[QUOTE="donna723, post: 88074, member: 1883"] Something else that would bother me, besides all the other issues ... This doctor in the school clinic would have no access to the child's medical records from their family physician, if they had one. What if they had some pre-existing condition or were on some other type of medication that would make it inadvisable for them to be on the pill. How would they know? Sounds kind of dangerous to me. And if it were "confidential", then the family physician would also be unaware that the child was taking birth control pills?!?!? And when the child was in for their "confidential" appointment - what kind of a medical history would they be able to get before they prescribed these medications? Would they be relying on an eleven year old to give a reliable version of their own medical history?? How scary is that! And if the girls were on the pill, would the boys still be using the condoms? Yeah, right! [/QUOTE]
