Best clinic ever


Petite Pedia Plots #144

On an extremely tiring and difficult Saturday clinic, I was finally down to my last patient.  This 7 year old boy has been my patient ever since.

A couple of months ago, he was bitten by a dog and was brought to thr ER for anti-rabies.  His Mom aaid he cried so loudly in the ER, not because of the pain, but beause he wanted me to be the one to give him the injection.  Every time they’d visit the ER to complete the shots, he kept saying, “Where’s my Tita Doc? I want my Tita Doc!” accompanied by a lot of wailing.

This time, Mom brought him to the clinic for his flu shot.  Normally, kids who undergo rabies series develop a phobia of needles, so I was expecting a difficult time before giving the vaccine. When he came in, he hurriedly gave me a tight embrace and seemed so glad to see me.. No crying and no fuss during the flu shot.  As he was leaving the room, he shouted,”Tita Doc, you’re the best ...... EVER!!!”

Best Saturday clinic ever too.

Guessing Game

Daughter Duties 26 Photo from www.leadingtolearning.com During dinner last night, Mom was telling me about this TV soap actress that Mom and Dad both like. Both of my parents have been racking their brains for about a wk (?!)   and they haven't come up with her name yet. So, I try to help them out.  Me: Is she young or old?  D and M: Middle-age! Me: Is she someone I have watched? D and M:  "Yes yes!"  Me: Award-winning?  D and M:"Yes! Yes! She always plays the Mom in soap oper as!" Me: Hmmm, Jaclyn Jose?  D and M: "Nooooo!" It took me about an hour and going on the internet and showing them pictures to find out who she was.  It was Cherry Pie Pecache. After that, Mom again said,"I don't like this certain TV host/actress". And she proudly tells me that the host's name is "Austin!" Mom, I don't know anyone called "Austin" on local TV!!! And so, we go through the whole guessing game again.
