Doctor On TikTok Goes Viral For His Gentle Method Of Administering Shots To Babies

No matter how old you are, when you're scared of something, you just are. Many of us hate going to the doctor because we know sometimes, that means we're getting pricked with a needle.

Knowing that adults get anxiety seeing a needle going into their arm, we can only imagine how scary it looks and feels for newborns and kids. Seeing that needle and feeling that pain? Ouch!

Once you hear those cries and screams in the waiting room, you know that somewhere in that office, a baby is getting their shots done. And, your heart just breaks for them!

It sounds like an impossible mission, but there are professionals out there who go above and beyond to make sure that their patients feel comfortable coming into their office when getting their shots done.

Baby Noah is seen at the doctor's office ready to get his shot. His doctor, who the mom identifies as Dr. William Gerba, hums and makes fun noises to tunes of different songs while he pokes around Noah's little body, making him laugh.

The doctor uses the closed shot needle to tickle around Noah's arms and legs, almost preparing him to get comfortable with being "poked" with something like a needle. His laughter the entire time is contagious.

He does stop for a moment, but the doctor continues his melody and making sounds that crack Noah up. He continues to giggle and keep a wide smile on his face.

Siphora Bangiyeva, Noah's mother, told BuzzFeed that she used to "dread" thinking of Noah's shots. But, this doctor makes it so easy, she almost looks forward to getting all of his vaccinations done to see her baby smiling.

BuzzFeed reported that in 2018, Dr. Gerba also went viral for the same method. Seeing as Noah's face is always bright and smiling when he gets his shots, we can only imagine how many other babies are excited to see him.
