Tips for examining children

Since I’ve passed paediatrics now I thought I’d share my tips on examining kids! Feel free to add any of yours.

- Engage the child first, before doing anything. If they’re wearing a spiderman t-shirt, ask about spiderman! If they’re in school uniform, ask them what their favourite subject is! Etc.

- Don’t ask ‘can I examine you’, because if they say no and you still have to do it, you lose their trust. Instead say ‘I’m going to examine you’, in a nice friendly way! 

- If you have time, try to show that whatever you’re doing isn’t that scary by doing it on their teddy or parent first. 

- Again try to engage them in what you’re doing. E.g. some kids will love to listen to their own heart if you let them.

- Be opportunistic. Usually there’s a fairly strict order to do an examination in, that you’ll stick to. This goes out the window a bit with paeds, because kids prefer not to cooperate with you. So if they suddenly become very quiet, swoop in there and listen to their chest! 

- Do the worst thing last. For example in a respiratory/ENT exam it’s usually the throat exam that kids HATE and will start crying at. Don’t do it first and make the whole exam hell!

- And finally, distract them with something if you can

Please reblog this if you’re still an active Medblr! I’d like to follow more of you, and I feel like a lot of the big medblrs aren’t very active anymore. And say what year in med school you are and maybe country? I know some people prefer to stay mostly anonymous.

NEW FRIENDS!

what's the hardest thing about med school?

Constantly questioning if I know enough. 

And then realizing that I don’t.   

Sometimes it’s a tad overwhelming. 

I’ve had to learn how to accept my ignorance and move forward to make sure I know more today than I did yesterday.

Medicine is such an expansive field that you can’t be an expert in everything. Medical school is just one step on the stairway of life so obviously no one is going to be perfect. Even once we graduate we still have so much to learn. I’m sure that I have learned tons since I’ve started, but some days I feel like a blank slate.

It works though. I feel calmer afterwards.

u cant cure sadnesses with a shower but honestly there is no purer place to suffer

Just started and finished this book today and I'm in love!

My overall rating: 4.5/5

*spoiler alert* The only drawback was that I felt that the ending was a bit rushed. Bahi's death was a little sudden and I didn't have enough time to adjust to his loss before getting thrust into all the fighting. I do wish there was more to the scene between Amani and her brother. I'd have liked more elaboration of the scene when Ahmed claimed his land.

Otherwise, I loved it. My fave character, no doubt, is Amani!
