This ad appeared in the Sunday Shreveport Times on page 7A. It should make parents feel good to know so many smiling experts are standing by to take care of their children at the Christus Schumpert Sutton Children's Medical Center. Pictured are specialists in the areas of pediatric intensive care, pediatric gastroenterology, pediatric orthopedic surgery, neonatal intensive care, and pediatric surgery.
Under the multi-colored word specialists the copy even explains "When a child needs care, it is important to have a team of pediatric specialists, nurses and staff like those at Sutton Children's. They combine child-centered compassion with a wide-range of skill and expertise. Together, they are making a difference in the lives of our children."
Where are the smiles when it comes to taking care of children and adolescents with neurobiological disorders? Does the mental health of the kids of our community not matter? Who is lining up to take care of them?

Excellent point K. I sort of wish that had been available when I was a kid. Who knows how I would have turned out then.

When I was a kid they just paddeled you in school for behaivoral problems or gave us a a pill to keep us quiet. The mind is a complicated device and it is good to see that some people are trying to figure out how to tap into it's workings instead of whipping or doping people into zomies.
