Things Adult Medicine Could Learn From Pediatrics

By PERRI KLASS, M.D.

Attitudes long taken for granted in the care of children might be working their way up the life span to become more standard for adults.

Pediatrics is the branch of medicine dealing with the health and medical care of infants, children, and adolescents from birth up to the age of 18. The word “paediatrics” means “healer of children”; they are derived from two Greek words: (pais = child) and (iatros = doctor or healer).May 3, 2019

［後ラテン語geōlogia （geō-土地＋logia学問）］ pedology (pi-DOL-uh-jee) noun The study of soil: its formation, usage, classification, etc. Also called soil science. Etymology From Greek pedon (soil) If at first you thought pedology was the study of children, you're not completely off. Using the Greek prefix pedo- (child), this term can refer to the field concerned with the development of little ones. But for everyone's sanity, pedology is mostly used when referring to soils, and pediatrics for children. Imagine taking your sick child to a pedologist who turns out to be an expert in soils or expecting a soil specialist to check your backyard when she shows up with a stethoscope around her neck. Usage "Accra's underlying geology and pedology makes the permeability of water difficult." — Ken Mensah; Rain, Rain Go Away; Ghanaian Chronicle (Accra); May 27, 2004.
