Hospital visits and safety

"You do love them, right? Then ask questions" - The Baby Analyst It's been a really long while people, and I'm glad to be back 😊😊😊. This post is long overdue, so I'll just dive right into it. I had to take my Mum to the hospital a few weeks ago to run some tests. I remember having to sit with her during her consultation and paying just as much attention as she was (or even more) to the doctor. When he recommended a test, I would ask what it was called, what it was meant for, how it would be carried out, any side effects, etc. Same thing went for the pharmacists when she had to get her prescription. I needed to know the name of each drug, what it was for, and any possible side effects. You know how some hospitals in Nigeria just dispense drugs in that little plastic ziploc with no name sometimes...so my questions were very necessary I tell you. Lol.  At that moment, I thought about kids and hospital visits and how parents and caregivers manage. Takin
