A parent (speaker) recounts repeatedly rejecting medical specialists' recommendations — including an early feeding-tube episode — because clinicians offered surgery or invasive interventions without acceptable alternatives. The speaker frames this as a pattern of proposed procedures they felt were unnecessary and a lack of presented options.

After a while, I was like, I'm not letting you hack up my daughter. One instance, going all the way back to the feeding tube became a series of instances where it was like, this is the norm. And every issue that we find wrong with our child and we see a specialist for, they're suggesting something that we ultimately disagree with, and they're not giving us an alternate, and that's kind of crazy.
