kids embarassing illnesses...just feels a bit cruel..

[justgaveup]

ok, not sure if this is just my feeling cos i've got real hang ups about embarassing health issues.

I do think this is a great programme and very informative. However, the parents who take their kids on with embarassing illnesses?? I can't help but think those poor kids, not only are they in pain and getting teased at school but now their parents are putting them on tele so everyone in world can know about their problem. I feel so sorry for these kids when they go back to school.

I just can't imagine putting my child through that.

Silly programme. What's actually embarrassing about a dislocated hip in a ten month old??

dont really get your problem justgaveup ?
surely they are just getting expert helpa dn showing other people how to go about getting help for their kids.
my niece has a hip problem and so it was interesting to me to see what the surgery was like.

I'm with you justgaveup. I saw a bit of one recently and the poor kid had anal fissures. I'm sure he was thrilled to go back to school the day after that one aired.

candy fluff, the hip one was really interesting and to be honest I do think it's a good programme that does give good medical advice, it's just I was imagining the kids with the anal fissures or the other week the kid with the bowel problems and the nits etc etc...like zebra says, feel so sorry for them going into school the next day!
