Stephen Odzer is a board certified pediatrician helping to children in the field of medicine for over 15 years.
It was a Wednesday afternoon, and it was a busy day for pediatrician Dr. Stephen Odzer. He had a lot of appointments, and while most of them had been quite straight-forward (mostly check-ups
and regular pediatric visits), some of them actually were a little more problematic. This was definitely the case of Nicholas Somers. This child was about 9 years old, and he was struggling with a really nasty sore throat. His parents didn’t seem to keen to take him to a doctor right away, so they initially thought it was going to be just a passing sore throat. “It’s nothing,” they told their child. “Drink a few hot drinks, stay warm and get plenty of vitamins, and you’ll feel swell in no time!”
