Maggiori informazioni sul libro

As an Emergency Room pediatrician, Dr. Lara Zibners has encountered a vast array of pediatric cases, caring for many of the 25 million children visiting U.S. ERs annually—over half of whom may not need to be there. This guide helps parents discern when to seek immediate medical attention and when to relax and consult their doctor later. With engaging sections like "In the Diaper" and "His Noggin and the Nervous System," Dr. Zibners offers practical advice, such as using oil to dissolve superglue on skin. Addressing concerns like choking, she reassures parents that a healthy child won’t choke on vomit unless under the influence of substances. This book eliminates the frantic late-night searches typical of childcare guides, focusing instead on essential safety questions, like preventing electrocution. While not every parent has an emergency pediatrician at home, this book serves as a valuable resource for navigating childhood emergencies. Dr. Zibners, a former Assistant Professor of Pediatric Emergency Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital, now splits her time between New York and London, bringing her expertise to concerned parents everywhere.
