Congrats on your new practice, Dr Neptune!

In April, we featured Dr Raulnel Neptune, one of the few male paediatricians in Trinidad and Tobago. In his seven years as a doctor and his time as a paediatrician, he has treated children suffering from a myriad of conditions.
So, why Paediatrics?
According to Tobago-born Dr Neptune, "after completing the mandatory internship, I realized at that time that job satisfaction was more important to me than money. Paediatrics provided me with that satisfaction. The ability to continuously see positive results by managing children, gave me great job satisfaction and that’s what sealed the deal for me."
He told us, "I love my job and I love making a difference. The public has a notion that a Paediatrician is simply a doctor who plays with children, feeds them and changes them. This is very far from what we actually do. As a Paediatrician, we rarely see children who are well and healthy: most are very sick. In fact, nurturing a child back to health is not only about giving medication to make the child feel better but it is about understanding the family structure and incorporating the emotional aspect into the caring of the child."
Dr Neptune recently opened his practice, Paeds World in Tobago, where he is now based. Congratulations Doc and best wishes! The children of Tobago are in good hands.
