Excellent medical guide for kids of all ages,
By A Customer
This review is from: Columbia University Department Of Pediatrics Children's Medical Guide (Hardcover)
This book is a lifesaver, complete with flowcharts of possible problems, descriptions of illnesses, what to do for your child and when to call the doctor. Most helpful of all are the many pictures of what rashes, etc. actually look like. I heartily recommend this for anyone with children.

Not exactly what I expected.,
By marglane (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Children's Medical Guide (Columbia University Children's Medical Guide) (Paperback)
I ordered this for a baby shower gift. It took quite a long time to get to me and when I opened it, it was not what I expected. I had hoped for more information to be included although there are some good pictures that will help diagnose some minor things.
