This is a blog about the frustrations of a pediatric inpatient practice. Some posts will be about kids, some about parents, some about "the system," and the rest about whatever I want to talk about.

Entitled behavior starts young.
We all know that sick kids aren't on their best behavior. When they feel bad, they're cranky, and they don't hold back. Pediatric health professionals know this, and we cut them a lot of slack. But some behaviors just can't be excused. I don't really mind if a kid acts nasty out of fear. That's expected. I have had some kids, though, treat not only their nurses but their doctors like personal servants. Little kids don't come up with this on their own. They learn it from their parents. I shudder to think of the adults these kids are becoming.
