Average Rating: 
Rating:  - book
EXCELLENT resource for any involved in occupational health nursing or wanting to conduct research in this field and needing basic information to inform him/her about the field.
Rating:  - very good quick organizer for your tired hard worked brain
This book is a pretty straight forward and easy to carry in lab coats during calls on pediatric floor.The author tried to incorporate most of the common problems faced by the house officer on the call. The organization of priorities and therapy is excellent.The only negative aspect is that it does not replace any textbooks or manuals in pediatrics; one has to read other books for individual diseases and their management. Overall it is absolutely worth it's price and useful for junior pediatricians
