Table 5 Excerpt of PVC in girl 2
Participant | Actions (italics represent non-verbal actions) |
|---|---|
Girl 2 | Nooo. The girl’s words are cried out in a monotonous way, staring into the air. |
Father | He tries to drag his daughter closer toward him. This increases her body stiffness and her pitch of crying slightly rises. |
Physician | Wow, did you make these? The physician points to the child’s bracelet, which is homemade of plastic pearls in different colors, and looks up into the child’s face and smiles. |
Girl 2 | I don’t want. Nooooo. The girl continues to cry in a monotonous way with a stiff body posture, and a stiff neck, and limbs. She sits in her father’s lap, ignoring the physician and fixes her glance on her arm where the physician holds her arm, not trying to withdraw the hand. Because of her stiff body, the father is unable to drag her closer to his stomach. |
Physician | Or, maybe it is dad who has been sitting up and made it… ha ha ha ha (laughing) and looks first at the child, and then at the parent. Or what? |
Girl 2 | Noooooooo. The child still continuously cries in a rhythmic voice and is stiff in the body. |
Father | He vaguely smiles and nods at the physician. |
