Let me begin with an observation on the latter. Developmental pediatricians in the Philippines are a rare breed. Or that's what I noticed. From society and organization websites, to forums, to word-of-mouth, to my own experience, they seem to be outnumbered by people who need their expertise. A parent of a child with developmental delays has to wait weeks or months to see one developmental pediatrician. Only thirty are listed on the Philippine Society of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. Twenty-five in one Filipino autism blog, and that is not purely DevPeds. A child psychologist, child psychiatrist, and pediatric neurologist are mixed in the list, although they certainly are a big help too. At my son's speech therapy and psychology center I hear the same account from other parents - securing a time slot with a DevPed is hard. They are all fully booked throughout what could turn into a year. You may be lucky if someone withdraws but that rarely happens. I'm playing

@Roger Owen Green, they're setting about a hundred rolling years at least. And then criteria are blurred by brouhaha over vintage and collectibles.

Kamusta si CJ.
I heard someone once say if it was over 50 it was an antique, if that were so, I would be an antique. Do I hear any bids... : )
ReplyDeleteI love the picture, anything with Eiffel Tower on it is OK in my antique book. Lovely picture for A day.
Thanks for your visit today.
I love antiques.
ReplyDeleteGreat post for the theme. I always thought that antiques had to be in the 1800s although now that we're in 2011 I guess early 1900s would qualify. It can't be over 50 because that would make ME an antique, ha.
