I am Dr. Jesse Hackell.
I am a pediatrician with
45 years of experience
as a pediatrician and I
am located in New York.
I'm here to discuss why children
are not simply small adults
when it comes to
their medical care.
I have no conflicts of interest.
In the past, children
were seen by
the medical community as really
nothing more than
just small humans.
If they were lucky enough
to see a physician at all,
it would likely have
been a generalist
or a family practitioner.
This might, in some way, explain
the very high child
mortality rates that we
saw up until and into
the early 20th century.
However, that may be
related to many other
factors as well.

So a little bit of history.
The American Academy
of Pediatrics
was founded 95 years ago by
a group of
pediatricians who broke
away from the American
Medical Association.
They formed a new organization
based on the idea
that children had
unique health and development
needs that were not being
adequately studied or addressed
by the current medical
establishment.
Since their founding, the
Academy has effectively changed
the custom that had
been in place of
treating children as
miniature adults.
They have established
both pediatricians'
unique medical expertise and
their commitment to speak
on behalf of children's
welfare in terms of
advocating for
specifically child
focused approaches to health.
Over time, the work
of the Academy
has begun to show the
value of many practices
such as routine
health examinations
and immunizations
which have now become
the standard of care for
children and,
increasingly, for adults.
What exactly do we
mean when we're
