There are moments when children will refuse to follow your orders. They may refuse medicines or may refuse to undergo certain procedures because they are afraid of being in pain or because they don't like the taste of the medicine. If you find yourself in such a predicament, remember to be patient. You should know how to calm their troubled souls by using words of encouragement.
A pediatrician is not a doctor to just one or two patients. As you begin to make a name for yourself, it is only natural to expect more clients to come knocking at your door. So as not to feel overwhelmed by all the attention, you have to be good at keeping tabs on your patients and their families. Knowing how to interact with young patients by learning their personal data will help you appear trustworthy to the children.
Whatever the situation may be, it is important for a pediatrician to be level-headed. If a patient's chances of survival are grim, for example, the pediatrician must know how to break the news gently to the child's family.
