Doctor, you're doing it right.

When I was a kid, my mom and a nurse literally had to hold me down so I could get a shot. Got some ice cream afterwards though, so it was okay.
True story, I was that way when getting my hair cut. I was like so ticklish that I couldn't stand it.
I'm not sure what i'm watching here. He gives the kid the shot then throws tissues at him to make him happy?
He gave him two shots without a flinch from the baby. That's impressive. He's able to occupy the kid, get him to laugh and make visiting the pediatrician an enjoyment, not one of the worst routine experiences possible for a baby. He did good.
I'm just picturing a giant pair of shears touching your head and some kid freaking out in laughter.
Some kids just have a higher pain threshold than others. I give shots at a pediatrician clinic too. Some children don't even flinch or cry after 2-3 shots, they just look at you. Others cry me a river even though it's just one shot.
I'd be impressed if they showed this doctor doing it to 10 kids and all have the same reaction.
