Sat in the Asthma clinic today and it convinces me that I really want to work with kids in the future. Kids have the most infectious smiles and laughters. Saw this pair of brothers who did were grinning throughout the entire consultation (though I have no idea why they were grinning
) This other 10 month old infant was just babbling incoherent sounds throughout the consult... But hey she sounded amused for some reason again...
I'm also amazed by the working attitudes of the people running the respiratory tests. They really know how to handle the kids really well... How they got the kids to cooperate to do the lung function test (involves the kids blowing out really fast and as long as they can) is amazing. They made it into a game for the kids so that the kids don't feel stressed doing it... And when it came to testing skin allergy, other than the occasional whimper, the kids just sat there quietly and allow them to use a small blade to scratch their skin. I'm impressed!!!
