The Lone Scouts of America and the Boy Scouts of America merged in 1924. Since then the Boy Scouts of America has administered a Lone Scout plan as part of its mission of bringing Scouting to all American youth who wish to take part, regardless of circumstances.
As a family doctor, we're trained to see people of all ages, from pregnant women, to newborns, to adults, to the very elderly. We're also trained to work in either a hospital or in an outpatient office, although many (not all) will choose one or the other. Some will also work in urgent care centres or nursing homes.
The doctor will listen to your heart and lungs; check your eyes, ears, and throat; and make sure everything is working right on the inside and outside of your body. If you are sick or in pain, the doctor will examine you to figure out what is wrong. Sometimes he or she will perform special tests to learn more about what is happening in your body. Then, he or she will make a treatment plan to help you get better. Grown-ups visit the doctor, just like children do. Children often see a doctor called a pediatrician. A pediatrician is a special kind of doctor who takes care of children and works with parents to keep kids healthy.
