1940's. Did I leave the Catholic Church? I've sat in the front pew at my Church fuming over what a priest is saying. One day a young priest talked for 25 minutes about celibacy and virginity and that if people lived together before marriage they should abstain for sex for two year - to what, regrow your hymen? All Churches are peopled by humans with faults. Some more egregious than others, I'll agree. If I were a black woman and had be stomped on and discriminated against all my life the Reverand Wright might have struck a chord within me. It's like when we autism Moms get together and bitch and moan about crapisodes, lack of sleep, IEP's and can get really down and dirty about it. We speak to our own choirs. That Obama didn't leave tells me not so much that he agreed, but that he was able to find the portion that spoke to him, process it and leave the rest behind. Does anyone agree 100% with their leaders in anything? My two cents. Thanks for the thoughts. I do find it intersting the dissenters refuse to use their names. Have the courage of your conviction. We can debate and discuss here. I won't throw any barbs. Probably. ;)Kim Rossi Staglianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17687828526726281119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35048242.post-80935557605544701742008-06-10T13:22:00.000-04:002008-06-10T13:22:00.000-04:00" I respect their medical decisions for their own ..." I respect their medical decisions for their own children. I do think a parent should look into every non-drug option before starting on these drugs," <BR/><BR/>Amen, sister Kim AMEN!!!!<BR/><BR/>I have been speaking that advice for 5 years, since we started using bio-medical on our soon to be 11 year old son. <BR/><BR/>I have seen first hand the dazed, glassy or bouncing-off-the-walls effects of drug cartel products. I have seen enough to know that western medicine is at the VERY BOTTOM of the "options list".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
