I've owned every edition of this excellent resource and all have served me very well as a pediatrician covering a newborn nursery. This one does not disappoint. It is perfect for handling those babies when you know that something's just not right.

This review is from: Neonatology: Management, Procedures, On-Call Problems, Diseases, and Drugs, Sixth Edition (LANGE Clinical Science) (Paperback)

This handbook is excellent because it exhaustively covers manangement of neonatal problems; as a peds hospitalist, I find the on-call problems section very helpful as well as the drugs during pregnancy and lactation. Additionally, to have access on line (neonatologybook.com) is an extra perk when I need to travel light. Highly recommended
