For mom, the most important thing is for her baby to be healthy. But the parents come down with a lot of advice, superstitions, criticism that it is difficult to keep calm. And how can you stay calm when it comes to the health of your baby. Such questions can be answered only by doctors, so in search of truth, it is to them that mothers and dads go.
How to choose a doctor for a child?
But keep in mind, doctors are different, so their advice and diagnoses also differ. Before you buy a medicine in a pharmacy, you need to determine what the attending physician represents? Theoretically there are such varieties of therapists:
Pediatrician ordinary, shovel
This pediatrician is not going to ruin your baby. He can be aware of all innovations, works with the latest equipment, but tries to adhere to old proven methods.
Pros - such doctors have an impressive experience, the drugs that he recommends, are tested by generations, the advice is quite adequate.
Cons - if after the collapse of the Union this doctor has learned nothing, except how to cooperate with different pharmaceutical companies, then in a difficult case, one should not turn to him. Can you think of other options?
Indifferent pediatrician
It can be easily calculated, he does not even remember the medical history of the child, let alone his name. After a long conversation, he may ask: "What hurts?"
Pros - if he is a professional, he will immediately after a few questions give out treatment options, give out a picture of the disease and make a diagnosis. Can calm very nervous parents if something serious happens to the child.
Cons - this doctor can not find psychotherapeutic support. Such doctors need to be treated only if you know that this is a good doctor. Maybe it's worth encouraging such a doctor financially and after that he will be more attentive?
Severe pediatrician
If the nurse calls you the second hour, promises trouble, if you do not bring your baby to the inoculation? You can be congratulated, you have come to a good bona fide doctor.
Pros. Severe pediatrician brings the case to completion, until he is satisfied that the child is healthy, there will be no peace for the parents. The medical card is filled correctly, all vaccinations and tests are done on time, all specialists are passed. This pediatrician is good for lazy parents.
Minuses. You have to be careful, before you pass the cross on dispensaries and laboratories or send a child to the hospital, think, do you need this? Or the pediatrician simply exaggerates.
Advanced pediatrician
Such a doctor should not be educated about the latest developments, Suslov's trials, homeopathy, natural education. He knows all this. And he himself can recommend something that you will not come to mind.
Pros. Openness and flexibility of thinking, which is not so bad already. Individual approach.
Minuses. His price. If this is an excellent specialist, it will not cost you dearly. When communicating with an advanced pediatrician, you need to pay attention to how many years he has practice and how much he is categorical in the way of treatment and in the diagnosis. After all, fanaticism is a bad omen.
The ideal pediatrician
He will listen to you attentively, ask many questions, examine the child, give him tests, calm and smile affably to the child. Idyll?
Pros. If such a doctor observes the child and just as well treats you, then you are just lucky. Trust in a doctor is more important than different recommendations. In addition, finding a common language with the attending physician is a rare luck.
Minuses. If the child is capricious, with snot and temperature, crying in bed, and the doctor and mom are trying to treat him together and at the same time they are talking "for life", then it is unlikely that something will come out of it.
Probably, in nature there are other kinds of pediatricians. But do not forget that in any case, only the parents are responsible for the health of the child. After all, except for you, no one knows him better. Be friendly with good doctors, because they are also people. And do not hesitate to express your wishes or doubts.
