Like I said, agreed. However, I have seen several very young special
needs kids who become physically ill at the mention of the doctor's
name. Having one die from fright is not a big stgretch for me.

Must have died from fright.

I understand your point. However, do not minimize the fear that some
special needs children develop when it comes to seeing doctors. My
younger son was fully knowledgeable about doctors' offices, etc. way
before age 2.
