I have been following the adventures of Dr. Amalia Arce, a pediatrician by profession and mother, who cited in her blog "He obtained almost the same time the title of pediatrician and mother's card".
A few days ago we left a nice classification of different types of mother who come to the pediatrician's office, which made me especially funny in associating some moms who come to see me at the nursing office with their description of them.
I leave some of the types of mom, according to Amalia:
- Mama Barnacle or Mama Octopus: The child more than his son is a continuation of her attached to his body. When he leaves the child on the stretcher, she stretches over and the child clings to his neck with an enormous force. More than a pediatric examination, it may seem like a sumo match.
- "Friendly" mom: As he has come to the ER a lot of times, he already knows the place and a large part of the staff. Enter the query like Pedro for his house. He speaks to you with the familiarity of who is known throughout life, when you hardly remember his face among the 1000 moms you attended last month.
- Marquise Mom: Wait for others, be it the kangaroo, the grandmother or the nurse, undress the child and place it on the stretcher
- Soap opera mom: He comes with his 15-year-old son, sits in the chair, ties his seat belt and puts on the autopilot. He explains to you the story of his son from scratch since he was born ...
- Mom asks: Enter asking for the first a proof for the job. As he brings the other son in addition to the supposedly ill, "well, since I'm here, can you look at the grain that has come out to the eldest?" Finally and to fill the medicine cabinet, you get the recipe book and ask you for recipes from Dalsy, Apiretal, Atarax and Romilar.
- Mom "shopping list": The first thing he does is leave you a note where he has his son's body temperature of the last 24 hours as well as the hours in which he has given the antipyretic and the amounts thereof. It also points the probable diagnoses based on their previous illnesses and their search on google.
In his blog you can see some kind of mother more. Obviously a mother can agglutinate several types of those commented by Amalia, or simply not be any of them (does not exist a normal mother?).
In any case it seems to me that both my partner and I resemble the lapa model ...
And you, moms, do you see yourself reflected in any of the moms discussed?
