[QUOTE="barbie, post: 172307, member: 4842"] Okay, Im sorry I work for a doctor, Internal Medicine, my patients are babies but most are over 80 and behave like babies. We can blame the nurse, and the doctor all we want to but what about the visit triggered this reaction for him. Were you anxious and he is reflecting your fears and anxieties about visiting someplace where he mostly goes and someone gives him shots. About holding the kid down, I have to do that every single stinking time I take my kids for any exam, they arent hurting him by restraining him, but if youre restraining and he does need a shot and he's fighting and he/she is anxious becasue you are then let me tell you hun, its gonna hurt alot more, and be more traumatic. When they are tense so is the muscle so to get deep enough for a vccine to be effective will be increasingly difficult and your anxieties and fears are feeding theirs so you have to be the adult and show them that it isnt such a big deal. You would be surprised at how adults respond to "I'm going to get some blood from you now" I once had a girl who we warned about the Herpes rate in Miami, came back to the office a month later had active open lesions, didnt cry at that but boo-hooed when I had to get her blood to diagnose which form of herpes she had. Noone likes going to the doctor when you go youre usually sick and miserable and they stick, poke and prode you. Take him with you to one of your visits, that is if you dont have white coat syndrome. Let him see how you handle things and then when he goes back tell him to remember that moment. [/QUOTE]
