The Great American Teach In

 Mom came to my class for the Great American Teach In, and it was so much fun! She talked to us about healthy bodies, and gave us cool tools. We used pen lights to look for something called a uvula, and then learned how pupils get big in a dark room, but shrink when you shine the light on them. Then we used real stethoscopes to listen to each other's hearts.
Ryan was grateful for my new skills that afternoon. He brought his baby to my office for a check-up.
 He was impressed with my clinical examination, and comforted to know his baby was in capable hands.
I told him it's just a virus, she doesn't need an antibiotic, and she's going to be just fine.  Then I gave him a lecture about how vaccines don't cause autism.
