how are pediatric conditions and hours?

Do you mean for a pediatrician?  Poor conditions (crying kids and ignorant parents) and long hours.\n\nI thought about being a pediatrician until I had that rotation in med. school.  \n\nI'm an anesthesiologist.  My patients stay quiet.

My hubby works 14 hours a day, 7 days a week.(9 a.m to 11 p.m) It affects our 2 year old a LOT because whenever he does takes a day off, she's all over him. Sometimes, she acts shy like he's a stranger and won't go near him. I'm a stay at home Mom, so I'm on the clock 24 hours 7 days a week.

I would think the two problems would be:\n1. Exposure - you'd be exposed to a lot of illnesses and then you'd be bringing them home to your children who don't have as strong immune systems.\n\n2. Child care - my neice works in a hospital and works a lot of odd hours. Finding child care can sometimes be a problem for her. Plus if the child is sick, she's not allowed to take the time to stay home, so you have to find care for a sick child, which is even harder!

I am not a doctor, but both my parents are, so although I can not give you a first-hand perspective, I can tell you that it is extremely demanding. My parents worked from 7am-9pm including weekends for the first years of their medical profession (more when they were interns and residents). Their schedule got to be a bit more flexible with time, but it requires 10 years and more to establish yourself as a recognized doctor and build a practice. You must constantly attend conferences and seminars and keep yourself updated with new research findings, practices, pharmaceuticals, etc. It's very demanding and unless you love it - unless it's your calling, I don't recommend it. But if this is really what you want to do, go for it and make it happen.

Here is information about this very serious condition, why it happens, and what can be done about it surgically. With immediate surgery, babies with this condition can do quite well, provided there are no other complications.

That's only an answer you can give yourself.  Ask yourself worse case scenario situations....as a pediatrician think of all the trouble kids can get into - infections, lacerations, screaming newborns with unknown causes.  As an anestheiologist (which your spelling is wrong) can you handle administering drug to a severe car accident victim, or an epidural to a woman at the peak of her delivery.  \n\nWhich would you get most joy out of...if you're looking for money, that will only last you a couple of year.  Stability - there will always be work, depending on what kind of pediatrician you would like to be you may be on call all the time, my pediatrician ALWAYS takes her clients calls regardless of the time.  Anesthesiologists vary - if you're in office then there are office hours working with a surgeon, if you are hospital then it's shifts just like a nurse/doctor.  \n\nYou need to determine which will fulfill your needs most.

for advances in pediatric care, you really have to pick a time span. Antibiotics are huge, but not very recent. One can consider medicines like ritalin for helping kids concentrate

I get up at 4:30AM for work and need to pick up the kids at Kindercare at 4:30 PM. Then I make dinner at 5:30PM, make sure they take a bath, and put them to bed by 9PM. Then, it starts all over.  \n\n7AM ain't that bad, kid.  enjoy it while it lasts.

a fever is the way your childs body starts to fight of an infection. If she has had it all day and it is not dropping, take her to the ER. you can try to let her sit in a lukewarm bath, if you live in or near missouri St. louis has a nursing hotline that you can call to ask ??'s. i have called them before and they are really helpful. You may try to call your dr. at home. You do not need to give her anymore meds. It is dangerous to exceed the dosage w/o a doctors order. my peditrician and my son's nuerologist both say to alternate children's tylenol and children's motrin every 3 hours if that doesnt work then they need to be seen. God Bless and good luck. I know its scary to have a sick child, but stay calm and if nothing else, a trip to the ER may be your best bet.
