special equipment for other conditions. In fact, a pediatrician uses basically
the same equipment as any other doctor, except that some of it designed
with its use for children in mind.
 Examples include baby scales and child-sized blood pressure cuffs.
 Diagnostic equipment helps pediatricians determine whether their patients
have any diseases or medical conditions. This type of equipment can also
