Abstract |
A core skill to acquire during our medical education is the ability to identify the sick child. When presenting cases to my mentors in general practice, emergency departments and paediatric services, a recurring question asked of me was, 'What does the mother think? How worried is she that this child is really sick?' A mother's intuition ranks highly when we are looking to form a diagnosis and establish how unwell their child is. |
