The book has been organized into five sections - chief complaints, diseases, syndromes, physical findings, and tables. One third of topics are new or significantly rewritten and the book contains over 100 tables, (many of them new to this edition) which provide quick access to developmental milestones, lab values, differential diagnoses, and many other important topics.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Practitioners of Pediatrics!, May 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The 5 Minute Pediatric Consult (Hardcover)

The 5-minute pediatric consult is written in an easy to read outline format. The writers have eliminated unnecesary obscure data and offer a concise outline of all major pediatric diseases. The topics are designed to be read in 5 minutes or less and all the up to date information to diagnose and treat a specific illness is included. The topics are alphabetized, so they are easy to look up. The writers are accomplised experts in their fields and the book has been edited by the distinguished Dr. Schwartz, at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. As a professor of Pediatrics, I highly recommend this book to practicing pediatricians, family practitioners, nurses and students.
