[blparent] pediatricians

[Veronica Smith]

I don't believe that.  That particular dr said, he thought it was easier for 
him.  He also said he didn't care if I was in the room or not.  Well, the 
pediatrician I chose always had Gab sit in my lap and I believe that is why 
she and I are so close now. V
