Hi friends, it's another exciting weekend and it's promising to be a great one. Enjoy every bit of your weekend in the weekend-engagement.
This week's topic is actually important to me because it just revealed my experience just two days ago when I visited the Children Emergency Ward at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. I've always been a lover of children and I've worked in the children department of my church for over 15 years and I know the experience we have with children, most of them can't explain what's going on in their minds and the pains they're experiencing. Thank you and the #weekend-engagement for bringing out this all important topic for us to express ourselves this weekend. My entry in this #weekend-engagement will revolve around:
Option three: Expert
You're granted only one wish to become the expert in a single thing you currently do not know how to do. What is it and why do you chose that thing? How would it impact your life or others and how would you use your expertise?
Currently, I'm an historian by profession and we deal with historical facts looking at the past and helping the past not to repeat itself by profferring solution that'll save history from repeating itself in the future. But I was asked if given the opportunity to wish one area I'll love to become an expert in and I'll say a Medical Doctor who specializes in Pediatrics.

Why a Pediatrist?
A pediatrician is a medical doctor who manages the physical, behavioral, and mental care for children from birth until age 18.Source
In my country Nigeria, most doctors at are employed in the government hospitals aren't caring enough for their patients, most especially in the children emergency unit. Two months ago, I accompanied my aunt to the hospital with her two years old child and the negligence of the doctors and nurses led to the death of my little cousin. While we were there, it was as if I should have the expertise to revive my cousin who was seriously sick but I wasn't and so my cousin died as a result of negligence from the Pediatrist and the nurses. That's why I chose to become an expert as a Pediatrician.
How Would Being a Pediatrician Impact the Lives of Others?
Remember I said I've passion in child care ministry, which is the first positives so far as any field is concerned. Passion to see children recover from their illness. Two days ago, I saw a doctor attending to a sick child and was shouting at the child. I believe that there are ethics associated with childcare delivery. First one must be friendly in handing a child, build the child's confidence in believing in you. As a Pediatrician I'll make the children in my ward my friends and make them to be comfortable with me. That way it'll not be difficult to attend to them.
Finally, as a Pediatrician, my goal is goal is to help the children admitted in the hospital recover as quickly as possible. This i know will take much of my time. Children are suffering with one form of sickness or the other and it's my desire that they become well. Let's celebrate all the Pediatricians all over the world for their passion to take care of children who are sick and needs medical attention.
