Is it normal to think that pediatrics shouldn’t be for teens.
I just believe that once you enter puberty, you shouldn’t see a pediatrician. After all, in medicine, it’s best to listen to mother nature’s dictionary & not the dictionary of the prince.

I dunno, as a teen I went to see a pediatrician because it's hard to find a new doctor that's available and lives a certain acceptable distance from your house; I guess it could go either way. I think it's good that pediatricians can see teens, because that way teens are getting care while they're working on making the transition to different primary-care doctors, if that makes sense (sorry, maybe I explained this poorly).

haha, yeah, I guess the catch is that I didn't have very much left to begin with. :P plus, I just think it's helpful for the pediatricians to be there as a resource in the meantime. just because you have to see them a little bit doesn't mean you're stuck with them forever, it's just until you find a new doctor/get your insurance straightened away/etc. I think it'll be fine in the long run, but that's just my opinion.
