Paediatrics

Assalamualaikum.
All praises to Allah.and peace be upon His messenger.


I've only got about a week left in the paediatrics rotation.

And to be honest, paediatrics has got a special place in my heart.

I'm not quite sure why.

Maybe it's just because those kids are so cute and fun to play with (until they start to cry, then you better leave them to the nurses.heh).


Or maybe it's because I too, used to be a patient in a paediatric ward like all these kids. and thus I can feel them and relate with them - I've had quite a severe asthma/respiratory problem when I was about 2-ish years old and had to be hospitalised for quite some time (not that I can remember it though. it's my mom who told me the story. fortunate for me that it was only a one-off event. I never had to use any asthma medications afterward).


Or...maybe it's because the fact that kids are actually 'ahli-ahli syurga'... and being able to look after these ahli syurga, and help care for them, is one of the biggest privilege one could ever get.

The prophets are no longer here, and neither the sahabah who've been promised jannah. I cant possibly meet any of them anymore, in this world.

So maybe by being around these kids, it somehow subconsciously reminds me of the reward of jannah.

Maybe.
