pediatrician in a broader way. Indeed, over the years we've picked up a number of things which the children have, which bear referral for more intensive care.

What are the most frequent impairments?

It depends on the age. Not the age, I mean the time. For instance, there was a period when we were picking up on lead poisoning. You know, now that's faded away a little bit. Now we're picking up diabetes in children. High blood pressure in children. But that's because we have more time now from our pediatrician than we had before.

So they might have had these --

before, yes, but we just didn't have the time to do it. We pick up a lot of eye defects. A lot of eye defects that have gone unnoticed. Occasional hearing defects. Sometimes something serious, you know, but usually not very serious. Something which is remediable.

Skin problems?

Yes, we pick up a lot of that, because children bring a lot of skin problems, you know. That's very common.

Gastrointestinal?

Not too much of that, although they don't eat properly and we expect them to have it. Overweight, we pick up a lot. I mean, we don't have to pick that up.
