You’re not just managing fever, rashes, or growth charts. You’re navigating through:
– Parents who’ve read 47 blogs and now think teething causes pneumonia
– Grandparents who insist “we never needed vaccines in our time”
– And toddlers who are suddenly Olympic athletes the second you try to examine them
You’ll spend 20 minutes calming a parent down, only for them to say, “But the homeopathy doctor said…”
You’ll miss lunch because one newborn had a cough.
And still, you’ll smile, reassure, educate, and document — because every small victory in peds feels worth it.
But let’s be honest:
Pediatrics isn’t “easier” because they’re kids.
It’s harder because they’re tiny, fragile, and too precious
to mess up.
