Go with your mommy gut ALWAYS! If they insist on something ask for proof. That is YOUR child. Do your homework on everything, get on the computer and research several different websites and educate yourself on everything child.
Hope she is better soon! |
I swear I think they pull all that sometimes to boost the charges. Sad but you really have to watch for needless medical stuff these days.
