RE: interveiwing a pediatrician
I know you're quoting from the book, so this isn't directed at you but rather at the author. I think quizzing the doctor about their own or their family's BF choices is out of line.
It's weird, because doctors have to ask you about all sorts of personal stuff about your sex life and bowel movements and everything else. Perhaps that's why it's so important to have strict boundaries. I don't discuss my personal life with my patients and if someone asked me that sort of question I would deflect the discussion to more general terms. Even though I know a lot about my patient's personal lives, that's my job. There isn't a quid pro quo. Of course, patients who feel strongly that they need to know these things about me probably are going to feel more comfortable in someone else's practice. But I know my feelings on the matter are not unique to me - a lot of my doctor friends share them.
JMO. The other questions are fine.
