That’s one point I wanted to make but didn’t. I don’t want a pediatrician for various reasons. But, in any case, it’s just making me mad that a hospital (or regulator) demands that I have one with the threat that they won’t release my son. Don’t you find that ridiculous?
I find it kind of odd that don't want your newborn kid to have a doctor.
What the hospital may or may not require is secondary.. there are other hospitals.
You wish to deny your new child medical services why exactly?
