| 9 | 7 | 5 | 8 | 6 | I find that this doctor is very old fashioned in his way of thinking. He is good in many aspects, and will take his time to explore all possible reasons for your sickness (asking for appropriate tests etc.) but is a little narrow-minded and pushes his personal opinions on you rather than basing his suggestions on medical facts. I found out that I am pregnant and he told me that I should stop breastfeeding my son, even though there is no medical reason that I should do this. There is much evidence that shows that someone can continue to breastfeed while they are pregnant as long as there is no medical complications with the pregnancy and that the nursing mother is getting enough nutrition to support her new baby and the nursling. When I told him that I did not want to wean and that I did not want to give my child formula he became hostile toward me and pushed his personal opinion on me. I feel that he doesn´ t respect his patients the way he should. So if your stuck in the 50´ s too, this is probably a good doctor for you. But if you want someone who is open minded and will respect you and keep his personal opinions to himself, then you should find someone else. |
