Pediatrics

I was certain I would not be able to work in a pediatric setting. This was because, I had very few experiences being around children for long periods of time and the minimum exposure I had were awkwardly silent, uncomfortable encounters for both me and the child. Therefore, when I heard about this fieldwork experience I was not looking forward to it. However, upon completing each meeting session and the observation, my perspective on being a pediatric occupational therapy have changed. During…

Initially, pediatric patient experience was intimidating, stressful and haunted by the grievous of failure until the statement of “there is no way anyone can to fail day”. That statement alone allowed me to relax and focus on truly immersing myself in the experience without fear of detrimental judgment. In retrospect, each pediatric experience ascertained on this particular date provided invaluable insight into my capabilities and deficiencies as a nursing student. I was able to establish a…

My wife and I moved to Massachusetts, so our child could receive care at one of the best pediatric hospitals, Boston Children’s Hospital (Harder, B., & Comarow, 2018). I do not understand why the pediatric cardiologist is becoming increasingly concerned with us allowing our child to refuse blood products for his upcoming open-heart surgery to repair a congenital defect. The purpose of this letter is to inform the medical board of the physician’s obligation to preserve our religious beliefs while…

The day was spent shadowing the doctors and medical students in the pediatric emergency department. Last year, I recalled the first year SEP students observed the adult wing of the emergency department. The similarities between the two sets of populations were interesting. Both sets of patients included individuals with aliments suited for a visit with a primary care physician. This introduces a question about why the ED receives such a high quantity of these cases.
