doctor suggested we go out into the waiting room and he'd observe her. She calmed down and he then said there was no need to hospitalize her (she had a bad stomach bug or something, don't remember) because she was obviously hydrated because of her tears and she oriented herself once away from him. I thanked him for listening to my concerns and he said, "I always listen to a mother or father - they know their child best." He then related a story of when he was a resident and doctors weren't listening to the parent and thought she was making things up. Turned out the child had a brain tumor.

Dr. Anger, University of Chicago Pediatrics in Munster, Indiana. One of the good ones.
