Editorial Reviews

From Book News, Inc.
Edited by Behrman (pediatrics, Stanford U. School of Medicine), Kliegman (pediatrics, Medical College of Wisconsin), and Jenson (pediatrics, Eastern Virginia Medical School), this general medical school textbook seeks to be comprehensive in its treatment of the medical problems faced by children. In addition to the standard information on diseases and disorders, organized by bodily system, the editors include sections on psychological disorders, social issues, children with special health needs, nutrition, development, and environmental health hazards. The text does not note the contents of the CD-ROM.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Fantastic Reference Text for Chiropractors
This book is a must for chiropractors who's practice includes pediatric patients. It is a one stop source for everything I have needed in practice.

Excellent
One of the best all around references I have found. It gives you the important info you need and cuts out the fluff.

THE Textbook of Pediatrics.
THis is THE textbook of pediatrics. I own Rudolphs and Oski's as well. This is the book to buy (or read if you have MDconsult). It has the best diagrams, graphs, authors, and is the easiest to read. Don't waste your time with the minibooks such as currents or the mini Nelson's. Just read this one. You'll be glad.
