Peds - Not child play!

Now I've finished a few days of posting and one posting that has got my attention has to be pediatrics. Kid doctors. Pediatrics are the doctors who treat patients upto the age of 12. Now why am I specifically saying 13 is not pediatric age is because..... I am fed up of people still going to their pediatric doctor even though they are 17 and covered with pubic hair! The only thing pediatric about them is their brain! Maybe people prefer going to the pediatric doctor because he'll give you a lollipop after every injection. Wait....actually that is a good idea. Like give a lollipop or a sweet after a surgery. It'll make people happy......unless he has a diabetic problem. Then that's just mean.
            Now one problem is to be professional. You shouldn't be going "aaaw" at every kid you see. Thats quite a challenge. Also when you see these cute lil kids sick you just get pissed. Pissed for no Reason. You see a kid with dengue and you start cursing mosquitoes for half an hour. Or if there's are sent respiratory disease you'll be like "It's all the airs fault! Whyyyy! Argh! *Breaking glass* "
     Another important thing about pediatrics is the parent management. Because there's a lot of emotion in this. I swear to God that is the few times where you will see a grown man cry. So you got to handle with care. Its not like other medical specialities in which you can tell the attender "shut up and let me do my job" or "no ma'am! We will not give you a lollipop after the surgery!" These you can't​ do this in Peds. Highly emotional and they will not tend to overreact which is understandable from their side. So you got to be careful . You need to somehow tell the patient "Dude chill the f*ck out! We got this! Nothing is going to happen to your baby and sit down. Looks like we need to check your pressure"
           Pediatrics you need to improve on your ninja skills. Stealth mode. You need to somehow put the Injection to the kid without waking him up. It's like defusing a bomb. One slip...boom! They start crying. And When a kid starts crying it's not a normal thing. Have you seen how wolves start howling it causes all the other wolves to start howling? Same thing. Once a baby shouts. Like an echo the next one starts screaming and boom! Its surround sound crying in the ward!
    It's literally I'm sitting in my room in the night. And I can still hear the kids laughing and crying in my head. Hearing a baby laugh may be a cute sound...but it's not when it's 3 o clock in the morning and your alone. Maybe the director for exorcist was a pediatrician before!
      There have been fun moments for me in Peds like
  You know in a new born ward they don't let the parents in during visiting times. So what they do is they they take a camera and they put it over every baby for some 10 seconds and the parents see it from outside on a big screen. So I was the ward.....and yep. You guessed it. I put my head In between and said hi in front of the camera!
So you can imagine the parents were like "aaaw look at our child. He looks so much healthie....OMG! Wat is that monster nose blocking the screen?! Save our son! It's Godnozzle!"
 
There was also a pretty funny moment when this small kid said he wanted to see some wrestling videos. Sure why not? I showed the classic (and a personal favourite) Shawn Michaels Vs Triple street fight at summer slam 2002. He looked at me unimpressed and was like "I don't want to see men fighting I want to see girls fighting" me:...Okaaaaay....u got a bright future kid". But I was so scared to show him because I didn't want his mum to kill me. But fiiiiiinally the day he got discharged I showed him Trish Stratus Vs Lita. Hey! They kid was admitted for 2 weeks in a hospital. Cut him some slack.
     When you are every kid you'll be like "Damn you should make your kid join singing class. Are those lungs or air horns?!" It also makes you think "Everyones had such powerful lungs then. What partial smoking or poisonous smog in the atmosphere Came to my life for me to sound like this?!" Ask your parents. They will say the same
        By for the post graduates I have an immense amount of respect (and also a feeling of "phew. I dodged that bullet") especially a school senior I know you got pediatrics in a really awesome college. It's like they are there in the ward all the time. Whenever I go...morning... afternoon....when I realised I left my phone there and I go back at midnight..holy crap.. they still there! I'm like "Dude! Even the patients leave the ward more often! Do you have a room? Do you even take a shit!?" Crazy amount of work hours these guys do!
      I love the fact that how good a doctor is  they need a separate talent to control kids. Or to please them. It's so funny seeing this big doctors get pissed at kids crying and go "Stop crying! Stop crying! Or I'll swear to God I'll hit you" and I'm like "Really dude? Do you think the kid will go "I should stop crying? I never thought of that! Good idea! Please....do put the IV line in my vein!" Kids don't give a shit if you are the head of the department. They will still kick you in the face when you try to do something.
    I'm coming back and I'm like "Mum! These kids are really out of control! I cat believe it!
My mum *Getting flashback of me small screaming and running round in a round while a doctor chases me with a needle* "Sit down boy. Let me tell you what I've been through because of you"
