One of The most embarrassing moments of my life up to this point, and I don’t embarrass easily, happened when my son was four. Just before he was diagnosed with ADHD. We were sitting in the clinic’s waiting room, waiting for one of his Ped’s appointments. It was during winter, and I had a stroller, his diaper bag and him to carry.

Clinical Reflection: Prioritization I walked into the emergency department for the clinical observation expecting to see nurses and doctors in an organized chaos, hustling, running, and bumping into each other in their effort to provide life sustaining critical care. Too, I was hoping to see George Clooney performing advance cardiac life support to a patient who was coding, like a scene straight out of the television show. However, that was not what I saw. Instead, I found how calm and…
