Doody's Review
"This is a high-quality medical textbook that is arranged alphabetically by presenting signs or symptoms. This format provides a straightforward way for busy medical students, residents or practicing clinicians to obtain information to guide them toward a diagnosis, treatment, and "next steps" based on a chief complaint. This updated edition includes mental and emotional health complaints and includes family and caregiver dynamics as well. These topics are essential in the care of today's pediatric population. I recommend this book to any medical students, residents, new physicians, or advanced practice practitioners who care for children and need a quick reference for pediatric illnesses and conditions based on presenting signs and symptoms."
