The most fulfilling aspect of life is pursuing something you are truly passionate about, and for me, that passion lies in connecting with my patients. Last December, I encountered a family of three – a mother, a father, and their baby. When I inquired about their visit to the clinic, my heart sank. The four-month-old baby had been suffering from a fever for over three days, and financial constraints had prevented them from seeking medical help. As I tried to assist by identifying nearby hospitals and recommending a pediatrician, the mother shared the challenges they faced – lack of funds for transportation and consultation fees at public hospitals. The realization hit hard when she mentioned a fee of 250 Dominican pesos, equivalent to just $4 for me. Putting myself in her shoes, with a five-month-old baby at home, I couldn't fathom the frustration she and her husband must have felt. At the same time, the mother was taking medication for migraines, and the effects were inadvertently passing to the baby through breastfeeding. It stirred my heart and soul, compelling me to educate mothers on the importance of understanding the impact of medication while breastfeeding. I found myself extending congratulations for their dedication to breastfeeding and seeking ways to offer greater support to these resilient families.
