Abstract

The 48 y as a pediatrician, serving children and families was beyond attending to their presenting complaints. The combined roles as a child health doctor, medical teacher, researcher and administrator were interesting, nevertheless a tightrope walk. The lessons and wisdom that emerged from my learning journey, guided by my esteemed mentors, made me realise that the history and physical examination remain as the foundation of clinical assessment of a well or an ill child, even when we rely on technology to make a diagnosis. My mentors' photos are provided as Annexure (Supplementary File S1). The diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB), epigenetics of childhood TB, scorpion and snake envenomation and their timely recognition and treatment, organising pediatric accident and emergency and critical care services, training all concerned, advocacy against unnecessary injections in children, imparting perseverance and skills to care for developmentally challenged children engaged me in this journey- a mixed blessing in retrospect! It dawned on me at various stages that education of mothers should be given the high priority. This can be through personal contacts or digital enabling with useful academic information, providing parenting and personal support for Child Life Care. I find that an active pursuit of evidence-based practice, advocacy against harmful practices and beliefs, understanding the link with laboratory and nursing personnel became my approach in practice, thanks to my mentors, teachers and children whom I was able to take care of.

反思、修正、回应和记忆:从我的导师那里学到的经验——基于2024年10月6日乔杜里博士和阿玛拉·乔杜里博士第17次演讲。
作为一名为儿童和家庭服务的儿科医生,他的工作远远超出了处理他们目前的抱怨。儿童健康医生、医学教师、研究人员和管理人员的角色组合很有趣,但却像走钢丝一样。在我尊敬的导师的指导下,从我的学习历程中获得的教训和智慧使我意识到,即使我们依靠技术来诊断,病史和体检仍然是对健康或生病的孩子进行临床评估的基础。我导师的照片作为附件(补充文件S1)提供。结核病的诊断、儿童结核病的表观遗传学、蝎子和蛇的毒害及其及时识别和治疗、组织儿科事故、紧急和重症护理服务、培训所有相关人员、倡导反对儿童不必要的注射、传授照顾发育障碍儿童的毅力和技能,这些都让我参与了这段旅程——回想起来,这是一件幸事!在不同的阶段,我逐渐意识到母亲的教育应该得到高度重视。这可以通过个人联系或有用的学术信息的数字支持,为儿童生活护理提供育儿和个人支持。我发现积极追求循证实践,倡导反对有害的做法和信仰,理解与实验室和护理人员的联系成为我在实践中的方法,这要感谢我的导师,老师和我能够照顾的孩子。
