SPAIN. - (AGENCIALAVOZ.ORG) From my point of view, to be a good pediatrician, you need not only an adequate level of technical and scientific knowledge of childcare and children's illnesses, for prevention and therapy, also an integral concept child.
Not just your gut problems, heart or kidney but also a conception of the child as an individual, whose biography of health is strongly influenced by life itself, for their social, emotional, nutritional, and not only by the absence or presence of infections or other organic diseases.
Undoubtedly, the pediatrician needs to be a good coach in his area of \u200b\u200bexpertise, a professional scholar who keep their knowledge up to date, the only way to apply advances in prevention, diagnosis and treatment. This requires a willingness to stay 'up', but also investment in time and money to keep up. Attendance at training courses, conferences, purchase of magazines scientific books and navigation or searching for reliable medical information through Internet, not always free.
Some physicians, especially those working in hospitals, collect and offer continuously updated information through clinical sessions, seminars or simply by asking or listening to the views of colleagues who have at hand. But others, most of the doctors responsible for the health of children, pediatricians and family physicians in primary care, neighborhoods or villages, have to make a considerable personal effort (and often economic) to keep 'the day '.
In general, employers, public or private institutions generally do not devote enough resources so that their doctors are constantly updated and trained.
But maintaining a good technical-scientific level, being essential, is not enough. Because not enough to know much about diabetes, celiac disease, congenital heart disease or disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is also necessary to know the social and human conditions of the patient. The child is not only a heart, intestine or pancreas patient, who feels and suffers is the brain, the child is an individual who lives, grows, suffers or enjoys not only influenced by these bodies sick or healthy, also for their social, economic, emotional and educational.
of little use in the diagnosis of celiac disease, diabetes or ADHD if the degree of compliance or adherence to treatment may be periodic or totally failed, either for economic, educational or social. Also, many of the diseases and symptoms in children are of social origin. Consequently, treating the symptom and not the cause, not only does not solve the problem, but sometimes it becomes chronic.
Doctors who care for children, pediatricians or not, must have a social and human sensitivity that allows them to see their patients in a holistic manner, within their cultural world, social, family and ethnicity. Serves not only, therefore, make the diagnosis, this is obviously essential, it should also be involved in knowing the origin of organic disease or not and their solution. For example, a girl who suffers from 'bullying' (bullying) develop psychosomatic symptoms such as dizziness, vomiting, weakness, or stomach pains, whose treatment is only effective when they caused the problem go away, not these fake medicines for ailments. In these cases, if the causes are social rather than organic, speaking and listening is more healing than prescribed.
In recent years, we are experiencing a severe crisis economic conditions are affecting children. A recent U.S. study has found an increasing number of abused children as the level of unemployment. Abuse is not just physical, it is especially not the child needs to provide food, health, comfort, education and affection. The environment, especially in the first years of life strongly influences health and disease, how it manifests and resolves it in the future consequences, not only physical growth, including in the balance maturity and learning ability.
Ultimately, from my point of view, to be a good doctor for children, it is necessary not only have a good technical and scientific level, also requires an integrated vision, social and human patient. In my opinion, people should demand this type of pediatricians, more studying, listening and speaking to the prescriber or fill out papers for analysis.
