In California Never Leave a Minor Alone with an MD

The Autism Action Network is advising all parents in California to never leave children unsupervised in the presence of a physician, physician's assistant, nurse, nurse practitioner or other medical personal permitted to administer vaccines. (Click the AAN link above to FB and Tweet this alert.)

In the wake of Governor Jerry Brown signing Assembly Bill 499, healthcare workers can give minors vaccines for sexually-transmitted diseases, including shots for HPV and hepatitis b, without a parent's knowledge or consent. And California's medical industry isn't wasting any time in taking advantage of this expansion of the increasing lucrative vaccine business.

A shocking report has come out this week of an 11-year old boy in San Diego was given an HPV shot during an visit to the office of Sandra Perez, MD, in National City without apparently getting either permission of the child or the child's guardian.

Even under the new law an eleven year-old is too young to receive the HPV, which may constitute medical battery under California Law. And the boy's family has filed a complaint with the California Medical Board.

Relationships between many parents and physicians are already under stress. If HMO and insurance company policies, too cozy relationships with drug sales people, and indifference to information that questions medical orthodoxy weren't already straining relationships between parents and healthcare workers, now we have to worry about them actively trying to interfere with our management of our children's healthcare and keeping knowledge of their actions from us. But the obvious conclusion, unfortunately, from these developments in California is simply to never let your child out of your sight while in a doctor's office.
