见到妈妈医生

克里斯汀布鲁诺,医学博士

孩子们真是太有趣了!这就是我成为儿科医生的原因。是啊,而且我喜欢看到别人成功。帮助父母或孩子克服疾病、行为问题甚至母乳喂养障碍等困难是非常值得的。我想要一个领域,在那里我可以为家庭带来巨大而持久的改变,在工作中享受乐趣,并有时间陪伴自己的家庭——作为一名儿科医生,我发现了这一点。我自己也是两个孩子的母亲;苏菲和杰克分别是5岁和8岁,当医生最难的就是和他们分开。我最近离了婚,和许多父母一样,我也在克服障碍,因为他们正在更新自己对家庭的定义。当我不工作的时候,我会充分利用和孩子们在一起的每一分钟,并建议我的病人的父母也这样做。我还提醒他们——也提醒我自己:养育一个孩子需要整个村子的力量。 Lean on your friends, family and pediatrician! Not a one of us is alone, and chances are good another mom or dad has asked the same question you are struggling with.
