I'm halfway through my term in Paediatrics and I must say I'm enjoying it a lot more than adult medicine. The only part I'm not enjoying is the umpteen number of paperwork I have to get signed off on as well as the lectures and tutorials. I'm the kind of guy who learns more when I am asked to do something rather than sit passively in a room and absorb knowledge. I a couple of weeks, I have my paediatrics exams and I'm really at a loss of what to focus on. Paediatrics is like a whole new branch of medicine.
Why do I enjoy paediatrics? Cos' I get to play with the kids with talking to them/ their parents. Fine, I'm a big kid. 
I can make the most ridiculous faces and sounds and get away with it. I get to play with the nice toys in the wards and clinics. Call me crazy 
! And I think kids are the cutest! No matter how bad your day is, kids can do the darnest thing and you'll just crack up or just simply smile.
How about the parents, you say? True some parents can be quite a pain in the ass but most of them are just anxious parents. If you can help alleviate their anxiety even by 1%, they are more than grateful. Sometimes, they just want someone to tell them they are not crazy/ hallucinating.
