Glad to hear that someone is willing to take some time out .. and spend with parents and children – so important. I haven’t caught up with where you are now (as such) .. but I’ll just pop over – forward 15 months …

Good to meet you –

Also, when I took him in to have his burn checked out she said I should not keep it covered with a band-aid. Um, he’s a toddler, and when he sees something strange on his finger, he’s going to bite it off. And that’s what he did. He bit off the blister, now leaving it open. So I’m keeping it covered with a band aid.

I keep leaving you the longest comments. Sorry!

I’m glad to be back as well! I just was talking with my husband who is an ophthalmologist and he reiterated one of the things I pointed out. He said it’s the Oh By the Way comments that are really time consuming and he really wished that people would say it earlier in the visit or make another appointment. A physician really can’t do it justice to cram it in at the end of the visit and both parties get frustrated.

I look forward to seeing more of you at your blog. And mine too! Your welcome anytime.

Barbara-

Thank you for the kind words. Of all blogs about blogs I really like yours! You have such a great way of connecting with people that I hope to learn from! I put in CommentLuv because of you!

What a beautifully written post. It shows how caring you are. I like the fact you know what you want in life. You know you want to help others, but also have quality time with yourself and your family so you can develop into the best person you can be. What great lessons you’re teaching your own children.

All of our kids are grown, but if they were little, I’d love to have you as their pediatrician. You sound like a very concerned doctor who looks at situations from your patient’s point of view. That’s awesome

Welcome!!!

I love my son’s pediatrician. She only works part-time and is crazy busy (like a 3 legged cat in a litter box) but she’s worth the wait.

Good information to know. I take my son back to the doctor on Friday.

Take care, and see ya soon.

It’s very common for physicians to think that moms are over reacting. I have to fight that urge because I’m very often wrong.

So I just keep asking myself- If I were that mom- what would I want to hear? I can’t go wrong with this because I’d want to hear everything!

Awesome mom-

Very often Moms know more about their child’s diagnosis because they live it every day! I try to ask a lot of questions so I can be better prepared next time!

Christi-

That’s great he does that. I’ve had some pediatricians tell me not to think too hard in front of the patients but I’m really just letting them know what my opinion is. That way they will be more likely to adhere to our plan.

But I still plan to come back and see what you have to say!! I think it is awesome that you want to educate others and not just see tons of patients.

Christis last blog post..Did you have a nice weekend?

My eldest has a heart defect and I learned everything about his defect. I have also been very involved with things like doing his INR tests at home and NG tube feedings when he was a baby. Sure it was hard to have to do thses things for him, but it was worth it to me in the time I saved and so that my son would learn that I cared about him enough to do something that was so improtant for his health.

I loved our peditrician (we just moved so we are in transistion) he was very good about reassuring me that I was being a good mom. He was also very willing to interact with the kids and did not ignore them like some of the doctor’s that took care of my eldest son did (they did not last long since I did not feel like I had to put up with that).

Awesome Moms last blog post..You never can tell

I’d love to have a paediatrician like you.
My blog is full of frustrations with my daughter’s doctors.

I don’t even know where to start.

Umm, I’d ask my paed to listen to the parents and don’t belittle their concerns.

Our paed is young and just getting started. We like him, he’s a really nice person but sometimes it feels like he blows off our worries and our concerns.

Also, I really like to feel as though I am on some equal ground with someone who is going to be touching my children.

This is a fantastic post!
