I used to think I wanted to be a pediatrician - they are doctors that deal with the medical care of infants, children, and teens.  How about you?
I wanted to be a doctor at one point but not anymore.
With all the craziness in the healthcare field these days, trying to figure out Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Administration, etc.. it seems like new dr's are dwindling.
Agreed, it is such a complicated and difficult environment to deal with.
I liked the idea of pediatrics because they can work either in a hospital, as a primary care physican, or even in specialties like neonatology.  I thought it would be interesting and rewarding.
I can see that, also working with kids would be quite rewarding too.
They actually recommend that people be under the care of a pediatrican until they are 21!  My daughter just turned 18 and she said she feels weird going to a kids doctor - LOL!
Really? I'm 19 and I really don't think going to the pediatrician makes sense haha.
That's exactly what she said!  I mean even the word pediatrics means healer of children.  I think she can go to the regular adult doctor now.
Exactly! The environment just doesn't seem appropriate for an adult haha.
