[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean are there tons of people who WANT to dedicate the next 40 yrs of their lives to ear infections and having to make small talk with 4 year olds??[/quote]

Pediatrics is very rewarding. Before working in primary care, I worked in the pediatric ICU. You wouldn't believe how many kids are there for preventable reasons. It all comes back to primary care.[/quote]

Unfortunately capitalism doesn't reward preventative care. Pediatricians can prevent many chronic diseases and ensure that kids enter adulthood healthy but healthy doesn't make the health care system money. Healthy doesn't lead to more surgeries and expensive hospital stays. We have our priorities all wrong.[/quote]
When I lived abroad, you had nurse midwives for labor and delivery, also for check ups
Visits to a nurse for shots

I do not need a person with the background of a pediatrician to read a chart and tell me my baby is not obese

Any Dr can help a young kid with a cough or an ear infections
Pediatrician is for more baby, young child related issues. Like if your really was special needs[/quote]
