Doctors and dentists give out candy

The pediatrician always wanted to give the little one a lollipop when we left after an appointment. Sigh. When I tried to explain that I don't do candy weekdays, the doctor stopped offering lollipops. Almost anyway. She would instead, always, take out a lollipop, showing it to the little one, and then, suddenly remembering my preferences, withdraw her hand saying: "Oops, your little one does not eat candy, right." Only, then Irene had already seen the lollipop, so guess what happened? No, she wouldn't get the lollipop, and argument would ensue. This happened every time. But not anymore. Because we have a new doctor now. No lollipops, just pure medical treatment:)

Oh, was I glad that that episode ended. Only last week I became a bit concerned, because I went to our dentist last week and found something that I did not want to see in dentist office. Now, I will not change my dentist. They are extremely professional and I like them a lot. Them means two. I have two dentists:) 

This is what I found in their office. I hope this Christmas tree is only going to stay there during the holiday season.


Anyone else being offered candy at their doctor or dentist?

  1. Läste precis ditt inlägg här och håller med om att det INTE ska finnas godis hos tandläkaren! Det är ju inte klokt! Samuels doktor har godis men det finns i en hink högt upp där barnen inte kan se och det står "parents choice" på burken. Doktorn gav honom en klubba en gång utan att fråga mig och jag blev lite smått irriterad över det. Hon tyckte han förtjänade en eftersom de grävde i hans öron. Han hade klarat sig utan den och hade kunnat gå därifrån med ett exra klistermärke istället. Nåja...så är det ibland.
