The Foucault reader
Pantheon Books, 1984 - Philosophy - 390 pages
Michel Foucault was one of the most influential thinkers in the contemporary world, someone whose work has affected the teaching of half a dozen disciplines ranging from literary criticism to the history of criminology. But of his many books, not one offers a satisfactory introduction to the entire complex body of his work. The Foucault Reader was commissioned precisely to serve that purpose.
The Reader contains selections from each area of Foucault's work as well as a wealth of previously unpublished writings, including important material written especially for this volume, the preface to the long-awaited second volume of The History of Sexuality, and interviews with Foucault himself, in the course of which he discussed his philosophy at first hand and with unprecedented candor.
This philosophy comprises an astonishing intellectual enterprise: a minute and ongoing investigation of the nature of power in society. Foucault's analyses of this power as it manifests itself in society, schools, hospitals, factories, homes, families, and other forms of organized society are brought together in The Foucault Reader to create an overview of this theme and of the broad social and political vision that underlies it.

Review: The Foucault ReaderUser Review - Sarah Walsh - Goodreads
Much challenge of thought for my working-class, under-nourished, repressed, ex-women's magazines reading brain. My think's under re-construction, a leap to maturation and an undergoing of serious, rational think. My empty-tick-ed womb cries hooray, NO BABY, SUCH BOOK. Read full review

She was an exceptional person who was successful and influential in her chosen career. She loved her family and supported her friends, while being active in church as well as school and community projects. Most of all, she was considerate and generous with all the people with whom she worked, especially the young women she inspired to follow her in the "hair dressing business."
She was, above all, a faithful follower of the Christ who sustained her throughout her long productive life. At her funeral, Rev. Phillip Morris told the over-flow crowd attending that God was ready and waiting to welcome Cora Beason into Heaven that fateful afternoon! And by means of that sudden accident, he quickly received her into his kingdom!
Cora Beason might be best described as "a people person." Her constant cheerfulness, her agreeable disposition and generous spirit made her "good company." She enjoyed being with people and others found it pleasant to be with her. She loved to talk and she liked hearing what her friends (or whoever she might be with at any given time) had to say! One of her favorite places to eat was Jack's Restaurant, with friends after church on Sundays or week-days for breakfast. She seldom missed being with her morning "coffee club" there!
A young nephew, (who recently enrolled as a freshman at University of Alabama) told his mother when she asked him what he ate for breakfast, "I have an "Aunt Cora" at Jack's every morning on the way to class." He added, "She has always done that so it must be healthy. And she has lived 95 years!"
Cora and her twin sister, Ora, were 18 years old when they moved to Heflin in 1936, with older brother Clarence and their parents, Grady and Myrtle Gaines. Our country was in the midst of the Great Depression! President Franklin Roosevelt had just put men back to work building
public buildings through the Works Progress Administration (WPA). One such project was Heflin's new brick school building on Willoughby Street. The following year Cora and Ora finished 12th grade there and graduated from high school.
Opportunities were limited for young ladies in 1937, so Cora decided to become a "Beautician". She received her training at the Vernon Roberts School of Cosmetology in Gadsden and started her career at Dryden's Barber & Beauty Shop on the west side of Ross Street in Heflin, sharing space with another hair dresser. The beauty shop was located behind the barber shop with its entrance in the rear, facing the courthouse.
Cora enjoyed her work from the beginning. Soon there were other young ladies wanting to follow in her footsteps and she encouraged them by letting them sweep up, wash brushes, straighten up supplies and watch her work on customers. Quickly they began doing manicures, shampoos and cuts. She enjoyed her work and became a master at customer relations. She was also very active in church and communities activities as she continued to advance in her profession.
By 1940, World War II was looming on the horizon. Soon, current news and preparations for war were on everybody's mind. But, as always, there continued to be a need for hair-dressers and beauticians. She worked long hours and found success and satisfaction in her work. Before long, wedding bells were ringing for her and Maurice Beason.
Like many other "war brides" Cora was soon left "to carry on" as her husband answered the call to defend our country. The bus station (next to J. A. Owens Hardware) became the busiest place in town, with Greyhound Buses full of service men traveling on Highway 78 stopping frequently to eat. The old train depot at the north end of Ross Street was also busy, with troop trains passing constantly.
After his WWII service, Maurice was discharged from the Army. He returned to join Cora in establishing their permanent home in Heflin and soon their first child, Eddie, was born. When his Army Reserve Unit was activated during the Korean War in 1950, Maurice again answered the call to duty and served as a mess sergeant for 2 years in Japan.
After serving in Japan, Maurice was stationed in Germany where Cora and Eddie were able to join him. While living there, their new baby girl, Susan, was born to make their family complete.
Their stay in Germany was one of the happiest periods of Cora's life. They traveled to scenic areas in Europe, though evidence of recent wartime destruction was all around them.
She always cherished fond memories of those family times and the friends she made while living there. She also cultivated some lasting friendships among the German people – One particular needle crafting friend who taught her the European style of knitting was never forgotten! But as Cora once said, "All good things must come to an end!
They came back to Heflin when Maurice's enlistment ended and returned to their former lifestyle. Cora picked up where she left off, gladly serving her old customers and welcoming new ones, "Almost as if I'd never gone," she was fond of saying!
In her shop she worked quickly and efficiently to get every job done and take care of her child care and housekeeping obligations! But she also realized the value of plenty of rest, proper diet and "moderation" in all things. Some of her co-workers have said: "She worked circles around everyone else." And, "She didn't do it for show or try to draw attention to herself, that's just the way she was". . . "Most of the time she got up and got her housework done and then walked around the lake before the rest of us even had breakfast," one said! And another said, "Cora always did things in a hurry and she could really turn out the work."
She also dazzled her friends with the variety and amount of needle work she did. She especially enjoyed knitting sweaters, scarves and other pieces by the European method she learned from her German friend. It became her favorite way of knitting. Her daughter, Susan, said, "Mother tried to show me how to do that but I never learned. It seemed backward to me,"
Cora was no ordinary needle crafter. She made beautiful crochet and knitted garments and unique items for the home. And she especially enjoyed stitching clothing for children. One of her nieces still owns two exquisite hand-crocheted dresses Cora made for her and her sister more than 65 years ago. Often she did her hand-work while watching TV or between hair appointments. And she turned out a remarkable number of hand-made items.
She never talked about the good things she did for others. She believed in the old adage, "Never let the left hand know what the right hand is doing." Over the years, she did a lot of work for people without charging them whenever she felt they couldn't afford it. She often provided food if a family didn't have enough to eat! And she assisted needy students anonymously.
When Cleburne County Nursing Home opened, Cora was the first local beautician to volunteer to assist with elderly patient's hair-care needs, and she encouraged others to follow. She had a special affinity for elderly customers. She had the rare combination of patience and understanding of their needs, long before she attained that distinction herself! And she always gave them respect and made them feel comfortable in her shop. Another little-known service that she provided was "fixing hair" for deceased women. Frequently she would be called upon for this service by the funeral home or a grieving family in preparation for their "viewing."
When she retired in 1994, she joined the RMC Volunteers program (Pink Ladies) and began driving to Anniston 2 days a week and working 4 hrs. a day. She took pride in being the oldest "Pink Lady" on staff and holder of the "most hours worked" award. A co-worker said she seldom missed her assigned days. The one exception was the Friday she took off to drive herself to her daughter-in-law Sharon's estate sale in Randolph County, the day of her fatal accident!
She loved to dress up and wear pretty clothes. And she loved the "high heeled" shoes which she wore on Sundays and every other dress-occasion! She continued to wear them until well into her eighties, when her doctor told her to give them up because of a circulatory problem. But she wore sturdy support shoes while working and encouraged others to do so as well.
Cora advised her co-workers to "Eat healthy and walk a lot so your legs will look nice,"- "Put on make-up each morning" and "Wear good shoes." She also told them, "If you want a good business, be there early and stay late, and always take time for lunch."
One friend analyzed Cora as being a cross between "Wonder Woman," "Mother Theresa" and "The Energizer Bunny!" She was strong, compassionate, and durable (she just kept on going and going!) She was also wise and gave good advice when asked. She not only read her Bible, she followed its instructions. One of her favorite passages was:
"Trust The Lord with all your heart; and lean not upon your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
She also loved football and Braves baseball! Almost every night during baseball season she could be found glued to her TV screen, cheering for her team! Chances were that she would also have a half-finished piece of needlework in her lap, with her knitting needles clicking furiously or a crochet needle in her hand.
After school starts in the fall, she has always been found sitting with friends in CCHS stadium during a regular home game. Before the new stadium was constructed, the old "football field" was just a block down the street from her house. Every year since her children were in school she has bought season reserve seats for home football games. Usually, on game night - if it is a home game - she grabs her stadium cushion and flashlight and heads out to the field, then yells as loud as anyone during the game! Indeed there she will be missed!
To some, it might appear that the life of Cora Beason was no different from her contemporaries and in many ways, that is true. She "fit in" wherever she went. She loved to take trips with her senior Church group and was always ready to go, wherever they went. She was an active member of the Diamond Set (for church women) which - with her help - accomplished so much! She was a "main-stay in the Church choir and taught a womens' Bible class.
Recently she had been helping Pharmacist Gary Wright prepare an illustrated history of all the tenants in Heflin's early business district (and she could clearly name and describe them all.)
She was never just a small town beautician who lived most of her life here. She was so much more! And that colorful, attractive exterior we always saw on her, and the calm, cheerful disposition that was her trademark, sometimes effectively disguised her innermost feelings!
Cora outlived her parents, her twin sister, her only brother, her husband, her only son, and other close family members. She could vividly understand and sympathize with others experiencing personal loss because she was no stranger to heartache, disappointment, and sadness. She, too, had experienced more than her share of all of these. She was a giver, not a taker! She knew how to sympathize and console those around her, and she did.
The day of her accident was an ordinary day for Cora, except that she had notified the RMC Volunteer coordinator that she would not come to work as usual that Friday.
Instead, she drove herself to an estate sale her daughter-in-law Sharon was having (in rural Randolph County.)
In late afternoon, as she was leaving, she told Sharon, "I've had a good time today. I'll see you tomorrow."
Just minutes after saying "Goodbye," Cora's life ended quickly at the busy highway intersection nearby! She was instantly transported to her heavenly home, to be reunited with family members and friends.
And thus began the continuation of her life.

Did Ash realize that Gogoat's a grass type in this episode!?! 'Cause I heard him saying something like "Googooto no kusa taipu" or something like that.
Yeah, he didn't know Gogoat's type before, apparently.
Also, Unchou Ishizuka's Gogoat just sounds like Orchid-Hakase making goat noises. Which is hilarious.

Meh, this was an Ok Episode did NOT Understand The Episode at all but still a Mediocre Episode. To Think this has got barely any Posts because Everyone Else is Talking about the Other Stuff that has Happened Today.
It was an okay episode. I mean, it was practically written to depict Gogoat's dex entry (the ability to feel other people's emotions and its willingness to help people) and the new option in the game provided by Gogoat, to jump up the ledges. If that was the purpose of this episode, then it succeeded in its intentions.
It appears that Alexa caught Gogoat before she met Helioptile. Was it stated in this episode that Gogoat was Alexa's first pokemon?
Even though I was already unhappy about Alexa being shown with her Helioptile and Gogoat in the opening sequence, instead of just one Pokémon like everyone else, it wasn't really a big thing. But adding Noivern is just too much.
I liked the episode overall, the backstory about Alexa and Gogoat was somewhat touching, and I think the music is what mostly made it that way. Also, Alexa seems a lot like a loner, and the Ducklet scene was pretty funny. Was that the Kalos region?
I didn't like how Ash called his team "Lizardon-tachi", and how Helioptile did... absolutely nothing. Also, does anybody knows...
...what the heck is that?
It doesn't matter if you aren't going to reach the goal, as long as you're still happy doing the trajectory.
Sunkern to me, but it could just be a flower.

Wow,Gogoat Alexa so cute :3 !!
Cilan is funny! hehe
this episode helps reaffirm why ducklett are some of my favorite pokemon although the rest of the episode was meh at best
Okay I can agree that the episode itself was pretty boring, but Gogoat was really cute and I felt that it was shown off pretty nicely in this episode. The backstory between Pansy and Gogoat was adorable, though....did she say she ever actually captured Gogoat, or if it is just her companion?
Gogoat is certainly becoming one of my favorite Pokemon ;~~;
In that scene he was explaining why he couldn't use any of his pokemon to help them cross the canyon. If you think of the sentence as "I can't use Lizardon (who's the pokemon on my team who's the most capable of transporting humans from one place to the other) or any of my other pokemon because I left them back at the Pokemon Center" then I think you'll see that he's not really playing favorites. He's bringing up Lizardon because that's the first pokemon of his people would think to use in that situation.Originally Posted by Gabo 2oo

In Little Cup, Bellsprout is quite the underestimated threat. It is an absolute beast with Sunny Day on the field, thanks to its ability Chlorophyll, and should be considered a premier choice as a Sunny Day sweeper. It also has a decent typing, but unfortunately suffers from poor defenses. Though its offensive movepool is poor, it gets just enough coverage for it to succeed. All in all, Bellsprout is a unique Pokémon that should be seen on every Sunny Day team.
This is the most dangerous set Bellsprout is capable of running. Thanks to its Chlorophyll ability, Bellsprout hits 28 Speed in sunlight, which allows it to tie with Timid Choice Scarf Abra. With all that Speed, Bellsprout will easily be able to put an opponent to sleep with Sleep Powder, enabling it to safely set up with Swords Dance. Not many Pokémon can withstand a +2 Seed Bomb, so most will attempt to take Bellsprout out with priority. However, Bellsprout still has a secret weapon at its disposal - Sucker Punch. Since there are essentially zero Pokémon with enough Speed to tie with Bellsprout that carry a priority attack, Bellsprout is extremely hard to revenge kill after a Swords Dance.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
While most players think of Bellsprout as primarily a physical sweeper, its Special Attack is also a very formidable weapon. With Sunny Day in play, Bellsprout reaches a ridiculous 28 Speed, easily outpacing the unboosted metagame and most of the +1 speed tier. SolarBeam gets STAB and fires off in one turn when Sunny Day is up, and any Pokémon that doesn't resist it will be taking heavy damage (SolarBeam even has a chance of 2HKOing Munchlax through Oran Berry if Stealth Rock is up). Sludge Bomb is a secondary STAB that pairs well with Solarbeam, as it hits Grass-type Pokemon for super effective damage. Weather Ball is preferred over Hidden Power Fire in the third slot because Weather Ball's Base Power is boosted to 100 with Sunny Day up. Weather Ball allows Bellsprout to beat Bronzor, while Hidden Power Ice hits Hippopotas on the switch for big damage. Finally, the last move boils down to personal preference. Sleep Powder is preferred as it allows Bellsprout to put Snover and other would-be checks to sleep, but Synthesis heals 2/3 of Bellsprout's health in Sunny Day, which is nice as a way to offset the damage from Life Orb and priority attacks. A Life Orb is highly recommended since Bellsprout needs to hit as hard as possible with its attacks. A Timid nature, with 196 EVs, allows Bellsprout to hit 14 Speed, or 28 in Sunny Day. Special Attack is also maximized, and the leftover EVs net you an extra point in both Defense and Special Defense.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Because Bellsprout hits 21 Speed with a Choice Scarf while having impressive Special Attack, it can effectively run a Choice Scarf set. Sludge Bomb is its primary STAB, as it does decent amounts of damage to Pokémon that don't resist it, excluding Munchlax. Energy Ball is a good secondary STAB that pairs up nicely with Sludge Bomb. Hidden Power Fire is a good move to use alongside Energy Ball, as they get good coverage with each other, and Hidden Power Fire prevents Bronzor from completely walling Bellsprout. However, Hidden PowerGround can be used over HP Fire to dent grounded Poison- and Steel-types, but you lose coverage on Bronzor. Since it hits 21 Speed thanks to Choice Scarf, Bellsprout can beat out the entire unboosted metagame, including Elekid and Voltorb. Sleep Powder gets the nod in the final slot, because it has the ability to incapacitate a would-be counter (such as Munchlax). Bellsprout's Special Attack and Speed are maximized, with an extra point going into HP and Special Defense, for equal defenses.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Energy Ball is a potential SolarBeam replacement on the Special Sunny Day sweeper set. Though Bellsprout would lose out on the potential 2HKO on Munchlax, it wouldn't be completely screwed over if Snover switches in. Bellsprout has access to Sunny Day, but doesn't have the room nor the bulk to use it effectively. This pretty much also goes for the rest of Bellsprout's support movepool - Encore, Reflect, Stun Spore, and Toxic are all great moves, but Bellsprout doesn't have enough bulk to use these moves well.
Bellsprout can also run a decent mixed Sunny Day or Choice Scarf set, to act as a decent wallbreaker, but the pure physical/special set is usually going to be better for both. It can run a potential double powder set with Sleep Powder and Stun Spore, but again, doesn't have the bulk (or Speed) to use it well. Bellsprout also gets Giga Drain, but the extra power from Energy Ball is preferred.
Checks and Counters
As far as counters go, Snover is probably one of the best. As long as it avoids Sludge Bomb on the switch, Snover can smack Bellsprout with a Blizzard. In addition, Snover ends Sunny Day and kicks up hail thanks to its Snow Warning ability, bringing Bellsprout's Speed back down to 14. Hippopotas also ends Sunny Day, but must switch out immediately if it switches into SolarBeam. Gastly beats the special sets if Sleep Powder misses, and even the physical set with some prediction. Mankey is immune to Sleep Powder, and OHKOes Bellsprout with Ice Punch. Choice Scarf Magby and Gligar can both Speed tie Bellsprout in the sun and KO (if they win the tie) with their STABs.
The best way to beat the physical set is to allow one of your Pokémon to absorb Sleep Powder, and then send in a Bronzor. Aron is also a great answer to physical Bellsprout, as it can set up with Rock Polish and OHKO with Head Smash.

OUS Executives Earn Salary Increase
EUGENE -- Oregon's public university executives earned performance-based salary increases Friday.
The Oregon State Board of Higher Education approved a new salary of $149,000 per year for OUS Chancellor Joe Cox; $146,000 for the presidents of Oregon State, Portland State and the University of Oregon; and $115,000 per year for the presidents of the Oregon Institute of Technology, Eastern, Western and Southern Oregon University.
But presidents Dan Bernstine at PSU and Betty Youngblood at WOU are declining the increases until their campuses have concluded faculty salary negotiations. Both campuses are currently involved in union contract talks.
The increases will come in two installments with the first retroactive to Jan. 1, 2000, and the second to be implemented on Jan. 1, 2001.
In addition, high merit stipends of $5,000 each were awarded to OSU President Paul Risser and OIT President Martha Anne Dow.
Both were given the extra increase for their special efforts in turning around declining enrollments on their respective campuses, noted Board President Tom Imeson.
Historically, Oregon's public university executives have been earning well-below peers in other states. Their current salaries range from $137,925 at PSU, OSU and UO to $110,338 at the regional campuses.

Friday, April 25, 2014
By Kevin Thomas firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
BOSTON — An infield single brought out Manager John Farrell to argue the call. Brandon Workman waited on the mound, with runners on first and third and one out in the fifth.
Evan Longoria stood at the plate, waiting, his explosive bat in hand.
Workman is the rookie pitcher who began the season at Hadlock Field. You'd never have thought this was just his second major league start, in a very big American League East game against fast-closing rival Tampa Bay.
You can never tell by Workman's appearance.
"He doesn't give you that deer-in-the headlights look when you see him on the mound or between innings," Farrell said. "It's been very encouraging.
"We're talking about a very mature guy who is in the early stages of getting himself established at the big-league level."
Workman, 24, added to his credentials Monday with six impressive innings against the Rays, allowing two runs on seven hits through six innings. On the other side, however, the Red Sox could not solve All-Star left-hander Matt Moore in a 3-0 loss.
Maybe the best part of Workman's outing was that he lasted six innings.
No big deal, you say. On the night after an 11-inning game, when Boston wanted to rest its bullpen, Workman began by throwing 33 pitches in the first inning, then 18 more in the second.
With Workman throwing 51 pitches through two innings, it might have been a long night for the Boston pitching staff. But he needed only 52 more pitches for the next four innings.
"I was leaving pitches up for them to hit," Workman said of the early trouble. "Felt like I settled in and threw some quality pitches, getting guys out earlier in the count."
Workman, in other words, hung in there. It is what the Red Sox expect.
"He's not a guy who gets too nervous," catcher Ryan Lavarnway said. "Having just realized his dream of pitching in the big leagues, to have that much poise is pretty impressive."
Which brings us to that Longoria at-bat in the fifth inning. Workman's best pitches are a fastball and a cut fastball. He started Longoria with a change-up (called strike).
Then a cut fastball (ball), change-up (swinging strike), and cut fastball (ball) for a 2-2 count.
Lavarnway said Workman has a "sneaky fastball." He threw one at 91 mph and Longoria swung and missed.
Were it not for a couple of missed chances, Workman might have met Moore shutout for shutout. In the first inning, with Ben Zobrist on first base, with one out, Workman threw a 2-2 change to Longoria. His foul tip went right into Lavarnway's mitt, then dropped out.
With new life, Longoria singled Zobrist over to third. Zobrist scored on a sacrifice fly.
In the fifth, with Yunel Escobar on second base and one out, Zobrist hit a slow grounder to short. Jose Iglesias' throw got to first base at the same time Zobrist did. Bang-bang play. Zobrist was called safe (prompting Farrell's brief argument).
After Longoria fanned, James Loney singled in Escobar.
Upset? Workman retired the next four batters on four pitches.
"He keeps the game under control," Farrell said. "He shows maturity. An outstanding six innings of work."
In two starts for the Red Sox, Workman has allowed four runs on nine hits. He has nine strikeouts, allowing three walks.
The pre-game talk Monday was that Clay Buchholz has been cleared to pitch. But it will take a while for him to come back. Farrell estimated more time for long toss, three bullpen sessions, a simulated game and then one or two rehab games in the minors.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox have Workman and his 2.92 ERA as a starter.
Not a bad fill-in. From Portland in the spring to Boston in the summer.

Your child's doctor can be an incredible resource when you have questions and concerns about your child's health, but finding time for regular checkups and sick visits may be a stretch for your already jam-packed schedule. The doctor may be overbooked and overscheduled, too, so making the most of your time together is important.
What are the best ways to communicate your concerns and questions? And how can you strengthen your relationship with the doctor who plays such an important role in your child's health?
Today, doctors are pressured to see more patients in less time and to spend less time with each patient. Insurance issues, such as the need for referrals, complicate patient care for parents as well as doctors and their offices.
The increasing complexities of the health care system mean that parents have to take charge of their kids' care. In the past, parents may have known far less about their kids' health, growth, and development. In today's world, the health information that's readily available on the Internet, in bookstores, and on TV suggests that parents have the ability to be more informed than ever before. This is good news, because parents who actively participate in their kids' health care help to ensure the best care possible.
In some cases, though, parents who do their own research may find incomplete or inaccurate medical and health information. Parents armed with stacks of printouts from unreliable Internet sources could find themselves at odds with a tense and frustrated doctor who doesn't have time to agree or disagree with each piece of information.
Another common problem that may hinder a good relationship with your doctor is unrealistic expectations or an unwillingness to trust a doctor's diagnosis or treatment of a minor illness. For example, many parents expect a drug or medicine for common colds, when a wait-and-see approach may be better. As a result, some doctors may feel pressured to give in to parental expectations for prescriptions or treatment, even when it's not necessary or in the best interest of the child's health.
The key to building a better relationship with your child's doctor is open communication and reasonable expectations.
What can you expect from your doctor? He or she should:
Your pediatrician, family doctor, or nurse practitioner can also help you with other children's health issues, including exercise, nutrition, and weight issues; behavioral and emotional issues; how to cope with family issues, such as death, separation, and divorce; and how to understand and seek treatment for learning disabilities.
Good communication is a two-way street. You can aid communication by letting the doctor know that you trust him or her to care for your child. It's good to ask questions, but let the doctor know that you want decisions, diagnoses, and prescriptions to be based on the best decision for the health of your child, not what's easier for you or makes you feel better.
You should also be as prepared as possible with details during your doctor visits. When asked how your child is doing, be ready to share any concerns or ask any questions. It's best to be specific. Be sure to tell the doctor details about symptoms — for instance, if your child vomited three times last night, had a temperature of 102ºF (39ºC), or is having diarrhea. This helps the doctor assess your child's condition more readily and accurately than if you just say that "my child is sick."
Consider jotting down your questions and concerns before the appointment so that you'll remember everything you want to bring up. And if you're worried about symptoms your child is having, mention them to the doctor even if he or she doesn't ask. Tell the doctor what you've tried to make the symptoms better and what worked and what didn't. The more information you provide, the better the doctor will be able to assess your child's health.
Make the most of your relationship with the doctor (and the doctor's office) by following these tips:
The stress of having a sick or hurt child can strain communication between doctors and parents, and the many issues covered in well-child visits may leave little room for your questions. But don't hesitate to ask your doctor questions, no matter how insignificant you may think they are. Many times, problems with your child can be resolved easily with the help of the doctor.
And don't be afraid to give the doctor feedback about your office visit experience, such as whether you felt rushed during the appointment or needed more information about a prescription or procedure. A good doctor will want to work with you to provide the best care possible for your child.
