Knowing the milestones is so key to passing any pediatrics question on any standardized test. For practical tests, making the kiddo laugh is the key - I had a pediatric EM attending who had a button he would press when looking into kid's ears or throats during the physical exam that would make chicken clucking noises, and he'd tell them they had chickens inside them. Worked like 75% of the time to at least make them smile. The ones that didn't were either super sick, too old, or too young.
I actually started to try and figure out whether your examples were developmentally appropriate or not and then remembered that I'm not taking an exam and This is a comedy channel lol
For better or worse, we pediatricians are known for being passive-aggressive, so the transition from easy questions to what seem like impossible developmental questions is spot on.
Developmental milestones are my jam!!! Have you played "Guess Their Age"? It's this game I play where I observe kids in their natural habit and try to guess their age based on their motor skills, cognitive abilities and general physical development. Keeps your skills sharp and super fun!
All through my undergraduate I have struggled to learn and remember milestones. It was then I knew I did not have to take Radiology . I salute you, if you remember all of that.
You forgot the part where the doc is trained to resist slapping ignorant parents across the face when they bring their kid in for a magic pill or antibiotic so they can “get better right away”
I thought my internal medicine final exam was gonna be my most difficult to complete, but the pediatrics one was the worst 😭😭 I felt as lost as in this video and the pediatricians had poker faces no matter what question they made and what answer I said, so I felt as if I was gonna screw up all the timeeeeeeee. Then at the end they were all super happy like :D hooray passed 🥰 as if they weren't torturing me before
For real. Our pediatrics questions in accreditation tests are so random. They range from developmental issues and laws to "should you shave your newborn's hair?" 😂
Oh, this reminds me of my exam. The "is this developmentally adequate" was indeed a large part of it but also the: "3 year old child feeling unwell and having a fever for two days - precisely what disease and its subtype is this?" In my case I had four identical cases of that nature that supposedly all had different diseases.
My mother told me once the pediatrician had said I would be taller than my sister. I couldn’t understand why that was even a question. lol I’m an inch shorter than her.
Dude, any child under five: fart noises and poop jokes. If they roll their eyes and tell you they're not a baby, lay out a dad joke, a bad riddle, or come up with a ridiculously elaborate title to call them.
I volunteered on an elementary school to talk to children about my day to day as a scientist to get them interested in science. It is the first time I have been with that many children and I noticed one pattern: Children are very ignorant with very steep mountains of very specific knowledge. I think that people treat children as if they did not understood because they did not have the mental capacity, when in reality they are just blank canvases ready to be filled with knowledge. And they can understand more than what many people think they can, as long as you know how to tie it up with something they know or on which they are interested. The same girl asked me how many months and years does it take for the Earth to go around the Sun, and, at the same time, she told that the Sun was made of plasma and she recited the different layers of the Sun and the temperature of each layer. Fascinating creatures, the children.
Pediatricians are literally the best. I didn’t leave my ped until I was about 20 years old, and even then I really didn’t want to. She was the best doctor I've ever had. But of course by then I was having adult problems, not child problems. 😭 I still miss her.
That’s just how you do a lot of things in healthcare, especially when you’re new, and you’re new for a good while. Then eventually one day you realize you aren’t just acting confident anymore.
I love how the exam starts all nice and cozy, and suddenly it goes waaaaay deep into development cornerstones. It's like "gloves off". I absolutely adored development cornerstones back in clinic.
I for one was laughing at all of the different things he tried in order to impress the 3-year-old. Many of those are my own tried and true pediatric skills. I swear by the horse noise.
Me waiting for the response to the last question to be fart noise by putting your hand under your armpit and squeezing your arm/shoulder down to make the noise…. 😂
As a pediatric doctor you should not be "loving" someone telling egregious baldfaced lies. Not only does it hurt your cause, it hurts the credibility of doctors everywhere. According to the CDC's WISQARS data the leading causes of death for children are, by age group:

You know you work with kids when you start yelling "poop" at the screen, because you already know that the way to make them giggle. Child healthcare providers unite haha
At least in my experience, firearms ownership is fairly common among physicians. Also, if your job requires statistical literacy, you're more likely to detect bullshit statistics.
The Canadian paediatrician answer to what you’re supposed to say to a parliamentary committee is to eliminate something fun like trampolines or toboggans.
Also, baseball and dodgeball. Neither are allowed at my local elementary school. My kids don't knew how to play baseball!!! Hopscotch goes next cuz, stones.
The how tall will they be question is always answered incorrectly lol. They said I would be tall because of the length of my limbs. They were right that my limbs aren’t proportionately short, but I only grew to like 5’1 and a bit (shorter than both parents by a lot). They told a friend of mine she would be 5’2 and she is 5’9 (midpoint of parents). The only time I’ve seen them close to correct the parents were 6’3 and 5’9 and the doctor gave no number- just “tall.”

Reminds me of ER and Dr. Benton. He was trying to get into pediatric surgery and got rejected for not being good with kids. He got better when he got his own kid.
i think this was validating for every healthcare professional that works with children XD just because our clinical knowledge applies broadly (since there are lots of children out there...) doesn't make it not specialized, or not required to provide effective care!! also, "his spotify algortihm can best be described as: a mess" is such a great line. well done and thanks for sharing!
Dr. Glaucomflecken - “poop”
UA-cam - “From a licensed doctor”
Hey, licensed doctors need to be able to say poop! How else are you going to find out the last time someone had a bowel movement?
Pull my finger joke
I thought he would fart
Fart jokes will always be funny. So will farts.
it was good enough for half of neil patrick harris' dialog as a monkey, it's good enough for us

Knowing the milestones is so key to passing any pediatrics question on any standardized test. For practical tests, making the kiddo laugh is the key - I had a pediatric EM attending who had a button he would press when looking into kid's ears or throats during the physical exam that would make chicken clucking noises, and he'd tell them they had chickens inside them. Worked like 75% of the time to at least make them smile. The ones that didn't were either super sick, too old, or too young.
As soon as he asked the final question, I said out loud "fart sound, Fart Sound, FART SOUND"
Same.
The key to getting a 3 y/o boy to laugh... Have a fart button in you pocket!
I actually started to try and figure out whether your examples were developmentally appropriate or not and then remembered that I'm not taking an exam and This is a comedy channel lol
You'll be okay.
For better or worse, we pediatricians are known for being passive-aggressive, so the transition from easy questions to what seem like impossible developmental questions is spot on.

It's so much fun.
All through my undergraduate I have struggled to learn and remember milestones. It was then I knew I did not have to take Radiology . I salute you, if you remember all of that.
My mom used to do this with crying babies. Just tilt her head at the screeching and murmur, "6 months, boy, wet diaper."
As a parent, my Spotify algorithm is also a mess because the Wiggles have entrenched themselves in there
You forgot the part where the doc is trained to resist slapping ignorant parents across the face when they bring their kid in for a magic pill or antibiotic so they can “get better right away”
Lol I used to teach preschool and at the last question I immediately said “make a fart noise!”
Good to know I’ve still got it 😂
Was correcting my students' paediatrics exam papers today and realised that my milestones questions were just like the ones in the video😅
I thought my internal medicine final exam was gonna be my most difficult to complete, but the pediatrics one was the worst 😭😭 I felt as lost as in this video and the pediatricians had poker faces no matter what question they made and what answer I said, so I felt as if I was gonna screw up all the timeeeeeeee. Then at the end they were all super happy like :D hooray passed 🥰 as if they weren't torturing me before
Honestly all of his attempts to make the 3 year old laugh got me. I’m 38.
As soon as the doc asked the last question, I said aloud "poop". I'm 27, but I could still kill a stand up routine at a kindergarten
I too immediately said 'poop'. It's such a simple cornerstone of young kids' humor. 😂
For me this video has a tinge of melancholy. I lost my dad as a kid, and he was finishing up his exams to become a pediatrician at the time.
For real. Our pediatrics questions in accreditation tests are so random. They range from developmental issues and laws to "should you shave your newborn's hair?" 😂
... it depends?
Shaving a newborn sounds wrong.
Oh, this reminds me of my exam. The "is this developmentally adequate" was indeed a large part of it but also the: "3 year old child feeling unwell and having a fever for two days - precisely what disease and its subtype is this?" In my case I had four identical cases of that nature that supposedly all had different diseases.
I showed my 3 year old. You had laughs from the first face, but "poop", was the cherry on top. 😊
Paediatric nurse here and parents asking about adult height got me rolling!! 😂😂😂
My mother told me once the pediatrician had said I would be taller than my sister. I couldn’t understand why that was even a question. lol
I’m an inch shorter than her.
The fact that I laughed before he was done. I am more entertained than a 3 year old.
Hey Dr. G! The med student should be given a unicorn horn headband for passing the final exam🦄😁
As a person who sharply exhales from his nose when laughing, I can confirm it was indeed a laugh.
My dad is a pediatrician, and from what he tells me, you are right on the money with this one! Kids are entertaining, adults are no fun :P
The fact that my immediate answer to the last one was "poopoo peepee"---
Dude, any child under five: fart noises and poop jokes.
If they roll their eyes and tell you they're not a baby, lay out a dad joke, a bad riddle, or come up with a ridiculously elaborate title to call them.
I said poop the second after he said “I’m 3, make me laugh” 😂
I think anyone who has dealt with a 3 y.o. was with you lol
It's like a cheat code 😉

For the record, my three year old son laughed at your arms flailing around. Either way, that's a pass!
"You're thinking like an already highly-paid specialist"
Speaking as someone who works with spinal surgeons: that's way too real. 😭
This is accurate. Pediatrics is filled with kind people and extremely hard exams.
I didn't realize I had PTSD until he started talking about the number of stacked blocks
Pediatricians are literally the best. I didn’t leave my ped until I was about 20 years old, and even then I really didn’t want to. She was the best doctor I've ever had. But of course by then I was having adult problems, not child problems. 😭
I still miss her.
The correct answer is to tell them you think they have bunnies in their ears and you need to look for them. Works 100% of the time.
YES!! Our Peds ENT clinic says monkeys lol 🙈
Had my 3 year old son watch, he didn’t laugh until you said poop😂
Paediatrics is my favourite character you do! Excellent combination of chilling realism and optimism, as if congress would see you.
I'm having my final MB in 1 month. I think "furrow my brow and confidently make a complete guess" summarises my game plan pretty well.
That’s just how you do a lot of things in healthcare, especially when you’re new, and you’re new for a good while. Then eventually one day you realize you aren’t just acting confident anymore.
i am mildly upset that when he said poop i had the literal same in real life reaction as a almost 36 year old man lol.
I love how the exam starts all nice and cozy, and suddenly it goes waaaaay deep into development cornerstones.
It's like "gloves off".
I absolutely adored development cornerstones back in clinic.
I for one was laughing at all of the different things he tried in order to impress the 3-year-old. Many of those are my own tried and true pediatric skills. I swear by the horse noise.
I thought the end of the joke was gonna be him accidentally hitting himself making all the funny gestures.
You know, the punchline.
Me waiting for the response to the last question to be fart noise by putting your hand under your armpit and squeezing your arm/shoulder down to make the noise…. 😂
I work with children everyday. When he asks to make a 3-year-old laugh, I immediately, without even thinking, said, "just say poop"😂
For the "make a 3 year old laugh" challenge, I would have immediately made fart noises with my elbow and mouth.
Empty my lungs into my elbow.
the formula for expected height is (father's height + mother's height)/2 + (if boy) or - (if girl) 7,5 cm. Yes, I'm a pediatrician.
As a Pediatric doctor who has a special interest in advocating and researching ways to reduce gun violence. I love this!
As a pediatric doctor you should not be "loving" someone telling egregious baldfaced lies. Not only does it hurt your cause, it hurts the credibility of doctors everywhere. According to the CDC's WISQARS data the leading causes of death for children are, by age group:

Im so proud of myself. He said “make me laugh” and without hesitation, out loud, I go “poooooooooooop”
This made me laugh so hard!! You have passed the test in the video. 😂😂😂
So did I!
I was going to suggest a fart. Farts & poops are hilarious to a lot of kids (and some adults).
Some?
Loving the pediatric specialist. It’s like he’s the only one that is required to be weird.
Have you _met_ Neurology?!
@@msshellm8154 WIth 2 rare neurological disorders and a brain tumor, I relate to the neurologist a little too much at times.

The "poop" got my 3 yo girl lol
The poop got _me_
Former Peds here as well and as usual you're spot on.
I burst out into laughter as soon as I heard, nay, read, "poop".
Stopping going to the pediatrician was a mistake.
"hi little friend!" Usually works when I'm working with kiddos.
I guessed poop pretty much right away - always funny. Just show him a Bristol stool chart
You know you work with kids when you start yelling "poop" at the screen, because you already know that the way to make them giggle. Child healthcare providers unite haha
