Dialogue, diagnosis and treatment demand a particular doctor-patient relationship and a very specific clinical reasoning in the context of emergency services. Children are always a challenge not only because of how they express a symptom and explain their clinical background but also due to their way of understanding and collaborating with exams and treatments. Training is fundamental for professionals to be successful when interacting with them.
