Child doctors Part 1 (Teacher: Michael)
I don't think our family doctor liked me very much when I was
Select
a
the
youngster. I cannot really blame him. Whenever he had to come to see me he used to say as he came in, "Where is Robert
Select
a
the
Devil?", that was not even my name! He always kicked my bricks down, trod on my favourite railway engine, put me to bed - and prescribed castor oil and
Select
a
the
milk diet. He said he was not going to hurt me - but usually did, with
Select
a
the
variety of shiny, evil-looking instruments which he produced from bulging pockets.
Judging by
Select
a
the
children I treat, very few of them these days seem to object to
Select
a
the
doctor examining them. I may be
Select
a
the
bit of
Select
a
the
nuisance, but that is all. I think this is largely because youngsters these days are far more used to seeing
Select
a
the
doctor. And, of course, children are much healthier than they were. They are protected against so many complaints by inoculations. They are better fed and housed, too.
It is very important to get on well with children. Contact with them should be free from fright or fight. If, during
Select
a
the
interview, you have to examine them to
Select
a
the
accompaniment of yells and screams, you are very likely to overlook some signs of importance and make
Select
a
the
wrong diagnosis.
Children have four main fears when seeing
Select
a
the
doctor, "What will he do? Will it hurt? Am I very bad? Will he send me to hospital?". Doctors and parents should never tell
Select
a
the
child that "it will not hurt" if it is going to be
Select
a
the
bit painful or uncomfortable. To do so will destroy all confidence in
Select
a
the
'medicine man'!
