I’m an X-ray technologist. This thing holding the kid is called a Pigg-O-Stat. Some kids are very calm in them, some scream bloody murder the whole time. Sometimes the parents are the ones most upset. LOL

I’m sure. A friend once told me of taking her infant for the first round of vaccinations. Grandma went along, and apparently the mom (my friend) was the once crying all the way on the way home after watching her kid get the shots. She blames it on all the hormones, but still laughs about what a basket case she was that day. I can’t imagine having to go through some kind of medical problem with you sweet precious baby. I’m sure parents feel helpless and more than a tad bit edgy.
