smith

congratulations on i was at your master's wedding the other night and um uh they had a little review of a book by lord trimingham called the middlemen and it said and I thought this is the answer for all of us paediatricians we should know this and have it on the wall it said lord trimmingham said um the lady is never wrong now I found out my wife has been telling me that for years but if you don't see it in print, Why don't you normally get that message now, when a woman brings her son into the office and says he's sick?

You know he's sick and you keep looking until you find out he's sick or you force him to. sick or something, but because the kid is sick and you can't examine him and say he's not sick because they'll go to another doctor and that's bad for business, then you find out he's sick or he has pinworms or you know there's something that's wrong. happening with that child because the mother knows better than actually it is when the baby was born to her, she lived with this child for 24 hours a day and the father brings the child and says my wife says he is sick.

I'm okay with it so uh and and then he's not, you know, but we believe the woman and it really makes some sense and we've been the times that they were burned are the times that we don't believe that woman, so, for God's love, if a woman comes and says something believer, you just nod your head, it's not being honest, it's just God's truth, they have some message that God gave them, that's when they say something, my wife says which is the bad behavior of our children. It is from the bad genes on the paternal side of the family and is often true.

Can I ask you a question here? Yes, you asked me if I have been reading questions. Yes, I interrupted you. No, you didn't interrupt me at all. just hello doctor and uh you were on Western Airlines with Lord Trimmingham or someone like that who understood, did you hear Lord Trimmingham? Oh yes, of course not. I didn't know he said that, but you know it too. He said yes, among other things, that Portland, Oregon, was about to disappear. We were just on the map right for Portland. We have ice up there like you wouldn't believe and mine, I believe it if you tell me. my wife again, who believes in, you know, sometimes she thinks I'm fine, she said: you know what's happening

tonight

because we were in 39 degrees huddled around those sub-zero, you know, around this kind of package that doesn't burn well and she said, you know what we're doing, we're

talking

because we're usually watching TV or complaining or

talking

on the phone, we were talking to each other, right, that's good and you know, bad weather forces people to Come c

lose

r, what's new in medicine, well we have a flu that wouldn't turn blue, let's get some good supplements, it's too bad, why can't you cure the flu, doctor, oh, we can, oh? yeah just keep going that releases it now we have what they call Russian type flu that's right yeah what is rugby flu and is there a Portland flu?

Actually, they're all the same basically it's a high fever and a headache and your eyes hurt, you don't want to and then the fever goes down and then there's our type of cough that lasts seven days, so it's a ten day illness, it's a very standard type and there is nothing you can What can I do quickly? Who is going to tell you some of them? The best thing, the best carp syrup, was that gin, lemon juice, honey and lemon juice, yeah, we ran out of that one night and the kids came in and they were standing and barking by the bed.

The night I had to give it to them it didn't have the right ingredients, it was bourbon, an antihistamine and some molasses, it was so bad, yeah, they never complained again, so you know, if you make cough syrup taste too good, they are there. every 20 minutes you know how to cough and bark and stuff so you have to be aware of that, but it works, it works if you know it's coming. Do you have a question for Dr. Richie about uh, your kids have some illness, they're rich. Or so I mean, since doctors here can save a high school, it has been that children who have blue eyes are more likely to be hit by their grandmothers because they are more likely to have bad behavior, but yes, all their children they are.

Well, Tim, do you have any problems with your kids at home? Oh, sorry, I'm doing some research. If you have an opinion, I'm doing some research on people who end up like they did and me. I found that people like this are more likely to have been very ticklish as young children. Were you Turkish? Were you ticklish? It's probably sensitive it's just a little ruler and you notice the stethoscope and we can't feel this wait a minute richie is going to do the famous tissue trick oh excuse me I thought you could do that famous magic trick you do at parties but I guess not I just, I just blew my nose, that's all.

My work with children who have given teachers problems at school is that they are particularly sensitive children and geese and I have made them up, eh, but I can't pet them. and it's a long stick with a lot of feathers saying that the teacher sounds like the first day of school she makes the children all lie supine on the floor naked, preferably, and she lowers this stick with the feathers and sees which children They break first. and those are the ones who are going to have problems no, they seem to have more problems, but we, the more sensitive hypersensitive children, are more likely to have problems at school, so we would like to isolate them or find them because there are some things we can do , but if we're not too far past the flu, I might go back to that because there are some people who can go back to Sir Birmingham if you want to cut it back. above, but some people respond to vitamin C and it might be worth taking enough vitamin C.

Yes, can you take too much? Your body will surely respond. A woman told me no. work, her son kept vomiting as fast as she put him down, but she was doing something for the boy and that's important too, that you feel like you know you can't just sit there and watch your son do it. sick, but there's a point if your kid has pneumonia, he's blue and he's 105, well, you're not going to sit down and give him vitamin C, but you can do it on the way to the doctor. Don't let it go, there is a kind of limit to this health thing.

I agree with many of the health concepts, but there is a point where how would Richie know if his daughter was turning blue? I mean, they have ways I can see. I even see a lot of blacks come with the Chelsea and see the rash and I was like hmm, yeah of course, just to point out a typical spot and they will, and I, oh yeah, we see a lot of that and I don't know, no, I don't do it very well, okay, pretty good, what did you do when you were when you're treating one of your trout?

He's kicking again. Do you like it when they examined you? When examining a child, is it better to have the parents in the other room? No, no, no, we try to have them in the office there with us, so we can save some time and ask questions, and the kid is usually there. a little happier if they often feel that the parents have abandoned them and that is a kind of dirty trick that we try not to do, we try to get through the whole test without the child crying, which is another kind of trick when they reach a certain age, maybe after they are 12, 13 or 14, it's amazing how much they let us see things in their bodies, but not their parents, so we were hiding in a corner, now let me take a look at this and that, uh. it's a lot of that doctor, well it's true that most doctors go into medicine because, um, they're voyeurs and they get paid, you heard it here first, let's take a break, we'll be right back folks.
