I completely agree with your view on GARDASIL.  My daughter is 12 and I refuse to get her the shot until it is prove that the long term benifits out weigh the hazards.  I choose to enforce the importance of absinence, slef respect, and safe sex.  I tell her you have 3 choices: 1) don't have sex, save it for marriage, 2) practice safe sex, or 3) suffer the consequences and don't say you were not informed!  I provide her with information on the statistics of STD's and the risks, so she is well informed and I can only hope she makes responsible decisions.

This is a comment for the fellow who was in a clinic with the MD who told a young man it was the girl's responsibility......clearly that doctor was not only negligent in his duties, but also sexist and prejudiced. I would report his comments and behavior to whoever is the administrative director of the clinic and also inform them that you plan to followl-up with a letter to the Medical Board of that state explaining about that doctor's comments. I think when we encounter health practitioners who are negligent and who clearly add to the complexity of any health problem rather than doing what they can to relieve the problem and educate the population, then they need to be counseled or put on probation. Unfortunately it is often difficult to get such interventions, disciplinary action and counseling with doctors. But I think perhaps now more than before, the medical boards and administrators are more open to that. As health consumers we have the right to expect respect from our health practitioners and to expect support, advocacy and education. If we feel we are not getting these needs met, we have the right to complain. When no one complains, then nothing is done and the same problems and behaviors with such doctors persist.

As I nurse, I do come in contact with doctors who are not good educators and are lacking in some basic social skills in dealing with patients, but fortunately, they are in the minority. More and more doctors now are being trained in how to communicate with patients and families and in the importance of patient education. This doctor clearly was very biased and prejudiced and needs disciplinary action.
