Robert, a nearly 12-year-old boy, traveled an hour to see a new pediatrician. Robert's mom told the pediatrician that Robert had not been seen by a doctor for several years because "no one seems to be able to help him with his problem." Robert had been wetting the bed "ever since he was toilet-trained" at age 2 years. Robert wets the bed about 5 out of 7 nights. ⋯ A lively discussion ensued as the physicians realized that they employed a variety of treatments for enuresis. Robert's pediatrician wondered why his colleagues were not using the alarm because the literature seemed to indicate it to be the preferred treatment for enuresis. He asked the group if they would be interested in talking about the issue further and perhaps trying to understand the reasons for their varied approaches to this problem.
