Don’t destroy magic for children
Numbing cream isn’t magic cream. It’s there to make it hurt less and is special. But it’s not magic

@BeckyPlatt3 talks about the layered approach to pain relief
- comfort
- first aid
- splinting
- don’t be afraid to use nerve blocks
🌟 Reassess 🌟 Evaluate 🌟 Escalate

Is the baby ok now mummy, my 8y daughter asks.
I’ve just come home from caring for a baby who died from SUDI.
Yes thank you, I say, needing to protect.
I don’t think they are, mummy.
No, you’re right. I’m sorry. Sometimes babies die too.
Truth is better. For kids too.

Make discharge safer by telling parents:
1. Trust your gut.
2. The door is always open.
3. No one will judge you if you come back.
What would you add to my list?

Constipation & unexplained episodic cramping abdominal pain in children (which is highly likely to be secondary to constipation) is the commonest reason for referral to our general paediatric clinic.
It is easily treatable, and there are some excellent resources to help. 1/

The art of good communication for patients includes
- creating a safe space
- Time to speak
- The right language
Today I was able to help a patient. I translated for him.
He was able to express his needs safely in his language. I was able to help. It felt rare.

Bad things to say to patients at triage:
• It's not an emergency
• It's just a minor illness
• Why did you come?
Good things to say to patients at triage:
• I can see you're worried
• Fortunately, I haven't found anything serious
Don't dismiss. Reassure.
