Mark, it brought a tear to my eye reading it. As a dad, i know exactly where you are coming from.
When my new baby boy was born, just on the 19th december, we had a few doctors telling us stuff about his hips n all this technical stuff. They also wanted to put my brand new baby in plaster and all this stuff. I said WTF.
it made me feel as bad as u could ever feel. I felt they were making a big deal outta nothing but they kept saying otherwise.
finally, i rang my mum who is 65 yrs old. she came down and had a look and said "the doctors are full of crap". i went with my mum.
I have since taken little Hunter to another doc who says all is fine. But these doctors have a way sometimes of turning ya world inside out.
Glad your daughter is ok. Excellent.
