This review is from: Current Pediatric Therapy (Current Therapy) (Hardcover)

This new edition of formerly Gellis & Kagan Current Pediatric Therapy is a renewed edition in many ways. It's format has changed to point key issues at start of every chapter, along with sections on expert opinion on management issues for each chapter, plus the very good idea to include a common pitfalls section. The sugested readings reminds me those annotated references in publications like Current Opinion in Pediatrics. This edition includes a short description of each reference cited in each chapter. Not only a very easy to read book, but a well organized one. The only think I don't like is the unstability of the online version, but this one could be related to my browser and firewall configuration too.
