Canada

In our case there was no observation. We didn't have a pediatrician. Yay Canadian healthcare. We went to a medical clinic with a nurse practitioner who did that and circumcisions. That would make me tend to believe it was considered a medical procedure in that province and not dental.

Regardless it's very inefficient and a good reason our healthcare systems are falling apart. There is a dental clinic in most hospitals. In large centers it's staffed like an ER. There certainly was in the hospital we were in. Having worked in EMS I had been in that clinic before.

We fed our baby through a tube for a month for no good reason at the very start of his life when he could have been feeding from his mother or a bottle. Further increasing his chances of needing more healthcare in the future. I don't know. it's frustrating that we have all the science and studies to tell us what is good and bad for us but the very providers of our healthcare don't follow that information in many circumstances.
