As a special needs practicioner of dentistry and medicine for more than 35 years, the health and safety of my patients has always been paramount. I personally have been schooled, trained and have worked with many different special needs organizations and when it comes to medical information, it is ESSENTIAL to rely on trusted medical sources ie. licensed physicians, recognized medical associations and peer reviewed medical research.
WHO NOT TO RELY ON FOR PERSONALIZED MEDICAL CARE/INFORMATION:
-Political offices (including the White House or other gov't aadministrations
-Social media, news outlets or any other non-medical influencers.
To specifically address any reports, suggestions or comments coming out of the White House, I have worked with many special needs and non-special needs organiztions and have prescribed acetaminphen to pregnant patients experiencing pain/discomfort and will say and paraphrase from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists A.C.O.G. ......"for more than two decades of research on the use of acetaminophen in pregnancy, not a single reputable study has successfully concluded that the use of acetaminophennin any trimester of pregnancy causes neurodevelopmental disorders in children."
