Let me begin with an observation on the latter. Developmental pediatricians in the Philippines are a rare breed. Or that's what I noticed. From society and organization websites, to forums, to word-of-mouth, to my own experience, they seem to be outnumbered by people who need their expertise. A parent of a child with developmental delays has to wait weeks or months to see one developmental pediatrician. Only thirty are listed on the Philippine Society of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. Twenty-five in one Filipino autism blog, and that is not purely DevPeds. A child psychologist, child psychiatrist, and pediatric neurologist are mixed in the list, although they certainly are a big help too. At my son's speech therapy and psychology center I hear the same account from other parents - securing a time slot with a DevPed is hard. They are all fully booked throughout what could turn into a year. You may be lucky if someone withdraws but that rarely happens. I'm playing

That old rusty car is fantastic! I think I'll skip a walk across the bridge. Great finds! Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteThe view of the Jeep is interesting and the bridge I will stay away from. Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteThe truck is very neat. And credit to the bridge, but I'd leave her to her own demise.
ReplyDeleteHa, fun! Don't think I'd be walking across that bridge . . . .

ReplyDeleteThe bridge is delightful! Is it really called Old Miss Thin and Saggy, or did you just make that up?
