Children have different medical and emotional needs than adults. Where they might be similar to the untrained eye, pediatric medicine is an entirely different world than adult medicine for everyone involved. Children begin developing the minute they are conceived, and don’t stop developing until early adulthood. (Different ages for different theorists.)

Pediatricians and pediatric chronic illness doctors, nurses, and specialists must take into account that their patient is still developing mentally and physically. Having the right skill set to work with a developing human is vital in a child’s care. They must understand how to work with families as well as the pediatric patient.

Our December Warrior of the Month is Kaci, a 26 year old Multiple Sclerosis warrior. Kaci’s social links are @myelinmoxi on Instagram and Facebook.
