OK, I love our Family Practitioner (Nurse Practitioner)

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
We go to a private, federally-funded family practice in rural Alaska. They have a rotating staff of physicians who come out from the bigger cities. I think I've finally settled on "our provider." She's pro-extended breastfeeding, didn't lecture me to give him cow's milk, commented on how good it was that we've still got him in soft-soled shoes, and...

Her: "Oh, he's not circumcised."
Me: "Yeah." *prepares for something*
Her: "Don't retract it. Don't pull this back. Don't let anyone else pull it back, even if they're a doctor. It probably won't retract for years and that's normal."
Me: "Yeah."

Now, maybe I shouldn't like that she assumed I didn't know all that (DS is 19 months old ), but .

Except I can't remember he name . I'll have to look on the bill so I know who to ask for .
