Still not sure whether I like this medico's style...
(Seriously. Dude was like the pediatric version of House. Skillful, and his patients are important to him... but bedside manner? What's that?)
Doc (to Dae, straightfaced): So. Are you a boy or a girl?
Dae (to Doc): facial expression and headtilt translatable as "WTF?"
Doc: Are you a girl?
Dae: slow, suspicious headshake
Doc: Are you a boy?
Dae: nods... ?
Doc: You a big boy or a little boy?
Dae: ...unspoken: insufficient data... I'm five. unspoken: Says so on that chart, too.
Doc: Are you little?
Dae: shrug
Doc: Are you as big as you're going to be?
Dae: headshake
Doc: How big will you be?
Dae: jerks thumb over his shoulder, indicating me, still with "are you on dope?" expression on his face.
Doc (to me, smiling): You're his frame of reference.

On the other hand, I'd have been tempted to translate all of the unspoken commentary for the Doc... just for gits and shiggles, of course.
