The paediatrician is said to have refused to get off the child, saying:
“I’ll get off you after you stop throwing a temper tantrum.”
why would a mother stand by and take photos, if I was there the doctor would have been removed by ambulance

We as parents trust the medical experts to do what is right.....the mother did act once she got her haed around what was happening?

If she was a young mother that is posible.
As I have seen and experenced more things during my life the blind faith I once placed in many profesionals at a younger age has now gone and question more and more.

I felt sick when I read this. Az, how did you come across this?
I have met and worked with all breeds of doctors, and would be the first to say that they are not gods as most believe, some are horrible, but paediatricians IMO are a cut above the rest. Some of the (paeds) I wave worked with are arrogant, most are wonderful, but I cannot imagine any of them behaving in this way, Perhaps at the beginning of the 20th century this might have occurred because of lack of knowledge, but this in incredible. I hope he is thrown out on his bottom.
