Your heart sounds
excellent today.
Now, we're gonna take
a listen to your back.
Hi, my name is Jordan Smallwood.
I am the Section Chief
of Allergy and Immunology
here at Nemours
Children's Hospital.
Well, I was pediatrics
trained before I
chose to go into
allergy and immunology.
And working with kids
makes your day more fun.
It makes it more
entertaining, and has always
been the more rewarding
portion of my job.
I would want parents to
know that I will be there
on the good days to celebrate.
I'll be there on the
bad days to try and help
you get through all of it.
And here at Nemours, we will
do absolutely everything
we can to try to help
your child improve.
My patients
continually teach me.
The thing they
teach me the most is
that I'm gonna be learning
for the rest of my life.
The thing that I appreciate
most about Nemours
is the underlying
mission of this hospital.
At a time where I feel that
a lot of medical practices
are simply trying
to see more patients
and not necessarily
offer better care,
Nemours sticks to its mission to
provide the best care possible.
My favorite part of
the day is anytime
I walk into a patient room
and as they're telling me
their story, right away
just because of my training,
I know exactly what's
going on, and I'm
confident that we
can get it better.
And so for that first time,
in perhaps weeks or months,
this family has that
glimmer of hope,
and you leave the room feeling
like you made a difference
in that person's life.
