In my view, if the doctors thought it was a life threatning situation, she should have put aside her fears and bring him in.
Still, the fact that someone from the medical community can call the police and next thing you know you and your family are treated like El Chappo, is a mighty disturbing thing.
As an aside, this is the type of thing that the so-called ‘Red Flag’ laws will result in.
You have perfectly encapsulated my views.
Yes, even more disturbing than last night's thread about this incident, where the SWAT factor was lost in the cyclone. There are laws protecting people who opt out of vaccinations, aren't there? Now, apparently, we need laws protecting people opting out of late night military intrusions and child seizing.
It’s because of all the disease that is coming across the border. Measles and mumps are one thing but there is all kinds of other stuff as well. Everyone (except congress) is worried about contagious diseases coming in.
In my view if the fever breaks then the doctor is (as was the case here) totally wrong.
Kids get high fevers fast and they can pass just as fast. The child that you were sure was at death's door is whining at you on the ride to the ER because you passed a McDonald's and did not stop for ice cream. They are SOOOOO hungry.
In the end you have spent hours at the ER, paid out enough money that you had to dip into savings and the doctor told you to go home and give her a baby aspirin.
