[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly, I cant imagine any actual abused child just opening up to the pediatrician like magic during a visit in which the parent just steps outside the room. Nor can I imagine a teen opening up to the pediatrician on command about their own drug and alcohol use. Is there any evidence backing up this screening process? Im 52. I think I saw the pediatrician alone as a teen at some point but it wasn't due to being requested to do so. My dad had always been the one to bring me to the doc, and the doctor was male, his wife was the nurse. I never felt uncomfortable with him, but I never would have told him I was smoking weed either.[/quote] Yes, there is both anecdote (clinical experience) and research data. I will go dig it up, if it will make a difference in your perspective. Do you want me to do that?[/quote]
