It has
always been a frustration trying to answer the many questions I have received
from people over the web. I can’t take the time and give them the
detail I would like to. I have to take
care of my patients. This book is a
distillation of my experience answering questions for parents and health
professionals over 25 years of practice.
If you want to know about the diseases, the tests, the medications, or
how to be sure you are getting the best care– If you are the family member of a
child with joint pains, this book will give you the
answers. If you are a general
physician, a pediatrician, or a nurse who cares for children with these
diseases it will answer many of the questions families ask you, and you can
recommend it to them. It will also
answer many of your questions about what shots to give, what precautions to
take, and the other questions families, pediatricians, and other health care
providers have asked me over the years.
