How can I get a scholarship to Stanford?
Filed in The Category Pediatric Services
I am in 9th grade and I am taking all Honors classes in my school. My average is a 99.50 and I am great at Science and Math, however I got a 91 in Bio. Stanford has been my dream school forever, because I want to be a Pediatric Neurosurgeon. I am on Mock Trial, Art Club, a Russian Club, Swim Team (outside the school, I have my own coach), and in the spring I’ll be on the tennis varsity team. I didn’t start community service yet, but I will. What I want to know is the components needed to get INTO Stanford WITH a scholarship. For example, what grades do I need, what SAT scores, what attendance (I don’t have a great attendance, but I learn), what extracurricular activities, etc…
please help?

Pediatric Oncology Questions?
Filed in The Category Pediatric Care
Hey Everyone!!
So I’ve wanted to be a pediatric oncologist for awhile now. But I have a few questions(:
1) What is the BEST school for pediatric oncology?
2) What will the pay look like now because of Obama’s Health Care Bill.
and 3) Is it possible to have kids with kind of job? I understand the hours can be crazy- but is it doable?
Thank you so much in advance.

Calling the pediatrician with questions about eating?
Filed in The Category Pediatrician Recommendations
Is it crazy to call the ped about what my daughter is eating (or in my case NOT eating)?
I have some questions about their recommendations. I want them to give me some insight…I am at my wits end with all this crap.
My 5 month old will hardly take a bottle-if she does, she doesn’t finish it. She is only getting around 20-24 ounces of formula a day. She will not take more. It is a struggle to get her to take that.
As far as solids go, the ped did tell me I could start feeding her at 4 months. I did give her cereal, but that filled her up too much, so we stopped that. I have given her fruits and veggies, but only 2-3 times a week. I thought the reason she didn’t take her bottles was from eating solids. So I stopped ALL solids for over a week, and she still doesn’t want her formula. She LOVES her sippy cup (I have given her some water in it), but I can’t get her to take all her ounces of formula from a sippy cup. She does have a taste of whatever we are eating (when she reaches for it), like potato and bread and peas. She never eats table food off a spoon though. Just either with her hand or from my finger.
So, with all this sickness going around at the doc’s office, do you think they would have time to talk me through what to do here? I don’t want to bother them with crazy stupid stuff.
**Sorry, I didn’t realize this was so long**
Yeah, she is meeting her milestones-she is happy, and seems to be very healthy. She is around 16 1/2 pounds and is probably 25-26 inches long. So, she is proportionate.
Medical Schools: Primary Care vs. Research?
Filed in The Category Pediatric Care
Can anyone please explain the difference between Primary Care and Research medical schools? Also, in your opinion, which type of school would be best for an aspiring pediatric oncologist?
I am an RN who wants to get out of direct patient care work. I have nursed for three years.?
Filed in The Category Pediatric Nursing
I have worked medsurg/oncology/CCU and some Peds. I have an ADN will complete my BSN in May 2012. I want a different job, any recommendations on what line I should try? I have applied for clinical manager positions in two places with home health agencies. I have not done home care so after getting me to the interview they both said “oh” well would you like to do home care, which I do not. I seem to be getting answers like ,”your only 24 or you don’t have enough experience yet.” I have a small child and currently work nights! It is getting tough.

my mom who is also my pediatrician, wants me to drug my baby to sleep?
Filed in The Category Pediatrician Recommendations
my baby is very colickly, its been really diffcult to the extent that i passed out a few times from extreme exhuastion when i first had her (i also had a c-section and left the hospital the next day) as nobody was around to help me, my mom is a big shot pediatrician who’s terribly busy and my husband was having problems at work so i was kinda on my own but anyway i managed and i’m managing much better now and most nights i sooth her and we get to sleep for like 6 hrs which is fine by me. anyway i live in egypt, so healthcare is not really upto a great standard but all my family are doctors and my mom is my ped. her recommendation for my baby’s colic is drugs. wether colic drops, gripe water, i dont mind these as they are mostly safe but they dont work so she started advising me to give her antihestaminics to make her sleep. she even bought me one that contains a major tranquilizer. she says it’s perfectly alright and they do it all the time with very diffcult babies and she wont get used to it or anything she’ll outgrow it by the fourth months and i should help her to rest and rest myself. i’m totally against drugging my baby and i dont do it, i use soothing techniques and i try very very hard and she’s getting better. anyway, does this mean my mom is a bad doctor? should i not trust her anymore? its very diffcult for me as she’s one of the best and most famous ped. here and i cant go anywhere else cuz she is bound to find out and it would be disastrous between us and she’s the only one i have even though she’s very busy and doesnt really help so much but she’s the only one who is actually there apart from my husband ofcourse..and i dont wanna be judgmental but i think thats how she dealt with my crying and my lack of sleep when i was a baby so she insists i do the same..what should i do??
sadie, i don’t get what is odd in my profile..she did stay with me the first two weeks because i was very much in need of any help, she had the flue, was terribly busy, only saw her at night when she came to tidy up abit then sleep and she tried her best not to give the flu to my baby but it just happened so i dont really blame her for it she was only tryin to be there for me when there wasnt anyone else..also i didnt say i cant “ask” other doctors, i did ask a collegues of my mom in passing when they call to congratulate…but not “officially” asking…

Do you know anything about children’s vision therapy?
Filed in The Category Pediatric Therapy
We brought my son to a pediatric eye doctor today for his first full eye exam. The reason was that he is having a hard time with letter recognition and focusing on paperwork. The results were that he has 20/20 vision, but his eyes are not tracking properly. They said that he would need 10-15 weeks of vision therapy. We of course want the best for our son, however they said that insurance will not cover the 145.00 a session cost and like most people these days we struggle as it is. I want to make sure that this is something that is really going to help him, and not just one of those money making scams. When we asked if the therapy would correct the problem, they couldn’t give us a definite answer. They said more than likely it would help but there were no guarantees. For us to fathom spending almost 2000.00 in ten weeks on something that may or may not even help the problem is a hard concept to grasp. Has anyone else tried vision therapy? Has it worked for you?
I know I am being overly skeptical about the money scamming idea, but these days it seems like you have to be.
