I met five-year-old Rafiq and mom today. Rafiq and his family are from Jenin, the West Bank. They came to Sheba Medical Center because Rafiq had many appointments today.
The first appointment was for his lungs. Rafiq sat with his mom in the lung doctor’s office while the doctor was staring at the computer muttering in Hebrew, and he was bored to tears. Rafiq decided to ride on the black leather recliner chair like he was riding a black stallion.
Later Rafiq kept himself entertained watching really bizarre children’s YouTube videos. Next up was an ECHO and an ECG for this curious little guy and he did such a good job cooperating with his mom and the technicians through the slightly uncomfortable process.
Finally, Rafiq met with the cardiologist who prescribed some new medication. We hope to see Rafiq again soon, he is a fun little guy.
