Choosing what field of medicine to go into was easy. Working with children makes my days fun and meaningful. Of course, some are even more fun than others! Here are ten of the kids who made @KPKiddoc tweet out #ilovemyjob this year:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I said, \u201cKick your shoes off, and I’ll take a look.\u201d So he did \u2013 and his sneakers flew through the air, across the room, and right at me!<\/li>\n
  2. A 7-year-old said to me, \u201cMy dad has a Ph.D. Do you know what Ph.D. stands for? Pretty handsome dude.\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Me: \u201cWhat fruits and veggies do you like?\u201d Kid: \u201cYou can’t live without bacon!\u201d Hmmm.<\/li>\n
  4. Me: \u201cGoodbye handsome.\u201d Five-year-old: \u201cShe called me handsome, Dad! See \u2013 all<\/em> the girls call me handsome.\u201d<\/li>\n
  5. I walked in the exam room to find my 4-year-old patient standing next to his mom and bench pressing her outstretched arm. He said, \u201cLook Doctor Land. I’m super-strong!”<\/li>\n
  6. My 6-year-old patient told me she’s designing an app called \u201cFind My Friend.\u201d The app:
    \nShows their playdate location
    \nLets them know if their mom says they can play
    \nAsks if they’d like to color or go to the park<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. I walked into the exam room to see a mother sitting on the exam table, and the 6-year-old boy in the chair. I heard him say: \u201cMom quick. Take your shirt off too so the doctor won\u2019t know who to see!\u201d<\/li>\n
    2. Me: \u201cDo you have any questions?\u201d Kid: \u201cAre your eyes real?\u201d<\/li>\n
    3. Me to mother of an 8-month-old: \u201cWhat is the baby eating these days?\u201d Sister: \u201cFrench fries!\u201d<\/li>\n
    4. And my favorite? A boy I see often who enjoys pulling out the step at the foot of the exam table and its stirrups to drive my \u201cexcavator!\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
