36. YOU CAN’T SURVIVE ON GOAT MILK
We had an elderly woman with severe malnutrition. Her hippie daughter wanted us to only give her raw, unpasteurized goat milk. We did everything we could to convince her that her mother wasn’t getting enough nutrition.
That included allowing her to bring in the raw, unpasteurized goat milk that we would supplement with the FDA approved formula we wanted to give her mother through the feeding tube. We finally had to become pretty blunt with the daughter and let her know that her mother was going to die due to malnutrition because of her unique views on what constitutes a proper diet.
