The Tudor Dixon Podcast: Is Your Pediatrician Keeping Secrets From You About Your Child?

What happens when parents no longer have full access to their child’s medical information? Tudor Dixon is joined by Alleigh Marré, Executive Director of the American Parents Coalition, for a conversation about parental rights, pediatric medical privacy, and the role parents play in major health decisions involving their children. Tudor and Alleigh discuss policies that can limit parental access to some adolescent medical information, the American Academy of Pediatrics and its approach to gender-related care, and the broader debate over confidentiality between doctors and minors. They also examine Planned Parenthood, cross-sex hormones, youth sports, schools, summer camps, and the political battles surrounding gender policy. Plus, Alleigh explains what parents can ask their pediatricians, schools, sports organizations, and elected officials—and why she believes mothers and fathers need to become more involved in decisions affecting their children.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
