Reminds me of when a patient coming in for a hemorrhoidectomy looked at the surgical table quizzically for a moment and then turned to me and asked, somewhat uncertainly, "so...how does this work? Is my butt going to be up in the air?" The short (and simplest) answer is, "yup, pretty much." The answer I gave was that she probably didn't really want to try to picture it. She accepted that.
Around a year back I saw a pediatrician on twitter point out that he had a favourite insect, dinosaur, pokemon, princess and... I forget what the fifth thing was... because "You never know when it's going to come up"
Nope, I grew up in a family that owned a birth to age 5/6 private learning center. Feels like home to me, joy, smiles etc etc the clamor of youth is the best sound in the world! Our future leaders at play!
My favorite part about being a pediatrician is I'm basically immune to everything. Being continuously armpit deep in almost every contagion keeps the old immune system at a high state of alert.
You know, I thought the same thing, yet I am currently laying in bed soaking my sheets through with sweat and a 102 fever. Who knows what I actually caught!
My first endocrinologist appointment was the Friday before Halloween. The entire staff was dressed up as tigers, victims, and other Tiger King things. I met and had a neck ultrasound by my Dr dressed up as Joe Exotic 😂😂😂 it was fantastic
@@Joy21090 It's baffling what difference a Smile makes. I've never Seen a doctor Smile - except pediatricians. (Well, courtesy politeness Smileys yes, but heartfelt warm smiles No. How do you donthat though when talking bout Bad things) I think it would be awesome!!
I work in peds and I can confirm that there are a lot of doctors low-key carrying babies to a nearby nurse's station to collectively coo at how cute they are.. with parent's permission, I assume/hope
Can't blame them. If you gotta Deal with dying toddlers, Holding and cooing Babies is Just ... Well, you gotta have the good Side of the Job too, right?
It would have not been me, I think. Even as a newborn with the weight and physical state of a pre-natal (my twin brother took all the food, I was really small and frail and almost died at birth), I quickly ended up making life really hard for the nurses because: fak u with your IV fluids, I absolutely refuse to eat (and am too small and weak for breast feeding), what is body temperature regulation... At least I was silent lol
At my locals.. never asked haha. I've had two 35weekers in NICU/SBU. I'd go down to visit and bub would be gone...find them at the nurses station with nurses and or ped having cuddles. 2 different hospitals, 8 years apart lol.
We all remember the first time we get handed a random baby and have it look at you like it knows all of your flaws and failures and it's definitely judging you for them.
Yep, that was me with my niece after she was born. I had never held an infant in my life up until that point (I was 19 at the time) and it was so awkward. They literally just handed me, a fresh-out-of-high school young adult, this baby and walked out of the house. Like wtf.
I sprained my ankle really badly once and went to emerg to get checked out. I happened to be seen by a pediatrician and it was the first time I had been treated with dignity at a hospital. I'll never forget it, he was a beautiful human.
It’s not the hair-pulling, the mucous, the being peed and pooped and vomited on. It’s not the trouble communicating with people who haven’t or have barely learned to speak or the and the difficulty diagnosing kids who often present atypically and can’t say where or how much it hurts and use ‘family’ words for body parts. That’s stuff is not why paediatricians are so special. Paediatricians are the most amazing doctors and very special people. Nobody likes to think about children and babies getting sick or dying but paediatricians deal with that for their job. They knew they would have to deal with it and they decided to go for it anyway because the good they can do makes it worth it. The are incredibly brave and positive people. Imagine realizing that in order to help children and families you are going to have to look parents in the eye and tell them the truth when their child is not going to get better, that you are going to lose patients who you come to love and care about who should just be starting their lives, that your patients are going to ask some of the hardest questions that can be asked and you are going to have to deal with all kinds of terrible situations that most of us try not to think about, and then you go, okay, but I can save the lives of children and improve their final days and make their lives better and less painful so I’m gonna do it even though it is going to hurt like hell and even though I’m going to have to be positive for my patients and their families no matter how bad it gets. And on top of that, people are going to think you have an easy, slacker specialty, just giving vaccines and weighing babies! I have infinite respect and gratitude for paediatricians and paediatric nurses. Thank you all for being the bravest people in the world.
I was a secretary on the PEDS unit before I got married. My two favorite memories was the doctors fishing a growing corn plant out of a toddlers sinuses, the leaves were sticking out of his nose. And the time the charge nurse was about to call CPS on parents of a child with a spiral fracture. No one believed their story until the kid decided he didn’t like his cast, stuck it through the crib bars and rolled over, shattering the cast and renewing the spiral fracture in front of her, me, and the pediatrician. Needless to say he was put in a “big boy” bed and CPS wasn’t called. This was decades ago before OSHA and computers!
I LOVED my paediatrician! He ALWAYS knew what was wrong with me just by taking one look. I was his patient until I was 20 and then sadly covid took him away. What a great and kind man.
there was a pediatrician who used to go to the local comic shop on Wednesdays and spend like 200 bucks every time, and get stuff special ordered all the time. He'd always bring his own bag, a promotional bag that I think he got at Comic Con (had the Spiderman 2 movie poster on it and was worn down to nothing). For the great work he does, I'm glad he gets to buy whatever the heck he wants
@@annienjansenvanrensburg3890My aunts toddler was jumping on the bed. He fell and his head bumped into his mother's upper front tooth with so much force that at least 2 mm of her tooth was forced into the socket and his scalp burst open. He got stitches and my aunt got high potency pain medication.🤣 And now one(right) tooth is higher than the other.
I raised my brother from the time he was about 2, so I am more than sure my nose is crooked because he's kicked me so hard While the cartilage was still forming because nobody else in my family has that problem.
I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was 18 months. I loved my pediatric nurses and doctors so much! I was so sad when I finally had to leave when I was 19 as I had spent the entirety of my life seeing them. I think of them so fondly.
For diabetes they are useless...most don't want to get a nondiabetic a1c. They will tell you a 6.5% a1c is healthy while studies show anything above a 5.4 has significant risk. Any complications so far?

Not a doctor but spent time in paediatric hospitals with my little sister. Paediatricians and paediatric nurses are some of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, except for paediatric neurology, they’re terrifying
As a paediatrician, these are my standard lines too, even though I'm at the opposite side of the world - reassuring students that they don't have to worry about "not being good with kids", telling them why we don't wear white coats and of course the endless number of patients. Really relate to all of this and I'm sure my students do too!
I was told that in paediatrics you're not really treating the child- you're treating their parents. Then everyone got angry with me when I gave the dexamethasone to the dad for my first kid with croup.
I still remember my pediatrics doctor! He wasn't covered in stickers or anything and still looked like a doctor, but he was so gentle and funny. He's the reason I'm not afraid of needles. :)
I was having a "Shunt Flow Study" done, because the ventriculoperitoneal shunt in my brain had malfunctioned before and I'd (unknowingly) torn some of the tissue in around thr drainage tube in my neck. I was getting an X-Ray and the radiologist had a student in the room with her. The student asked the radiologist what I had and why I had it? The radiologist responded it was a device in my brain that drained the fluid out of it. The student said, "Oh," in a disapointed tone. I raised my hand and said, "May I?" The radiologist said, "Sure!" I explained to the student that a shunt serves a lot like an IV and is used as a sort of last resort, when tubing in the brain is not affective, in draining cerebral spinal fluid, or CSF. When CSF gets trapped in the brain, it causes the brain to swell. With a shunt in the brain, there's a tube that sits in the center of the brain and collects the CSF there. The fluid gets pushed into a hard plastic sack, also known as the shunt, (I had her feel the lump on my head) and as the shunt gets full it pushes the fluid down another tube, which runs down along my neck, below my ribcage, down behind my bladder, then it comes back up, and empties in my stomach, like the CSF should naturally do. The student was smiling and I asked the radiologist if that sounded right and she said that was a much better explanation than she could give! The patient surpasses the doctor. Aaahhh! 😆
Considering I'm watching cartoons (Bunnicula, for the curious) with a ventilator dependent 12 year old while typing this, guess you'd say this hits close to home. 🥰👍
Pediatricians are angels. I love the videos of the ones who are super good at giving shots, like the kid is so distracted they barely noticed it and immediately are distracted again.
The where’s his parents cracked me up. 😂 My son was in and out of the Children’s Hospital, quite a bit, when he was a baby. I was always amazed by how many children were there with not a parent in site.
A lot of parents have to work or care for other children. I see it a lot in NICU. I used to go to deliveries and even had dads who missed the birth of their baby because they weren't allowed to take off work for it and couldn't afford to just walk out.
@@LulaMae21 The NICU at the hospital where I did my Nursing rotations had Senior Sitters. Senior Citizens used to volunteer their time just to come in & hold, rock, coo, sing, & talk to the babies because their Parents were unable to do so. It was a wonderful thing for all of them.
I gotta say my favorite doctor ever was my pediatrician from birth! She had my older brother and even my much younger half sister, (i think they do it by last names.) But she saved my life! At 11 a random murmer was heard listening to my heart, ended up being the rarest hesrt tumor in history and if she didnt hear it during a sports physical and get it check IMMEDIATELY, i wouldnt be here! Not only was she AMAZING as a doc, but she was so nice. 🙂 Seeing this being an adult now, makes me want to give her an award!
Crazy how? In our hospital in my country we have a 80 bed pediatric ward. 24 semi private 12 private rooms. A full pediatric ICU and almost full NICU. And kids from very poor families constantly dying with a staff of 40 plus residents working 100 hour workweeks. So yeah it's "crazy" lol
@ln+3rna1hàbän3r0s Crazy through the eyes of s student: the way of talking on the ward, work atmosphere etc. I know life is hard but we have to live somewhat normal as any other profession would do. Please try and see a bit of the rainbow too and don't talk about death every second of your day. This was a funny video, not a manifesto against the healthcare system. Have a good day! 😁
You can't just switch from saying "knock knock" to actually knocking and expect people to go with it. First the microscope, now this? Where does it end?
Good pediatrics doctors are the fucking best. I was moved to the pediatrics unit once cus they had no more room in the urgent care/I had been there too long and I was technically a minor still (17) and they were just so incredibly nice
Sounds like our pediatrician. These days he does wear a paper apron/gown and face shield as an extra precaution since he has to be up close with patients but he's so soft spoken and kind that thankfully the kids aren't scared. Plus my older of the two was born as everything shut down (March 21, 2020) so masks and ppe don't really phase her thankfully.
Pediatrics absolutely broke me. I was on Pediatric Oncology, ICU, and ID. ID was the most tolerable one, since kids actually got better (I was getting sick almost every two weeks tho). Oncology and ICU was heartbreak after heartbreak. Mad respect for healthcare workers on Pediatrics
One time I got a pediatric nurse after my surgery, I was in my mid 20’s. She was so sweet and kind to me. I was in so much pain and was so miserable but she really helped me through that. I’m so grateful for her 😊
My first unit clerk job was on post partum and I’m not a baby/kid person. The first new born I held, all my co-workers said they’d get me to Chang e my mind about having my own. First new born I had to hold was so the nurse could run and help with something urgently… it melted my heart when it made the cutest little face ever, I could almost feel my ovaries hurt, and then I just felt wetness. Baby had peed allllllll over me. My ovaries climbed back up and hid so quick!!!!! It’s been 13 years and they’re still hiding.
I just rediscovered your channel after about a year. I'm a (26M) soldier and about to have hip surgery. The er-ortho consult was so spot on, especially for military medicine. Thanks for all you do. I needed the laughs today.
As a medical interpreter, thank you for not wearing the white coat, the moment the kid sees the "mean" doctor in the white coat they start crying and my ears start bleeding 😂
"also don't wear a tie we have some toddlers that will STrangleyoutodeath with it." 🦄😁🤣 lmao this was good acting and costume-ing i genuinely felt like these were two different people
You ever tried to examine the ears of a ticked-off 2 1/2 year old? It’s like you’ve challenged Bruce Lee to a kung fu match. I’ve been kicked in the gut, scratched in the eye, punched in the neck….the list goes on. Funny thing is, they usually wave, smile, and say “bye” when I go to leave the room and mom says they go around at home with their doctor kit pretending to be me.
I don't think it would be bad for the kid or the doctor to have like a restraining chair for the little patient - think electric chair, where the person can't move, but kid friendly - rainbow colors, etc. Otherwise, how could you do it without hurting yourself or giving the kid drugs?
I imagine babies, toddlers and people with senile dementia are the hardest most frustrating patients to have. Hope those drs and nurses have tons of therapy accesible as part of their workers comps
As a newborn Hospitalist…nope. Our patients don’t even count toward the hospital census…so why (Admin reasons) would we need therapy? But I get to cuddle babies after I examine them, before I give them back. There’s definitely therapeutic value to that.
@@sjanex Uh yeah, they're awful. Screaming all over the place, parents who gave them half the injuries they come in with, parents who won't be compliant with medication, etc. Working with babies doesn't mean they're sleeping and cute all the time. They're sick or hurt and shrieking like they're being put through a meat grinder.
Pediatrician can confirm. I’ve worn stickers, carry a toy on my stethoscope and have Power Ranger bandaids…not for the kids, they’re all mine. 😅 Also the volume is crushing, like burning out and questioning my career choices crushing but thankfully most kids are generally healthy with fewer co-morbidities so I guess that helps balance it out a little?
I remember getting my hand stitched up. It was my pediatricians first time sewing up a person since she got her license. I think she was more worried that I was. I just wanted to not have a nickel length gash on my palm.
I waited for him to quote the patient number and he gave the best answer! I've been to a ward with over 300 kids; each cot having like 3-4 babies in it
Pediatricians are a different breed, different voices, faces, smiles, they’re awesome. My daughter’s pediatrician is the coolest dude, very attentive and answers my question straight, and he’s very patient with all kiddos.
It's different when it's your kids vs others. I don't want to hold other people's babies but will snuggle mine all day long if I can get away with it. I worked in a daycare with preschoolers and it was fun, but it was definitely not for me.
I've been in and out of pediatrics as a kid because of some chronic pain, and istg they're always the nicest people for no reason. I could rant to them and they understood to leave me be when I needed it. Wish all docs acted like pediatrics ngl
THIS IS SO TRUE!! I am a Lactation Consultant in a hospital and when the first years get on peds you can see the difference in those who have chosen pets as their specialty and those who haven't. Those who have changed diapers before vs those who are probably and only child, whose cousins are in the same age range and have no little person experience. That first week is priceless to watch.
My geneticist is hidden in the peds department and it gives me great joy to sit in the pediatric waiting area and get a sticker after my appointments :)

I find myself saying "how detailed do you want that answer" A LOT during rounds 😂

Color?
@@cospaws8810 it's rarely anything that normal. Probably whatever today's equivalent of Power Rangers is.

It's true. And you better be ready to say *why* stegosaurus is your favorite.
You ever realize you get the exact same feeling of being overwhelmed at a day care center that you do at the pediatrician?

My immediate thought always with the videos "Poor Guy"
ICONIC. I love the pediatrics staff at Hospital Glaucomflecken
As a paediatrician, these are my standard lines too, even though I'm at the opposite side of the world - reassuring students that they don't have to worry about "not being good with kids", telling them why we don't wear white coats and of course the endless number of patients. Really relate to all of this and I'm sure my students do too!
I believe the part about kids grabbing ties and trying to strangle you with them. I stopped wearing my work ID on a lanyard real fast for that reason.
I am training as a child psychologist right now and the stickers are totally accurate. As well as drawings from kids on my arms and stamps haha
Pediatricians……..like regular doctors, only cooler😎
💯💯
Constant reruns of bluey and disney jr shows mixed in with children crying will have you shell shocked😅
Overnight marathons of SpongeBob. Every. Night. 😳
We love bluey, the rest of Disney Jr can die in a fire for the most part. And peppa pig lol.
Don't forget the terrifying abomination that is Cocomelon!
@@voicingsomeopinions7006 that can go the same place as the others lol
@@agailparsons I really don't understand why so many kids like it. The eyes are so creepy! And the way they move is so uncanny valley!
I was told that in paediatrics you're not really treating the child- you're treating their parents. Then everyone got angry with me when I gave the dexamethasone to the dad for my first kid with croup.
lol
lmao now that's a story
As a former member of people medicine, I do veterinary medicine now, I love these!!
What would Vet Glaucomflecken look like, I wonder🤔😊
I have no medical background whatsoever but I love your content man. Keep it up!
I was today years old when I realized I’ve never seen a pediatrics homie in anything more formal than mickey mouse scrubs.
I still remember my pediatrics doctor! He wasn't covered in stickers or anything and still looked like a doctor, but he was so gentle and funny. He's the reason I'm not afraid of needles. :)
I was having a "Shunt Flow Study" done, because the ventriculoperitoneal shunt in my brain had malfunctioned before and I'd (unknowingly) torn some of the tissue in around thr drainage tube in my neck.
I was getting an X-Ray and the radiologist had a student in the room with her.
The student asked the radiologist what I had and why I had it?
The radiologist responded it was a device in my brain that drained the fluid out of it.
The student said, "Oh," in a disapointed tone.
I raised my hand and said, "May I?"
The radiologist said, "Sure!"
I explained to the student that a shunt serves a lot like an IV and is used as a sort of last resort, when tubing in the brain is not affective, in draining cerebral spinal fluid, or CSF.
When CSF gets trapped in the brain, it causes the brain to swell.
With a shunt in the brain, there's a tube that sits in the center of the brain and collects the CSF there.
The fluid gets pushed into a hard plastic sack, also known as the shunt, (I had her feel the lump on my head) and as the shunt gets full it pushes the fluid down another tube, which runs down along my neck, below my ribcage, down behind my bladder, then it comes back up, and empties in my stomach, like the CSF should naturally do.
The student was smiling and I asked the radiologist if that sounded right and she said that was a much better explanation than she could give!
The patient surpasses the doctor. Aaahhh! 😆
“It’s best that I don’t tell you” is a terrific payoff. I’m going to use that.
Considering I'm watching cartoons (Bunnicula, for the curious) with a ventilator dependent 12 year old while typing this, guess you'd say this hits close to home. 🥰👍
Pediatricians are angels. I love the videos of the ones who are super good at giving shots, like the kid is so distracted they barely noticed it and immediately are distracted again.
The where’s his parents cracked me up. 😂
My son was in and out of the Children’s Hospital, quite a bit, when he was a baby. I was always amazed by how many children were there with not a parent in site.
A lot of parents have to work or care for other children. I see it a lot in NICU. I used to go to deliveries and even had dads who missed the birth of their baby because they weren't allowed to take off work for it and couldn't afford to just walk out.
@@LulaMae21
The NICU at the hospital where I did my Nursing rotations had Senior Sitters. Senior Citizens used to volunteer their time just to come in & hold, rock, coo, sing, & talk to the babies because their Parents were unable to do so. It was a wonderful thing for all of them.
If I went into medicine this is exactly the speciality I would choose absolutely.❤️
I gotta say my favorite doctor ever was my pediatrician from birth! She had my older brother and even my much younger half sister, (i think they do it by last names.)
But she saved my life! At 11 a random murmer was heard listening to my heart, ended up being the rarest hesrt tumor in history and if she didnt hear it during a sports physical and get it check IMMEDIATELY, i wouldnt be here!
Not only was she AMAZING as a doc, but she was so nice. 🙂
Seeing this being an adult now, makes me want to give her an award!
I loved my pediatric rotation. The children called me Dr. Big Guy. It was adorable.
As an adult one of the best ER doctors I ever had came from a children's hospital. My veins weren't co-operating for the IV. He put the IV in my foot.
I'm on my pediatrics
rotation this semester. First thought was "is everyone crazy here? Am i crazy?" 😂 It's a different world there.
Crazy how?
In our hospital in my country we have a 80 bed pediatric ward. 24 semi private 12 private rooms. A full pediatric ICU and almost full NICU. And kids from very poor families constantly dying with a staff of 40 plus residents working 100 hour workweeks. So yeah it's "crazy" lol
@ln+3rna1hàbän3r0s Crazy through the eyes of s student: the way of talking on the ward, work atmosphere etc. I know life is hard but we have to live somewhat normal as any other profession would do. Please try and see a bit of the rainbow too and don't talk about death every second of your day. This was a funny video, not a manifesto against the healthcare system. Have a good day! 😁
Our pediatrician checks my toddlers feet for a heartbeat so... lol. She's great and they love her. I basically have to drag them out of the office.
You can't just switch from saying "knock knock" to actually knocking and expect people to go with it. First the microscope, now this? Where does it end?
This pre-dated “knock knock.” After this video I got my act together and learned common courtesy when introducing myself to myself
@@DGlaucomflecken 🤣🤣🤣🙈
Good pediatrics doctors are the fucking best. I was moved to the pediatrics unit once cus they had no more room in the urgent care/I had been there too long and I was technically a minor still (17) and they were just so incredibly nice
"... they'll strangle you with it." KILLED ME 🤣🤣🤣 THE FACE😊
Sounds like our pediatrician. These days he does wear a paper apron/gown and face shield as an extra precaution since he has to be up close with patients but he's so soft spoken and kind that thankfully the kids aren't scared. Plus my older of the two was born as everything shut down (March 21, 2020) so masks and ppe don't really phase her thankfully.
Pediatrics absolutely broke me. I was on Pediatric Oncology, ICU, and ID.
ID was the most tolerable one, since kids actually got better (I was getting sick almost every two weeks tho). Oncology and ICU was heartbreak after heartbreak. Mad respect for healthcare workers on Pediatrics
“How many kids do you see in a day?”
“About three times the worlds population - and that’s if it’s a slow day.”
One time I got a pediatric nurse after my surgery, I was in my mid 20’s. She was so sweet and kind to me. I was in so much pain and was so miserable but she really helped me through that. I’m so grateful for her 😊
My first unit clerk job was on post partum and I’m not a baby/kid person. The first new born I held, all my co-workers said they’d get me to Chang e my mind about having my own. First new born I had to hold was so the nurse could run and help with something urgently… it melted my heart when it made the cutest little face ever, I could almost feel my ovaries hurt, and then I just felt wetness. Baby had peed allllllll over me. My ovaries climbed back up and hid so quick!!!!! It’s been 13 years and they’re still hiding.
We need a valentines special. How each one starts or keep a relationship.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
There's a video where the doctors write valentines for each other.
Aw the Pediatric Dr is sooo sweet lol
I just rediscovered your channel after about a year. I'm a (26M) soldier and about to have hip surgery. The er-ortho consult was so spot on, especially for military medicine. Thanks for all you do. I needed the laughs today.
« How many kids do you see in a day? »
Me: Yes
Omg how did I just realize that I never saw doctors wear coats or ties until I was an adult??
As a medical interpreter, thank you for not wearing the white coat, the moment the kid sees the "mean" doctor in the white coat they start crying and my ears start bleeding 😂
I’m nothing near a doctor and I love these videos. So glad I found this channel! 😊
I could watch a whole season of each of these characters!
"also don't wear a tie we have some toddlers that will STrangleyoutodeath with it." 🦄😁🤣
lmao
this was good acting and costume-ing i genuinely felt like these were two different people
Peds deserves the most praise to me. And I was a greenside HM for years.
The shaking of that baby, and the question of where is it's parents..., And the facial expression 🤣😂🤣🤣
Can we please get one with OB-GYN and Ped together? I’d like to see (a bit) more of our renowned Ob-GYN Ms Glaucomflecken
Second this! The mother baby unit!
And bc he's a curly redhead, littles with LOVE to grab handfuls of it and make him a pretty pretty princess.😂❤❤
You ever tried to examine the ears of a ticked-off 2 1/2 year old? It’s like you’ve challenged Bruce Lee to a kung fu match. I’ve been kicked in the gut, scratched in the eye, punched in the neck….the list goes on. Funny thing is, they usually wave, smile, and say “bye” when I go to leave the room and mom says they go around at home with their doctor kit pretending to be me.
I once got a bloody nose from a kid who decided to leap “like a frog” during his back exam.
I don't think it would be bad for the kid or the doctor to have like a restraining chair for the little patient - think electric chair, where the person can't move, but kid friendly - rainbow colors, etc. Otherwise, how could you do it without hurting yourself or giving the kid drugs?
The way he spoke to him "is this your first pediatric rotation" because he can't lose the flow.. just like a toddler 😂
I imagine babies, toddlers and people with senile dementia are the hardest most frustrating patients to have. Hope those drs and nurses have tons of therapy accesible as part of their workers comps
As a newborn Hospitalist…nope. Our patients don’t even count toward the hospital census…so why (Admin reasons) would we need therapy?
But I get to cuddle babies after I examine them, before I give them back. There’s definitely therapeutic value to that.
I work with older adults and yes the ones with severe dementia are tough. I cry everyday I work with one
Therapy for working with babies and toddlers, seriously?? 🙄
@@sjanex Uh yeah, they're awful. Screaming all over the place, parents who gave them half the injuries they come in with, parents who won't be compliant with medication, etc. Working with babies doesn't mean they're sleeping and cute all the time. They're sick or hurt and shrieking like they're being put through a meat grinder.
"From a doctor licensed in the u.s" being at the bottom makes this 10× funnier 😂
Pediatrician can confirm. I’ve worn stickers, carry a toy on my stethoscope and have Power Ranger bandaids…not for the kids, they’re all mine. 😅 Also the volume is crushing, like burning out and questioning my career choices crushing but thankfully most kids are generally healthy with fewer co-morbidities so I guess that helps balance it out a little?
So that's why it's always casual fridays at the pediatrics!! That makes SO MUCH SENSE NOW
I remember getting my hand stitched up. It was my pediatricians first time sewing up a person since she got her license. I think she was more worried that I was. I just wanted to not have a nickel length gash on my palm.
I waited for him to quote the patient number and he gave the best answer!
I've been to a ward with over 300 kids; each cot having like 3-4 babies in it
I'm currently in rheumatology my next rotation is at a hospital that specialises in pediatrics this is exactly how I imagine myself
Another great video from the doctor. Keep it going
Man's got a pocket dimension where he keeps his spare babies
The final punchline made me lol irl. 🤣
Please tell us more about paediatrician, I will be next generation paediatrician.
Omg you guys are the best! My daughter was 4 when diagnosed with immune deficiency and the medical staff got me through it❤❤
If I were the med student I’d happily hold that baby, I love kids!
The tie got me wailing 😂😂
I have a pediatric dentist office as a customer I visit almost daily and I really don’t know how they do it.
Pediatricians are a different breed, different voices, faces, smiles, they’re awesome. My daughter’s pediatrician is the coolest dude, very attentive and answers my question straight, and he’s very patient with all kiddos.
As a family NP. I dreaded my peds rotation and I had 4 kids!
It's different when it's your kids vs others. I don't want to hold other people's babies but will snuggle mine all day long if I can get away with it. I worked in a daycare with preschoolers and it was fun, but it was definitely not for me.
I’ve been looking forward for this one ❤
It’s the parents that I’d be most annoyed with..
"*knock knock* Hi! I'm the -" is the best part of most videos haha.
As a nurse always hated pediatrics and still am I hate kids never want to have them
The tie strangling is real!!!! Saw it during my peds nursing clinicals
children are truly the biggest source of horror and fear
Thank you pediatricians. All yall in the medical field. Thank you.

I've been in and out of pediatrics as a kid because of some chronic pain, and istg they're always the nicest people for no reason. I could rant to them and they understood to leave me be when I needed it. Wish all docs acted like pediatrics ngl

THIS IS SO TRUE!! I am a Lactation Consultant in a hospital and when the first years get on peds you can see the difference in those who have chosen pets as their specialty and those who haven't. Those who have changed diapers before vs those who are probably and only child, whose cousins are in the same age range and have no little person experience. That first week is priceless to watch.

I sometimes talk to pediatric nurses for my work and they are always amazing people
On my peds rotation now. Loving it so much though. The kiddos are the best!!!
My geneticist is hidden in the peds department and it gives me great joy to sit in the pediatric waiting area and get a sticker after my appointments :)
