Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatricians are doctors who manage the health of a child, including physical, behavioral, and mental health issues. They are trained to diagnose and treat childhood illnesses, from minor health problems to serious diseases.
After being inspired by questions posed by his daughters about their ancestry and having feelings about his own mortality after the death of his wife, Dr. Nichols wanted to find answers to the many questions he had about his family. In his memoir, Fade to White, he details his search for the father whom exited his life when he was just a boy, and also writes about his life, education, profession, and thoughts about being a minority in the world. “Remembering the past is a way in which we can affirm our identity and the value of our own life stories as we grow older” as stated by Dr. Nichols.
