They want this doctor to be krystal's doctor again!! It's not going to happen. I know this doctor. Way back when I was looking for a psychiatrist to talk to about my childhood, I went to see him and the first thing he did was pull out his prescription pad and give me some anti-depressants. I wasn't even depressed!! I just needed to talk about things is all. I refused his prescription and left the office and went to see someone else....someone who I might add never wanted to give me any meds cause i didn't need them. so, this doctor is not going to talk to my kid again! I'll make sure of that!

It's a huge problem here in canada also with the meds. teachers think that every kid that can't sit still need to be on redillin. it's sickening! One thing they can't do is overide a parent's desision. Teachers can't make diagnosis either, they can only suggest it to the parent and then the parent takes the child to a specialist. That'll be the day a teacher overides my rights!
