Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 Hi : I have seen the same thing, and agree with you completely. Just the state of our healthcare system, I guess, as babies don't have a voice, nor political power with their vote. (As opposed to, say, our elders who belong to AAARP and have reps working on their healthcare issues). What a sorry, sorry state to be in, that our country as a whole thinks so little of children that we won't even take care of them properly. And the helmets are SOOOOO cheap. $2000 - $3000 is SO CHEAP to fix this problem, really, compared to any other healthcare issue - like psychological care for a damaged self-esteem, or, God forbid, detox for someone who " never fit in " because of teasing, etc. and turned to self-medication to ease their pain. Really, really lame. , Rhiannon's mom > What I find interesting is that if you do any research on plagio (at least on > line)...i have yet to find anything that says if left alone it will round out > itself and correct itself....or that it's ok to leave alone. > > > So how come Dr's don't agree?

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 : It is very interesting, they most likely don't type it online or give it to you in actual writing, becuz IF the child's head does not round on it's own, you would have excellent grounds for a lawsuit. That is what happened in that New Jersey lawsuit where the parents won and got a good settlement.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2002 Report Share Posted July 25, 2002 Debbie, Yea..that's true. But if they don't feel comfortable enough to have that in writing (that it will round out itself or whatever)..then they aren't too sure of what they are telling people...LOL. Oh well...hopefully more and more doctors will do some research and learn something...

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2002 Report Share Posted July 26, 2002 , You are right, it is interesting that the advice online and elsewhere doesn't comply to what so many hear in the doctor's office. I wonder if part of it has to deal with the fact, that in the confines of their own office, a doctor can just about say whatever they darn well please. But with some type of publication, there are editors, publishers, copy righters, etc. whose reputation is also on the line if bad information is given. Maybe the editor, or whomever has them err on the side of caution and promote seeking treatment rather than waiting it out? I really don't know, it is very interesting indeed.
