Friday's Patient Pick.. a day early.

Friday's Patient Pick is coming to you a day early... due to tomorrow being a ship HOLIDAY and us not having to work and me being away relaxing at the beach. 

So today my patient pick was a sassy little independent 7 year old. 

Meet Fermande.




Femande walked into the reception room with such confidence and as Florent the translator started to ask her mother the questions on the health history form she piped up and started answering them before her mother. She then continued on to answer for her mother as she too was going through registration. After both health histories were completed she carried her attitude into the clinic jump up into the chair no worries and did not shed one tear during her treatment. 

Now that is an independent strong 7 year old.
