    I had the same pediatrician from when I was born to age 19. He had a long white mustache that he would use gel to curl up, he wore fun bow ties, and whenever he put foam hand sanitizer on, he’d put it into the shape of a bunny and make it hop around. I even made him do that at my last appointment when I was 19. He looked at me like I was crazy and I said “This is the last time I’m seeing you, man. *Do the bunny.*” He did the bunny.

      (TW: description of not nice phlebotomy experience, but not the main point of the thing, mostly about nice doctor)
      This is incredible. I love that he did the bunny, what a bro. :) it makes me think of a doctor I met once. I had an appointment in my late teens where I had to get blood drawn, and I have had several very very bad experiences with inexperienced phlebotomists. I actually went into shock one time because one didn't get my vein and was fishing around with the needle in there wiggling it while it was still inserted. Another doctor had to use an ultrasound to find my vein. But on that one appointment, I told the doctor I was very nervous about getting my blood drawn. He smiled and gave me a chocolate coin to bite down on when they had to put the needle in so that I would focus on that instead of being scared. It honestly helped so much. I really didn't expect him to take the time to make sure I was ok, and there were no problems at all drawing my blood.
      The doctor who gave me the chocolate also gave me a tiny squid stuffed animal. I was doing a test to see if I had residual brain damage from a TBI when I was a younger child, and one of the tests was throwing a ball back and forth to him while I named as many things of a category he named as quickly as possible. One of the categories was animals, and at a certain point I tried to say 'sea cucumber', but I accidentally said 'sea pickle' which was a nickname my siblings and I invented for nasty people and we had been talking in the car about how we hoped he wouldn't be a sea pickle. He didn't understand the context, (thank goodness, because he was a lovely person and I wouldn't want him thinking he was a sea pickle,) but his nurse and him and my mom and I all had a laugh about it, and he gave me the squid saying it was a sea pickle. I still have it to this day, even though I'm an adult, and it still makes me smile every time I look at it.
      I was very much a teenager who was perfectly fine being a kid a few years longer, and doctors who get that are wonderful. A pharmacist gave me a lollipop with my medication the other day and I was so happy and excited.

The job is wonderful and rewarding and the kiddos are spectacular. But a lot of parents in my town are grade-a brats. It gets under my skin because we want to help the children but parents will get prideful and refuse to take their kids in just to “make a point.” I grew up in a home that medically neglected me, so watching it happen to children who don’t know any better for parents’ being petty really bothers me.

Yep, they are a different species of doctor.

    Yes, yes, yes - pediatrics and pathology are my two favorite "characters" of yours - but only, because the rest is so... well. neurology-ly. The contrast is great. I keep rewatching these.

    By the same token that what is good in Pediatrics is everything, what we don't like about adult medicine is EVERYTHING. I must say that I was disheartened when the end of my third year in med school was approaching. I could not find myself doing anything related to adult medicine. Then came in Pedi: a lovely resident showed me that one could be a good doctor and still have fun!!! It is not only the fun, but the opportunity to educate a family on doing the right thing for their kids for a lifetime of healthy living. There have been plenty of painful moments and experiences when my kids allowed me to be a participant. What an amazing change of attitude!!!

She was a resident I believe, and would come outside her ward to play with me even after the treatment session was over. She would make glove balloons for me. I still remember the shock and despair I felt when that balloon exploded at home. That was about 20 years ago, and I would still be ecstatic receiving a glove balloon from her.

    I'm retired R.N and disabled now, but eons ago, I started my nursing career in pediatrics, following in the footsteps of both my mother and my older sister. Spent 7 years in it working in a long-term chronic care hospital here in Chicago called LaRabida Children's Hospital which was affiliated with the University of Chicago. We took a lot of abuse/neglect kids and l worked 13, 16 hour nights. One night, after admitting a child, I was sitting at the desk, opened the first page of the child's chart, immediately closed it and thought, "I can't do this anymore " The burnout was real; I couldn't read one more case of how adults (usually parents) hurt their kids. I transfered to adult medicine and was amazed how s l o w they were to respond to those small clues that the patient was going south; I thought they were all crazy. Then I learned the adult physiology compensates quite a deal more- in peds, we're trained to look for those little signs, as kids decompensate FAST; it could mean the difference between life and death. The upside is, you can get them back just as fast and when you
