One of the most awful stories in the news this week is the one about the pediatrician who allegedly waterboarded his daughter while his wife looked on. Horrific, stomach-turning, and totally inexcusable are adjectives that come to mind. It's always nauseating to hear about a child being abused -- by anybody -- but the fact that the alleged abuser was a pediatrician makes the whole thing so much worse. Typically, when we think of pediatricians, we think of people with compassion, right? We think of people who are there to keep our children well; people who will make our babies better when they're feeling sick. We think of people we can go to when we need answers to questions. Or not.Image may be NSFW.
