Editorial Reviews

Review

"As entertaining as the "Worst Case Scenario" handbook, but 100 times more relevant" -- David Kirshman, Scientist

Full of sound advice that is easy to follow. How many other gifts can prevent injuries and save lives?! -- Ayn Carrillo, Writer

Prevention, humor and wit... Full of the type of common sense which is unfortunately not that common." --Mark Hanson

5.0 out of 5 stars Both helpful and humorous, May 12, 2005

This review is from: Don't Try This at Home: Lessons from the Emergency Department (Paperback)
This book should be a home essential for everyone. I'm giving one to my sister who is a new mom. I'm sure she will benefit from all the tips just as I have. From advice like "don't cook in bare feet" to "careful with Q-tips" the book has just the right amount of simple guidelines to avoid emergency room visits. I assure you that you'll be surprised and enlightened with Dr. Pregerson's pearls of wit and wisdom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and practical, March 1, 2005
This review is from: Don't Try This at Home: Lessons from the Emergency Department (Paperback)
The amusement of tales of other people's poor judgement without any of the personal pain...if you follow this book's advice. Entertaining stories from the front lines of the E.R. What better gift to loved ones than engaging advice on how to avoid a trip to the E.R.?

5.0 out of 5 stars everyone needs this book!!!, February 16, 2005
By 
This review is from: Don't Try This at Home: Lessons from the Emergency Department (Paperback)
I wish I had read this book years ago, as it would have saved me great pain and expense. I wound up in the hospital last year running up my son's brick stairs barefoot, just before this book came into print. If this book had only half of the advise, it would still be worth ten times as much.
Buy this book for anyone you care about.
