The real world can come as a shock to new practitioners. The patients, the diseases, the settings, and even the doctors are much different from what you expect. That's why you need Everyday Pediatrics. With wisdom and humor, it bridges the gap between what you know and what you need to know...and guides you into a successful and fulfilling practice. This uniquely personal approach draws on Dr. Grossman's 33 years with the Berkeley Pediatric Medical Group and as a clinical professor of pediatrics at the University of California School of Medicine, San Francisco (UCSF). You'll look at ordinary illnesses, common growth and development issues, and typical family concerns - all the things that crop up in everyday pediatrics. Look for practice-proved advice on...the time problem - why doctors are always late; get-acquainted visits - how the practitioner is perceived by the family; the well-child visit - how to monitor your emotional responses to a patient; breast feeding - how to help mothers nurse their babies; well-child care - how to answer parents' questions about feeding, sleep patterns, and sibling responses; illnesses - when to use the RAST, how to approach otitis media with minimal surgery and ear tubes, how to treat migraines, how to teach children to swallow a tablet, more!
