Health,

Would you go into a bakery and tell the Baker – that you have a better recipe than his Challah & they should change to yours’?

No that’s an unrealistic analogy. I wouldn’t give a bakery my wife’s recipe, but I might sell it to them. At a restaurant, however, I very well would ask for sauce on the side, substitute this side for that, and decline the free sodas that comes with my kids’ meals.

So how come the Anti -vaxxers think that they have the right to tell medical professionals what to do?!?

Wow, what a mindset. If I tell my doctor that I want to space out vaccinations, I am not overstepping any boundary whatsoever. I’m not telling the doctor what to do, the doctor is telling me what he thinks I should do, and I am responding to him. I am making decisions about my own family. And that is not only my right, it is my obligation.

How far do you take this deification of medical professionals? If I see a doctor about to make a medical mistake (wrong medication, about to saw off the wrong arm, whatever), do you think I should remain quiet, because I have no right to tell medical professionals what to do?!? Ridiculous.

If you don’t like what your doctor is doing – go somewhere else!

Good advice.
