Pediatrics was the last thing I will consider when I was a student. I had a very deep interest in orthopedics not only because its easier to treat , but because u can see the results faster. Even now if I am offered a postgraduate course i will choose orthopedics.
But God has a different plan for me. I don't know the reason but of course he knows better about his plans and why he let me go into this path. Working with disabled kids are a real blessing. It has been almost 8 months, I have met a lot of kids with different form of disability, most of which are cerebral palsy.
Working at these kids thought me to appreciate the gift of life I started to appreciate my life more. It is of course heartbreaking to see these kids with CP. Most of them depends on others for even the very basic needs. They have to bear with so much of pain at such a young age. I am trying my best to treat them. Even a small improvement in their function gives a great pleasure/ joy to the parents.
I am happy that God has given me the chance to work with these kids. But still..... deeep within my heart i want to work in a multidisciplinary/clinical set up . Hope God hear my prayers.. Hoping for a miracle soon.
