@@joesmilk3492 tell me about it. My friends grand kid could speak at 8 months old. Like properly talk in full adult sentences. It was actually hilarious but weird.
Ok I’ve got a funny story. My dad is a pathologist and one night when I was like 2 he gets paged in. My mom was on a trip and out of town so he needed to bring me in with him. He ended up needing to do a frozen section. He told the lab tech to babysit, gave them lil toddler me, and proceeded to work. A few minutes later he looks through the window into the main room and sees the lab tech with a horrified look on their face chasing me around the lab. Turns out the lab tech was terrified of children and I was quite a handful.
YESSSSS!!! I'm an ER admissions clerk and I cannot even begin to count how many times I've had this conversation: Me: "What brings you into the ER today?" Mom: "It's my baby." Me: "What ~about~ your baby brings you in today?" Mom: "He's crying." Me: *looks at calm, alert, smiling baby* 🤔
This is actually how my parents found out I had a rare kidney disease. I was an unusually "good" and quiet baby/kid even if I was sick and had a high fever. So when I started crying my mom knew something was wrong. Turns out I was born with cystinuria. I literally pass kidney stones all the time. Yes, those will make a quiet baby scream lol but I do see a lot of parents bring their babies in for crying 😆 I've even seen a lady demand her baby be admitted because it cries and she needed sleep 🤦🏻♀️
@@JupiterRadio agree depends what is meant by crying. I cried non stop but because I had an infection, I was taken in for something else and they found out accidentally.
@@wendy645 crying is the only way babies can communicate that something is wrong, no wonder parents freak out. I have a relative, whose baby had a stroke and the the only symptom was crying. The docs brushed it off, so her left side was partially paralised.
There's actually a real ICD-10 code for "Crying Baby, NOS": R68.11. I see it on ER discharge notes from time to time. That's right up there with "Feared complaint with no diagnosis made." (Z71.1)
As a peds nurse in private practice this is hilariously relatable. We often rechecked many “ear infections” that weren’t ear infections at all. I honestly think ER Drs get scared of babies and just say it’s something easy and send them on their way hoping they follow up with their regular Peds Dr.
@@TheMarshmellowLife that’s kinda funny because once I had an allergic reaction when I was like 6 and this one paramedic recognized me and was like “oh hi Megan” because I had a reaction recently before that. I recognized him also
@@megannewell2133 that makes sense. And not every paramedic is terrified, just most of the ones I know lol Believe it or not, despite allergic reactions being life-threatening, they're one of the simplest calls to run. Makes it pretty easy to be chill for those. It's when you don't know what's going on and the kid starts decompensating quickly.
@@TheMarshmellowLife I assumed so, it was also a call to the children’s hospital so that would make more sense. I never knew that allergic reactions were pretty easy cases, though I guess it’s better to know what’s actually happening so you can chose the right medicines.
When my kid was 7 we spent a whole year in and out of the hospital. Her ortho doc was great! Then we meet her plastic surgeon...let's just say he WASN'T good with kids. When he left his assistant said "Don't worry, you'll be dealing with me from now on. He just does the initial consult. You'll never see him again, I promise!" My kid was like..."Okay but you better not be lying! You know where you go for lying right???" She was a laugh riot the whole time we were there.
I remember I was afraid of the needle. And so instead of calming me down, they immediately called in four more people to hold my four year old self down. I’m claustrophobic, and I lose my shit when I can’t move, so of course it made me struggle and cry. I never went back either, if I was sick I’d pretend I wasn’t sick until I was fine again, solely so I wouldn’t have to go back there.
@@eturtled bruh, definitely!!!!! now this person has been affected negatively by that experience and it makes me sad :( That clinic really should've tried to calm them down when they were younger :/
Epiglottitis? Because the baby is crying, started drooling while crying, and the parents suspect sore throat? Contain your zebras, mate! Still need tests, of course, to rule out bacterial infection, unlikely as it may be without a fever, but epiglottitis, of all things? I'd sooner expect pneumonia, and, much more likely, UTI than epiglottitis with this presentation. Seriously, what sort of unvaccinated third world country are you from? Haemophilus infections are literally 1 in a million here (or 0.1 in 100000, if you want to be pedantic). My diagnosis here, from what information we have, would be herpangina. Need to check the kid for exsiccosis-toxicosis, and look inside the mouth to be sure, though.
@@povilzem yh, in retrospect I may agree. 11 month Olds do naturally just drool a lot sometimes. Id be worried for epiglotitis with other issues like if they aren't able to breath etc.

When I had to do my first pediatric sexual assault kit, I learned that it's not the kids that are scary. It's their crazy parents.

I still think about them and wonder if their mom ever got the help she needed or if they got to live with someone more stable. They were such good kids. Trying to care for each other as best they could.
As a nursing student I had a tour of a sexual assault clinic. One of the rooms was done up with murals and bright colours and the exam bed was a green frog. Was a really cool exam room when you dont know what that clinic was for

I'm an experienced mum. I help the doctor by holding them or easing their mouth open. They aren't too bad when they're sitting on their mums knee. There are many ways to get an 11 month old to open their mouth including putting a spoon in front of it or offering them their bottle. They'll open up then. If its essential medicine and without it they're in trouble, it needs to be done.

Considering time is a human construct I'd be just as surprised that they understand their position in history as the fact that they could utter the phrase "August 8, 2021"

She walked in on me rolling her from side to side tucking in the diaper saying “ok stop squirming peach fuzz and it will be over soon!” She looked at me. Walked over with a file under her arm, grabbed the feet, lifted her bum up, changed her diaper with one hand, shook her head, and walked off to see her next client. My mom (my sister’s and my father’s secretary) died laughing. I had no clue! I change big diapers! My patients follow commands sometimes!
Ha ha totaly understandible 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I am pet sitter and I came to people who had sweater for mini shnaucer and I usualy deal with standard coats so this sweater was confusing. The woman see that I have problem and tells me: its like puting onesie on a baby 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And I'm thinking in my head: lady you are not helping me with that information 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 In her defence I was around 30 at that time so she assumed I know it 😅😅😅😅
This is just people who aren't good with kids, me included. They're strange, fragile creatures that you're constantly worried you'll break by sneezing too hard in the next room over or something.
This is giving me flashbacks from med school. Trying to get kids to open their mouths so I could look at their throats was a nightmare. Even when I succeeded, I only had like 2 seconds to look before they shut their mouths again…
Put the tongue depressor in horizontal, back between the molars. When they cry or yell, flip it sideways so it's vertical, holding the jaw open. Look quickly, then pull it out and tell them they did a GREAT job.
As a long time hospital nurse (40 yrs) I had many younger nurses tell me they couldn’t “relate “ to the kids on our adult ORTHO unit, & would I switch assignments. Weird, Cause the nurses were less than 10 years older, on average, than the kids. I guess they thought I was more of a motherly figure
@@hoopdoop4079*shrug* it's the right range for a large age gap sibling or a cousin. Not everyone will have a 10 years younger relative they see often, but it's pretty common.
I had kind of an opposite experience. I was the patient at an ER and my husband and I had provided a letter from my psychologist as I always do when I first got there to explain I have severe ptsd due to multiple rapes in a relationship some years earlier explaining that being in vulnerable circumstances like being examined by doctors and having to is very stressful for me with a couple strategies that help me and that I also fear upsetting a dr with my reactions as I don’t want them to feel they are traumatising me and therefore feel traumatised themselves, especially men, I don’t want them to feel bad. I was presenting with extremely painful and swollen glands in my groin so examination was gonna be close to the genital area so as you’d imagine more nervous because of that. Anyway I was given a gown by the nurse and said to change into it with nothing on underneath because of the area of the problem and I asked her to close the curtain and she joked “it’s nothing we haven’t seen before” I completely freaked and collapsed sobbing and my husband was really angry and said “how can you say that after the letter from the psychologist” turns out no one had read it so the nurse was extremely apologetic and said she’d be back and closed the curtain. 10 minutes later in walks a dr who introduced himself and said he was from paediatrics and said he was sorry for what happened at the hospital and in my past, he’d read the letter and assured me that the nurse was ok and he’d had a lot of experience with kids who’d been sexually abused so he understood the impacts of that kind of trauma and I couldn’t distress him (as I said I don’t want my trauma to traumatise anyone else either) from there things were so much better and my husband and I gave him some flowers to thank him for his calming me and understanding me
What a lovely understanding doctor. It was nice of them to call him. I didn't know a peds doc could see an adult? Fancy the nurses not bothering to read the letter. Sure there busy, but i can't imagine that its everyday someone comes in with a letter from a psychiatrist.
Love this! Peds hosp here, sometimes I'll get admissions when adult ED docs cover the peds ED, and admit perfectly fine 1 month old babies.....because they're uncomfortable assessing whether or not a baby of that age is safe for discharge. I think it's kind of cute.....
I remember one time as a kid I had to get a vaccine, and I have a fear of needles. So instead of helping me calm down they had 3 people hold me down, and they still couldn’t do it until I passed out from hyperventilation
As soon as he said he's drooling and irritable I thought acute epiglottis, I hated my peds and ob rotation but it was quite informative. But I'm a nurse, I'm thinking of going back to school to become a PA tho,
I remember needing a spinal tap in 5th grade and the doctor who was not a pediatrician said “Don’t move or the needle will break in your spine and you’ll need surgery” so yeah that was fun and not at all traumatic.
Kinda reminds me of when I was misdiagnosed with strep. All the lady had to do was comfort me so I'd open my mouth again so she could do the test...though, my throat must have looked messed up purely from how much I was coughing, so it was probably a good idea to tell little me to stay home anyhow.
They doctors in my small town were a ton better than the ones I've encountered in Denver. They have zero clue on how to handle children and they just seem like they don't care as much.
When I was little I threw a chair at a nurse and kicked her over a needle, I made it out the door and down the hall before a stranger in the waiting room stopped me
For everyone out there, if your baby is crying unusually long/loud, there could be something wrong with them. Taking them into the doctor is totally acceptable.
Good doctor: How old is he? Bad doctor: 11 months Bad doctor: do you know what year it is!? Now he’s just speaking gibberish! And doesn’t know where he’s at! I absolutely lost it!!! 😂🤣😂
@@flowersinherhairI found ER doctors to be extremely dismissive of young people. I once had to bring a baby to the emergency room four times before they did any actual testing. They put her in isolation when they finally determined that she had a serious gastro intestinal infection. I was a pregnant seventeen year old at the time and if I hadn't been persistent, I would have experienced having a baby die on my watch.
@@pattygould8240 so glad that you had the wherewithal to advocate for your baby. It is hard to do, especially for young people. When you get older you don’t have a s*** to give, so it gets easier to be a PiTA and get the appropriate attention.
When i was four, i got bitten by my uncle's dog so they had to give me injections for the bite But i knew they were going to so i started crying when i saw the needle and they had to hold me down and covered my eyes. That shit traumatized me All they had to do was close my eyes before injecting me which works a lot in my childhood years

@@SkyFyre2435 truth. During a crying episode, though (like in the video), is often perfect if mom/dad/guardian can hold the little bugger still for a minute. Source: I’ve seen it first hand.
I hate going to the hospital for any type of reasons. When I was younger I had strep throat and instead of getting medicine like my cousin did, my mom had me get the shot. I was roughly 4-5 when it happened and most of it was a blur, but I saw the needle and freaked out. My mom said a nurse was there trying to pin me down and I ended up kicking her, hard. I got the shot and the next thing I remember is sniffling while limping back to my moms car with a sucker in my hand. When I was getting in 7th grade, my school required that students get a flu shot to be accepted in for the year. I went there, got my shots, and went home. It was smooth. The next day, my mom gets a call from a doctor. They gave me a wrong shot, so I had to go back and get the right one. Now that I think about it, I could probably sue the hospital for lack of care for giving me a shot that I was never supposed to get. I’m short, the hospital is the reason I have a huge fear of needles/things piercing through skin
lmaooo i’ve definitely had a minor patient freak out on me tho and it sucks when you say open your mouth please and they just refuse. for reference, kid was too old to be doing that. i spent 30 minutes calming him down over a strep test.
Pediatrics is a special world. I work at a children's hospital and was recently a patient at an adult hospital where they said I had small veins. My phlebotomy coworkers at the children's hospital think I have great veins; haha the difference between what you get accustomed to working day after day.
One time I broke my hand 3 weeks before my 18th birthday and when I arrived in the ER they insisted I had to get back on the bus and go to the children’s hospital because they “don’t treat children here”
I remember this one time where I had to take my little brother in for his shots since he was 1 and my mom couldn’t do it since she couldn’t pick anything heavy up. I also had to have my little sister get her shot since she became 8 or 9 i think. She took her shot well enough but my brother, he had to take four shots in a row. I tried distracting him with elmo on the phone but he inevitably cried and screamed, the nurse seemed a bit distraught but continued the shots to get it over with while my little sister started also crying because she saw him crying. I didn’t cry or go crazy but that was pretty stressful since I had to hold him down

The woman see that I have problem and tells me: its like puting onesie on a baby 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And I'm thinking in my head: lady you are not helping me with that information 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 In her defence I was around 30 at that time so she assumed I know it 😅😅😅😅
I am the opposite and I’m chronically afraid of hurting seniors and I’m not good with them :(
This is just people who aren't good with kids, me included. They're strange, fragile creatures that you're constantly worried you'll break by sneezing too hard in the next room over or something.
Made worse by the fact that the same child can survive a 3 story drop and then drown in a bathtub.
When you become a parent all that goes away. Kids are durable little fuckers!
@@MamaMOB yep, they're made of rubber and tungsten.
They sense your fear. Be careful 😉😄
Kids and babies are resilient as hell though
This is giving me flashbacks from med school. Trying to get kids to open their mouths so I could look at their throats was a nightmare. Even when I succeeded, I only had like 2 seconds to look before they shut their mouths again…
Bite block! They are great
Put the tongue depressor in horizontal, back between the molars. When they cry or yell, flip it sideways so it's vertical, holding the jaw open. Look quickly, then pull it out and tell them they did a GREAT job.
As a long time hospital nurse (40 yrs) I had many younger nurses tell me they couldn’t “relate “ to the kids on our adult ORTHO unit, & would I switch assignments. Weird, Cause the nurses were less than 10 years older, on average, than the kids. I guess they thought I was more of a motherly figure
*grandmotherly.
@@skitaco7068 LOL!
AH yes, because a 10 year difference makes them easier to relate. Most adults that age don't have children never taken care of one.
@@hoopdoop4079*shrug* it's the right range for a large age gap sibling or a cousin. Not everyone will have a 10 years younger relative they see often, but it's pretty common.
I had kind of an opposite experience. I was the patient at an ER and my husband and I had provided a letter from my psychologist as I always do when I first got there to explain I have severe ptsd due to multiple rapes in a relationship some years earlier explaining that being in vulnerable circumstances like being examined by doctors and having to is very stressful for me with a couple strategies that help me and that I also fear upsetting a dr with my reactions as I don’t want them to feel they are traumatising me and therefore feel traumatised themselves, especially men, I don’t want them to feel bad. I was presenting with extremely painful and swollen glands in my groin so examination was gonna be close to the genital area so as you’d imagine more nervous because of that. Anyway I was given a gown by the nurse and said to change into it with nothing on underneath because of the area of the problem and I asked her to close the curtain and she joked “it’s nothing we haven’t seen before” I completely freaked and collapsed sobbing and my husband was really angry and said “how can you say that after the letter from the psychologist” turns out no one had read it so the nurse was extremely apologetic and said she’d be back and closed the curtain. 10 minutes later in walks a dr who introduced himself and said he was from paediatrics and said he was sorry for what happened at the hospital and in my past, he’d read the letter and assured me that the nurse was ok and he’d had a lot of experience with kids who’d been sexually abused so he understood the impacts of that kind of trauma and I couldn’t distress him (as I said I don’t want my trauma to traumatise anyone else either) from there things were so much better and my husband and I gave him some flowers to thank him for his calming me and understanding me
What a lovely understanding doctor. It was nice of them to call him. I didn't know a peds doc could see an adult? Fancy the nurses not bothering to read the letter. Sure there busy, but i can't imagine that its everyday someone comes in with a letter from a psychiatrist.
im pretty sure that guy has simply never seen a child in his entire life
Love this! Peds hosp here, sometimes I'll get admissions when adult ED docs cover the peds ED, and admit perfectly fine 1 month old babies.....because they're uncomfortable assessing whether or not a baby of that age is safe for discharge. I think it's kind of cute.....
My god this is golden and so accurate!! Bargaining with infants! No one wants to hurt a kid, but in time you learn to do what you gotta do.
Him: Kid what year is it!
Baby: Yes I aged my vocal chords by 20 years to say 2021.
I remember one time as a kid I had to get a vaccine, and I have a fear of needles. So instead of helping me calm down they had 3 people hold me down, and they still couldn’t do it until I passed out from hyperventilation
Sir he’s 11 months old, of course he’s talking gibberish 😂
I'd probably do the "here comes the airplane" routine with the stick thingie they use to check the throat
As soon as he said he's drooling and irritable I thought acute epiglottis, I hated my peds and ob rotation but it was quite informative. But I'm a nurse, I'm thinking of going back to school to become a PA tho,
Do it!!!!!
"Drooling and irritable" sounds like teething 🤣
I remember needing a spinal tap in 5th grade and the doctor who was not a pediatrician said “Don’t move or the needle will break in your spine and you’ll need surgery” so yeah that was fun and not at all traumatic.
Kinda reminds me of when I was misdiagnosed with strep. All the lady had to do was comfort me so I'd open my mouth again so she could do the test...though, my throat must have looked messed up purely from how much I was coughing, so it was probably a good idea to tell little me to stay home anyhow.
This will def be me... I love kids but i never know what to say to them or what to do around them lmao🤣
They doctors in my small town were a ton better than the ones I've encountered in Denver. They have zero clue on how to handle children and they just seem like they don't care as much.
throwback to when I was a first year med student and I had to look inside the ear of a 1 year old throwing a crying fit 😰
When I was little I threw a chair at a nurse and kicked her over a needle, I made it out the door and down the hall before a stranger in the waiting room stopped me
When he said he won't open his mouth and then kid starts crying....lol get your light out you could have looked while they were screaming.
Ummm sir, when kids start crying... Great time to look in their mouths 🤦 I worked pediatrics but my kid could figure that out lol
For everyone out there, if your baby is crying unusually long/loud, there could be something wrong with them. Taking them into the doctor is totally acceptable.
This doc is hilarious! I used to work in the office of five gastroenterologists. They were never this much fun. 🤣
I lowkey thought it was like “doctors that aren’t good with kinks”
Also true 😂
Good doctor: How old is he?
Bad doctor: 11 months
Bad doctor: do you know what year it is!? Now he’s just speaking gibberish! And doesn’t know where he’s at!
I absolutely lost it!!! 😂🤣😂
10/10 can relate. I hated working in pediatrics.
This is so me when I have kid patients. Thankfully my coworkers will take over if I need, which is almost always lol.
Doctor: "You should intubate him."
Bro that's a rare 1st gen iPhone. I want it lmao
The way he’s just casually using the first generation iPhone though lmao.
"Hey kid, what year is it?" I lost my shit right there!
It seems like Tylenol would help if he’s crying and has a sore throat lol
But read carefully for PROPER DOSE!!!! Babies don’t need very much!
I would probably be the doctor with no clue on how to treat kids 😂😂
How it actually went:
Kid:*acting fine and very healthy*
Doctor:”what kind of MONSTER ARE YOU!!!”
I'd be scared if someone that incompetent actually got hired at a hospital, its even worse if its a freaking pediatric lol
Are Pediatric rotations mandatory for emergency and family med residency?
Yes, they all have to do peds rotations. The family med doctors are usually great with kids; ER docs, it varies.
@@flowersinherhairI found ER doctors to be extremely dismissive of young people. I once had to bring a baby to the emergency room four times before they did any actual testing. They put her in isolation when they finally determined that she had a serious gastro intestinal infection. I was a pregnant seventeen year old at the time and if I hadn't been persistent, I would have experienced having a baby die on my watch.
@@pattygould8240 so glad that you had the wherewithal to advocate for your baby. It is hard to do, especially for young people. When you get older you don’t have a s*** to give, so it gets easier to be a PiTA and get the appropriate attention.
@@Fiery154 she wasn't my baby but I can't imagine how devastating it would have been for me if she'd died on my watch.
Yes
Heeyyyyyyy , I’m studying to be a pediatrician :)
Omg u always make me ctfu. Thanks Dr. Schmidt. I appreciate your comedy so much!!❤❤❤
“Like maybe a patient identification label???” had me on the floor 😂
When i was four, i got bitten by my uncle's dog so they had to give me injections for the bite
But i knew they were going to so i started crying when i saw the needle and they had to hold me down and covered my eyes. That shit traumatized me
All they had to do was close my eyes before injecting me which works a lot in my childhood years
They did the same shit too me expect it was just a vaccine that’s probably why I lose my shit when someone covers my eyes when I don’t expect it
How would he know he is a sore throat or not?
Lol he said the kid was talking gibberish. 😂🤣😂
“transfer for crying!?” LMAOO
Love it!
It’s CrYiNg WhAt dO I Do?????
Take the opportunity to look in his mouth!!!
Yay for Missouri!! I always feel bad when my kids are difficult for the doctors
and I thought I was bad with kids, but this guy takes it to a WHOLE 'nother level
I really hope this is exaggerated satire,
Trust me, it completely is
Your being dramatic
Parent hold the child back to the practioner.
Dips tot exclaiming whooo is also Helpful
Doc is sitting facing parent.
Be fast! Mouth pops open w Giggles
Oh & all I have? Is a High School Diploma & a Cosmetology license
That's not going to be enough time to get a good look at the back of the kid's throat.
@@SkyFyre2435 truth. During a crying episode, though (like in the video), is often perfect if mom/dad/guardian can hold the little bugger still for a minute. Source: I’ve seen it first hand.
@@katerinaadriah 🙄 I have used this many times.
You put the tongue depresser in.
"okay, why don't you just transfer him here" 😂😂
"This kid is speaking gibberish"
Lmao
As the daughter of a children's nurse I can confirm this is accurate
I hate going to the hospital for any type of reasons.
When I was younger I had strep throat and instead of getting medicine like my cousin did, my mom had me get the shot. I was roughly 4-5 when it happened and most of it was a blur, but I saw the needle and freaked out. My mom said a nurse was there trying to pin me down and I ended up kicking her, hard. I got the shot and the next thing I remember is sniffling while limping back to my moms car with a sucker in my hand.
When I was getting in 7th grade, my school required that students get a flu shot to be accepted in for the year. I went there, got my shots, and went home. It was smooth. The next day, my mom gets a call from a doctor. They gave me a wrong shot, so I had to go back and get the right one. Now that I think about it, I could probably sue the hospital for lack of care for giving me a shot that I was never supposed to get.
I’m short, the hospital is the reason I have a huge fear of needles/things piercing through skin
Childrens hospital is truly incredible, angels work there
"This kid is gibberish" 😂😂
As a child I often liked doing to see my doctor as I knew after him and my mum talked I would get chocolate buttons and a sticker.
lmaooo i’ve definitely had a minor patient freak out on me tho and it sucks when you say open your mouth please and they just refuse. for reference, kid was too old to be doing that. i spent 30 minutes calming him down over a strep test.
Pediatrics is a special world. I work at a children's hospital and was recently a patient at an adult hospital where they said I had small veins. My phlebotomy coworkers at the children's hospital think I have great veins; haha the difference between what you get accustomed to working day after day.
"he is crying now, what do I do? " Now look in the mouth actually 😂😂
One thing this channel taught me is that doctor's network alot and all of 'em are like "I don't know you but I will help you"
Truth
One time I broke my hand 3 weeks before my 18th birthday and when I arrived in the ER they insisted I had to get back on the bus and go to the children’s hospital because they “don’t treat children here”
"Maybe soda" lol that was good.
When I was little they just had 3 doctors come in to hold me down so they could stick the popsicle stick on the back of my throat.
So much maternal anger in this one video 😂
Damn when he said no clue he meant NO CLUE😂
I usually don't laugh at these shorts but the what year is it got me.
This is exactly how id be I've held a baby twice and immediately handed it back lol
Now he's drooling 😆😅..
Dr Schmidt is gonna be a great dad.hed be calling the er every 5 minutes to speak to everyone
Lmaooo 11 months, asks the baby "sir can you tell me what date it is"
Lol I work in family medicine, see mostly adults and the elderly, but this is exactly how I feel when a child comes in 🥴
😂😂😂 this would be me as a nurse working in pediatrics ... I’ll pick geriatrics anytime
“Not good with kids”? That’s me!
At 11 months and drooling sounds like the kid is teething. Dr. Grandma
I remember this one time where I had to take my little brother in for his shots since he was 1 and my mom couldn’t do it since she couldn’t pick anything heavy up. I also had to have my little sister get her shot since she became 8 or 9 i think. She took her shot well enough but my brother, he had to take four shots in a row. I tried distracting him with elmo on the phone but he inevitably cried and screamed, the nurse seemed a bit distraught but continued the shots to get it over with while my little sister started also crying because she saw him crying. I didn’t cry or go crazy but that was pretty stressful since I had to hold him down
"yea the kid started screaming and crying so I gave him 10mg of Dilaudid and I've never seen a calmer kid since"
I think I had a similar pediatrician when I bridged puberty. Never saw another doctor until 19! HA HA HA!
He's just speaking jiberish!
LMAO
Hilarious because my son is at that age, cries, drools and speaks gibberish 😅
