Doctor: "We don't think this treatment is the right approach for your child's needs."

Doctor: "I understand your position. However, I'm concerned about the potential side effects and the long-term implications of this course of treatment."

Me: "I understand your concerns. I too have considered the potential side effects and long-term implications of this treatment, and I believe that the benefits outweigh the risks. I'm confident that this is the best option for my child's needs."

Doctor: "I understand, but I'm still not convinced that this is the best approach."

Me: "I understand your position, and I respect your opinion. However, I'm confident that this is the right approach for my child's needs. I've done a lot of research, and I'm confident that this is the best option for my child."
