Child doctors Part 1 (Teacher: Michael)
I don't think our family doctor liked me very much when I was
Select
that
this
the
a
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
that
this
the
a
Devil?",
Select
that
this
the
a
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
that
this
the
a
milk diet. He said he was not going to hurt me - but usually did, with
Select
that
this
the
a
variety of shiny, evil-looking instruments which he produced from bulging pockets.
Judging by
Select
that
this
the
a
children I treat, very few of them these days seem to object to
Select
that
this
the
a
doctor examining them. I may be
Select
that
this
the
a
bit of
Select
that
this
the
a
nuisance, but
Select
that
this
the
a
is all. I think
Select
that
this
the
a
is largely because youngsters these days are far more used to seeing
Select
that
this
the
a
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
that
this
the
a
interview, you have to examine them to
Select
that
this
the
a
accompaniment of yells and screams, you are very likely to overlook some signs of importance and make
Select
that
this
the
a
wrong diagnosis.
Children have four main fears when seeing
Select
that
this
the
a
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
that
this
the
a
child
Select
that
this
the
a
"it will not hurt" if it is going to be
Select
that
this
the
a
bit painful or uncomfortable. To do so will destroy all confidence in
Select
that
this
the
a
'medicine man'!
