Abstract
Of all rotations facing the medical student, perhaps none is as daunting in scope as paediatrics. ‘You thought you knew some medicine—think again,’ seems to be the take-home message from early encounters on the children's ward.

Most medical students will empathise with the Unicorn in Alice through the Looking Glass who, on being presented with a child for the first time, declares: ‘I always thought they were fabulous monsters. Is it alive?’
