Why this mother dumped her pediatrician:

But these days, any parent with a PC can do a quick Google search to determine the exact degree to which their physicians are treating them like children. Even the most obscure medical studies are easily accessible. Forget Dr. Spock. I can peruse Danish researchers’ findings on the connection between bed wetting and the color blue or whether being exposed to Donald Trump in utero makes my daughter more likely to fail the third grade.

Is this sort of home diagnosis a good idea? No. Are Type A parents going to do it anyway? You betcha.
