LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Developmental milestones: Even the Physicians don’t know enough and what we need to do?

Madam, in a correspondence to a previously published article titled Developmental milestones: Do the parents know enough?, Rathore and Mansoor have attempted to reflect physician`s awareness over the subject.1,2 Conventionally, in scientific journals, comments to a published article are usually quoted under the same title as that of the original article, but a similarly derived title in their letter was an innovative thought. A first view of the title stating Even the Physicians don t know enough may deliver the readers a message that probably this is a conclusion based upon some survey. Inversely, such declaration was based upon mere observations by the authors. This is not common to scientific publications. Such statements may be misquoted in future articles and reflect poorly on the journal as well, as there is no sufficient evidence to support this. Whereas, in the appraised article titled Developmental milestones: Do the parents know enough? Mushtaq and Rehman have based their review in context of references from international and local studies.
