Pilgrimmage to the Pediatrician

When a young doctor decides to become a pediatrician, most likely they don't have kids. Do you think they know that a huge chunk of their job will be to reassure tens of thousands of first time mothers over the course of their career? Even the most confident of women will seek validation from their pediatrician. This makes each office visit a sort of pilgrimmage or a type of cleansing to give you the strength to go through the next 2 months.

However, I would say it is essential to pick a pediatrician with a "help nurse" on call so you can ask those 3,000 questions you'll have in between.
