Links and other resources you can find
on the web
There are a number of
useful web sites for people interested in pediatrics or the rheumatic diseases.
I have no direct association with any of these sites and provide them for
public interest only. Many more sites are listed in my book noted above.

“Dr. Tom Lehman’s experience and compassion are evident on every page of this
book, and they help guide the reader—child, parent,
and healthcare professional alike – through the
world of childhood arthritis. This book
is an absolute gem written with a single goal in mind: improve the lives of kids with arthritis.” -- Jack Klippel, M.D. President and
CEO of the Arthritis Foundation
“Dr. Lehman has given parents and families of children with
arthritis the first book that speaks to the parent and child as equals. His book explains the illnesses, the
medications, the lab tests, and the disease course in simple, understandable
lay language and givens them valuable insight into how a pediatric
rheumatologist thinks. Bravo!”-- Charles Spencer, M.D.,

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– This book will give you the answers. 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.
