How can I be more appealing to my child patients?
Any healthcare professional can tell you that working with children can be either a joy or heartache depending on the child and the day. Going to see the doctor can be very frightening for a child – they’re in an unfamiliar place, talking to a stranger with lots of odd-looking, scary instruments hanging around. A good technique many professionals use to ease a child’s fears in the doctor’s office is to communicate at their level and explain everything that is going on in detail.
One of the most commonly used instruments is the stethoscope. It allows the practitioner to monitor asthma patients, detect murmurs and diagnose upper respiratory infections, among many, many other things. A doctor might refer to this as a “magic listener,” for example, just to make it sound more kid-friendly. They might also have instruments, like the Pediatric Adscope Lite Stethoscope, in different colors to make them look less scary to a child. Having kid-friendly instruments around the office will make them feel more at home and, in turn, be more cooperative, so that you can effectively treat your patient
