The children that they help do not have a chance without them, and it is their duty to help them. Children that would have had a very short life if there weren’t pediatricians have the chance to live a full and happy life. Pediatricians also get to work with children, being able to support them when needed and helping them to recover from treatments, like chemotherapy. Pediatricians really save the lives of children who would not live without them.
