unfortunately this can also hit the other extreme. When I was young my mother took me to the doctors, I was ill but as murpheys law would have it I didnt look as ill as my mother insisted whilst I was sat in front of the doctor. As my father had just died he actually noted she was a 'neurotic mother'. A week later I was in intensive care, during my stay there I nearly died twice. Admittedly a lot has changed since the early eighties but still had she not insisted to multiple doctors how ill I was I wouldnt be here now.
