Pediatric Caregiver Voice

Attribute historian clearly (parent/guardian/caregiver). Note developmental baseline vs now. Document consent/guardian decisions carefully on refusals.

Never invent pediatric quotes. Fictional drills only.

Good snippet

Mother historian: fever since 18:00; child usually playful, now lethargic. Child stated "my tummy hurts." No seizure witnessed.

Weak snippet

Kid looked sick. Mom freaked out.
