though it may be impossible to convince a medical doctor that he/she is wrong, you have the right to choose what medical care that your minor child receives or, in this case, does not receive. The only drawback is that if you have had a long relationship with this doctor, you run the risk of damaging this relationship. As a mother and protector of this child you have to weigh the benefits and choose wisely. Good luck!

I have received a colonoscopy within the last 6 months. There is nothing painful about it or traumatizing. If the doctor refuses to accept that your 'psychic ability' tells you the child doesn't need it, it would be senseless to try and convince him otherwise. Let the procedure go on as scheduled so the doctor can have hard evidence that nothing is wrong. If someone just walked up to you and said you had cancer, would you go in and start kemotherapy? No. You need hard evidence. Allow the doctor to do his job. You can always seek a second opinion from another doctor. Hopefully your child went in to a specialist (Gastrointestinologist) If so, he certainly knows what he's talking about.

Why the hell would a Dr. want to do this. She is your child, if your gut feeling says she doesn't need this then just don't take her, cancel the appt.
I had a gut feeling about my child's formula making her have constipation and she would cry all the time. We took her in for an MRI and everything, they found nothing. When I brought up that I was thinking of giving her the special formula (Nutramigen) they said "no, it's really expensive and it will just give her gas". I did it anyway and my child was "fixed".
I would go with your gut on this one.

Take your child to another doctor ( a child specialest ) for another openion. Colonoscopy could cause unnecessary trama to your child,if the child does not need it.

What is the reason the Dr. is saying she needs this? I would get a secong opinion if your having doubts.
