The magic of a few stickers...

[unclejimbo]

At work, had a couple of kids to x-ray. Both did well for me, but one had his blood drawn right after I was finished... Bummer. :(

Well, after things had calmed down a bit, I went back over with stickers for the good little patients.

Even with tear tracks on his face and his arm bandaged up to keep the IVs in place, his smile couldn't have been much bigger. I even got a thank you.

As I walked out after dropping off stickers for my other patient, I heard him going on about how he got three stickers...

Sometimes it is the little things that can make a big difference.

It really is though! I remember I used to have to go to the hospital all the time when I was little. I had blood work and chest x-rays about once a month. The stickers made it so worth it, and then when I got more than one I was in heaven. :-) Those stickers and those weird tasting lollipops from the docs were what totally made going there ok :-)

I loved working pediatrics. the adult patients complain too much. the littlest thing makes kids quiet. :)
