This is why my doctor was afraid to face me after my newborn daughter was diagnosed with T21.
I yelled at him allright. I said, "Doctor, you delivered a perfectly healthy baby, who scored a 9.9 APGAR, and you feel guilty? Who do you think you are, God? HE sent us the child with Down syndrome, you had NOTHING to do with it. I refused pre-natal testing and knew that this was a possibility, so, the way I see it, it was a matter between me and God. You had no say in the matter."
The good doctor was vastly relieved!
