Abstract
A heel prick cannot be an automatic procedure. Patients should always be protagonists of their cure even when they are small and nonverbally autonomous, and their parents should never be discouraged from participating in these procedures. Some exceptions are obvious, but the main rule in procedural treatments is “involving the patient” [1–5].
