Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Caring for children requires skills, knowledge and experience, but above all, it requires an innate love and a kindly disposition; it demands unlimited powers of observation and an astute sense of detection; finally, the Pediatrician must be, at all times, sensitive to the needs of the often panicky parents.

What do you like about this subject? I like the way children heal" usually, very fast!

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? We are all students throughout life. I live to see my patients get well and smile back at me (and at their parents) once again.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject Nothing of that sort!

2008-11-19 Sinus Infection with High Fever: I think that it is okay for the child to continue running fever for a few more days, provided he is improving on other fronts like pain, headache, cough, runny nose etc. Otherwise, it may be time to re-assess...

2008-11-17 My kid has persistent fever and drop in platelet count: Yes, I think he is going worse than before. Why did you not call me at the number I had given you a missed call from? Please consider taking second opinion from a qualified neonatologist and a pediatric...
