The new edition of Childhood Emergencies has been thoroughly revised and updated and carefully reviewed by a panel of medical experts. Few publications offer such quick and easy reference for all the hurts and scrapes, bumps and bruises that go with childhood. It also helps to identify serious problems when professional medical care must be sought immediately. The format is extremely user friendly. Brief text describes the problem and outlines what needs to be done. Where needed, illustrations show exactly how to perform necessary procedures.

Available now for the first time–a Spanish language edition with the full text and all illustrations in the same convenient format.
