I Am Christian

I am not a Christian, but spiritual. When my baby was born, he had some health problems. I brought him to this doctor, that was very religious. The visits were horrible. He used his personal religious beliefs, in caring for my baby. The doctor didn’t even bother to listen to my feelings. He brushed everything off and ignored me. Everything him telling me what to do and what God would’ve wanted. Even when I explained serious medical stuff, his response was “pray about it”. His beliefs were not mine and it really upset me that this doctor would force his beliefs down my throat, and use my baby’s health to do it. Well I stopped seeing him. After two visits. If I had known he would be that way, I never would’ve taken my baby to see him. It would’ve been just one visit instead of two, but was finding another doctor in the meantime.

Mind you, I don’t care about what someone believes or don’t believe, as long as they don’t force it on me or my kids. Plus I don’t need anybody to tell me what my beliefs need to be, when it’s between me and God. He could’ve really done more harm than good, if I had continued seeing him. Just glad I got out in time.

That's horrible, I hate seeing stories of parents praying for sick kids instead of taking them to doctors, the kids end up dying because parents didn't do anything. It's terrifying to hear that doctors are acting like this, he should be fired.

@EllieTheKittyKat I agree. I think somewhere it is written where that goes against patients rights.
@NaturalBeautyQueen it must be, a hospital is no place for religion.

@EllieTheKittyKat it’s not. Especially when you ask to keep that separate. If he can’t keep his beliefs separate from his practice, when asked by the patient, then he don’t need to be a doctor.
