Toronto!

I've been in the T-dot for the past week. I'm doing a placement in a community pediatrics office.

I reeeeeaallly like the kids. It makes me kind of sad that all these awesome little kiddies will eventually grow up to be teenagers... or adults. yuck.

There was a patient the other day, who called because she was unable to get her 5 year old son to take his antibiotics. The antibiotics come in liquid form and are banana flavoured. It seems odd to me that this is actually a problem. It really makes me realize how differently people are raised. It is almost outside my realm of understanding that a parent would actually need to call a doctor about getting her 5 year old to take his medication. Spank him already! haha, I joke. I don't approve of spanking. Or do I? Must admit, I am somewhat undecided.

I remember I got strep throat once when I was around ten. I told my dad that the antibiotics (which were tablets, NOT fruit-flavoured syrups) gave me tummy aches and gas. He said that it was MY problem if I wanted the strep throat instead of the antibiotics. I ended up taking the pills.

Living with the sister has been quite lovely. She makes my lunch every day. Her place is VERY cold. It's so that I have three blankets, and I still wish I had a scarf so my neck wouldn't get cold.

Also, it was my sisters' birthday yesterday! Happy birthday girls!
