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