Ah, well. Emergency Medicine is where my heart lies. I know its years down the road, but I would LOVE to work in the children's ER...

Children's ER.......I wouldnt be able to do that. I LOVE kids and I LOVE my pediatrics rotations but any procedures that make them cry I couldnt handle that or just seeing them cry because they are so miserable from diarrhea. I watched a circumcison today in clinicals in the neonatal nursery and cried along with the baby boy
I'll spare you all the description of that here, but I dont get where that doesnt hurt them.....good thing they dont remember that!
It also pains me and makes me furious to no end when children come in and they have been abused. I also took care of two newborns today, one of which we didnt think was going to make it because they were born addicted meth. I also consider that abuse. One baby, the mother had left the hospital on friday and she hasnt been seen since. That baby doesnt even have a name
They should shoot the mother when they find her.
