Such as a three-year-old who was told that he had pink eye and he responded by saying, %u201CNo I don%u2019t, my eyes are brown!%u201D Or a two-and-a-half-year-old who was seen for bug bites, and when asked what bit him, he said, %u201CMy sister.%u201D Dr. Prentice, along with Dr. Gettleman, opened Great Destinations Pediatrics in 1999.
