  Pediatrician Mark Waltzman worked as a clown during college and uses humor to defuse children's fear at Children's Hospital, where he works in the emergency room."It has to be appropriate to the situation and the child, or course," he says, "but if you can make a patient relax and be calm, everything goes more smoothly."With a young child, he'll often start by vigorously washing his hands and making bubbles with the soap.With a school-aged child, he may begin an exam by asking, "Are you married?"He's building on children's delight in incongruity."Having an adult ask such a silly question in such a serious place cracks them up," he says.

  COURTESY OF MARK WALTZMAN HMS faculty member and pediatrician Mark Waltzman treats a laceration on the head of a child eight days after he was injured in an earthquake which killed thousands.
  ...
  According to Mark L. Waltzman, a pediatrician at Children's Hospital and member of the HMS faculty, the doctors, foregoing standard testing procedures, relied on physical examination, past experience and intuition to treat patients.
  
  "We diagnosed a couple of children with bleeding inside the skull, just based on their history and physical exams, and we managed to transport them to Tehran for surgery," Waltzman said."If it were here, we would have gotten CAT scans and neurosurgeons at [their] beside," he added.
  
  According to Waltzman, there were no fatalities at the field hospital during its time of operation.
  ...
  Nevertheless, Goodman, Waltzman, and Briggs said they encountered no hostility from the Iranian people or government officials.
  ...
  "None of us worried about our safety because if we did worry about it, we wouldn't have gone," Waltzman said.
  ...
  "We had one child who was an emotional wreck, because he kept seeing people pulling members of his family dead out of the rubble, and he was having nightmares of that," Waltzman said.
  ...
  "We're seeing children brought in by a relative, because their entire family had been destroyed except for this one relative," Waltzman said.
  
  But the team's stay in Iran also had its share of emotional triumphs."I had one grandfather come back two days after his child was sent to Tehran for brain surgery, in tears, thanking us for saving his granddaughter's life," Waltzman said.
  
  The government in Kerman also sent the team Iranian dates and pistachios as an expression of gratitude, according to Waltzman.
  
  The Iranians were aware that the doctors were spending their New Year's providing medical relief.
  
  "The local people brought us some pastries and a drink to thank us for spending our holiday doing this kind of work," Waltzman said.
