children of pediatricians
in the last 2 days, i have seen 3 children of doctor/medical student parents.
in clinic, i saw the toddler of a medical student. with an ear infection. *already on antibiotics!*
in the ER tonight, i saw the toddler of another medical student with a stomach virus. and a baby of a family medicine resident with a viral infection.
all those kids?
definitely did not need to be seen by another doctor.
which brings me to thinking. what kind of parent will i be?
first of all. i clearly love babies. but i can NOT imagine myself having a baby any time soon, if ever. seriously.
secondly. i don't think i would ever take my kids to the emergency room. unless they like, were dying of meningitis.
and even then, it better be bacterial meningitis. we can deal with viral at home.
