I don't treat to order.

I am SO annoyed by parents who think they know everything.  We occasionally get parents who decide, at home, what treatment their child needs.  Since that treatment has to be provided by a doctor, they bring the kid in.  Not to have the doc evaluate the kid and recommend a treatment course.  Just to have the doc provide the treatment that the parents already decided they want.  The parents get so pissed when I insist on examining the child and offering only appropriate treatments.  Medicine has gotten so commercialized that people think they can just order whatever treatment they want.
