Doc Talk: Fear of needles!

I can’t think of even one mom who hasn’t had to deal with fear of needles at one point or another. It’s so common for kids to get nervous about

shots, and sometimes even we mamas get a little squeamish about them, too. We asked Advanced Nurse Practitioner Megan Morgan, who is also a fellow mom, to give us some tips on how to handle a kid’s fear of needles. (Did you know about the numbing ointment?? Watch the video for more on that!!)

For more info about Megan’s background and training, click on her photo to hear more details. To schedule an appointment with her, just call the Rogers Medical Center at 479-338-5555. She is really nice and great with kids, too!

Good news! We’ve filmed a whole new series of videos from doctors, nurses and specialists at Mercy Health of Northwest Arkansas. We asked them a variety of questions we felt moms would most like to hear answers to, and we learned a LOT during the filming.

Over the next several months, we’ll post new Doc Talk videos that let you go on a “virtual trip” to the doctor’s office.

Our thanks to all the experts at Mercy Health for sharing your time and expertise with us to bring solid medical info to local moms!
