You have to administer the medicine for it to work!

People are incensed that a doctor in Burleson gave a prescription to Courtney Capps for her 5-year-old son, Isaiah. The prescription was to "Apply large paddle to bottom of child anytime he needs it."

Courtney has filed a complaint with the Texas Medical Board, and Dr. Carl Gossett has been fired from Huguley Memorial Medical Center. That's too bad. Can you imagine how that child must have been running amok in his office for the doctor to prescribe such a thing?

I'm sure his prescription was just what the doctor should have ordered. But Courtney disagrees. "My kids are my world. They're my everything." Most parents feel that way, Courtney. That's why they discipline their children . . . sometimes with that large paddle to the bottom.

I have a feeling we'll be hearing about little Isaiah in 15 years or so . . . when he's sentenced to TDC.
