Tools of the trade




Working back on the general ward. Our hospital beds range from cribs to full size beds and my patients range from 20 days to 20 years old. This is RSV and asthma season, which also brings in a lot of sickle cell crises. I use my stethoscope, tendon hammer, torch light, and pen regularly. Also on hand is the PALS guide and an asthma booklet. All of these fit into my white coat, with all the other bits of paper I've accumulated and a list of all the patients under our care.
