Nicole's Job Shadow Experience

Nicole had an assignment for school to job shadow someone who was in a profession she was interested in. The only criteria for the assignment was that it had to be someone not employed by the Reynolds School District and it could not be a family member or relative. Nicole called and asked her pediatrician, Dr. John Calcagno, if she could job shadow him. Believe it or not, last week, Nicole got to spend an entire morning following her pediatrician around while he doctored his patients. Needless to say, she had a BLAST!! For those of you who have known us long enough, you know how much we love Dr. John. He was the doctor who literally saved Amanda's life as an infant! Not to mention the sanity of Debbie! He did specialize in infants with childhood diseases, but now half of his patients suffer from A.D.D.

He told Nicole that he wanted to send home a vile of bacteria to put under Amanda's pillow so she could come see him. He is missing her weekly visits...and says his practice isn't the same with out her!

Nicole had such a good time, she is even more convinced that she wants to be a Peds Doctor. Only time will tell!

Thanks so much Dr. John!
