What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  understanding the behaviour of different children, the illnesses and the organisms or reasons of these illnessses, is a very interesting territory. I feel, clinical prediction of the type of organism or the illness from just a history has lots to analyse and research. once we know the problem, we know how to tackle it.
What do you like about this subject?  The subject is vast but understanding can be made extremely simple if you dont follow complex reports ditto. whats more important is the appearance and behaviour with clinical details noticed by most parents. EVERY PROBLEM COMES WITH A SOLUTION !
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  Parents is the key for treatment of the child! Medicines is nt the only treatment for every problem, many times we need to understand the disease or problem and support our child accordingly to help him be best to fight with illness.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  Medicine is considered to be highly subjective field with all grey areas. I disagree, I believe medicine is a black and white subject, its we who dont know where to draw or demarcate the line.
