I took my son to Mercy Health center a few nights ago for a tetanus shot after a minor cut. No child likes shots (or none that I know), and of course my son was a bit worried. They have one doctor there that everyone should visit at least once, Dr. Inman. Kids love him! He looks at a chart and makes comments like: "Okay, let's see. The last time you were here you had fallen off the back of a tractor and were crying like a baby (This to a fifteen year old)." Or he'll write in the chart: "slipped and cut foot on shovel, which had fricken manure on it." My son is in stitches by the time we leave, and the last thing he worries about is a shot! The other doctor in the building is not so nice; too bad you can't avoid him altogether. Unfortunately, I can't remember his name but I know he has a beard and grey hair.
