Like you and I, we spent years learning about child development and what's supposed to happen when and how it's supposed to happen.

You know, but in this age of managed care, people tend to get, you know, maybe 10 minutes with a physician, and the physician is...

You know, I love pediatricians so much.

I don't know how they're not all just burned-out alcoholics because they have so much to do in that 10-minute appointment.
