I took my daughter to urgent care last night....

[Guest guest]

My daughter was running a fever over the weekend. Other than her

fever she was acting fine, so I thought she was just cutting teeth.

Then Monday, I started to feel sick, and by Tuesday, I had a very

painful soar throath. So I went to the doctor and was told that I

have strep throat.

So, I took my daughter to the urgent care because she was very

irritable, and I wanted to make sure she didn't have a soar throat

as well. I've been to this urgent care before, and my dd's vaccine

status was never a problem. However, last night the urgent care

doctor was a young doctor who looked fresh out of her residency. She

never yelled or belittled me, but she brought the vaccine issue up

over and over and over. She finally came to the point to tell me to

take my dd to the ER because my dd could have 'anything' because she

wasn't vaccinated.

I am SO worried that this young doctor will call cps on me. I have a

philosophical exemption, but I don't think doctors know the law

themselves. She was appalled that I didn't vaccinate my daughter.

Just one more thing: I try to keep the fact that I don't vaccinate

my dd to myself, but whenever I listen to people talk about

vaccines, school compliance, ect....people really have never even

heard about the vaccine issue. I find it amazing how many people

haven't even heard anything concerning vaccines, especially since

the media presented so many stories in the past.

Sorry, for the long post. I feel like I am alone in wanting to keep

my daughter healthy and happy. It is so frustrating, and worrying

about cps is something us parents shouldn't have to worry about.

Thanks.
