As a mother, I know nobody likes bringing their child to the doctors. Even though, as parents - we love hearing out child is healthy; the dreaded 'S' word looms over our heads the entire drive there. The best thing for our children is to get checked out by a doctor yearly and to have immunizations against serious diseases and infections; yet, brief anger still boils over the healthcare worker who is poking our child with a needle. That being said, as a healthcare worker, there a few things that I can confirm will make office visits easier on a parent's, and child's, anxiety while preventing resentment for healthcare.
