      Kids and adults are very different, not only with what makes them sick and how they respond but the machines we use are very different too. I like treating the babies who are born early because they are very very small and it’s amazing to see them develop. I like treating kids because when they get better it’s an amazing feeling to have helped them. It can be very sad though if we cannot help them and they die. When I am treating a kid I usually have three patients in one because mum and dad are there too and that can be more stressful!
