She's cared for a portion of the 25 million children in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region> who are taken to the ER each year-and she knows that more than 50% of these visits may be unnecessary. IF YOUR KID EATS THIS BOOK, EVERYTHING WILL STILL BE OKAY shows parents when they may need to take action, and when they might be able to just go back to bed and call their doctor in the morning. With sections such as "In the Diaper" and "His Noggin and the Nervous System," Dr. Zibners covers every part of the body and offers sound advice (for example, did you know that oil is the best remedy for dissolving superglue between body parts?), all while maintaining a lively and often hilarious tone. To the question, "What if she chokes on her vomit?" Zibners answers, "A healthy child will not choke on her own vomit, unless she is drunk or high on Grandma's sleeping pills."<BR><BR>Finally, no more frantic late-night searches through the "why to buy,""how to diaper," or "what to feed him" sections found in other childcare books to find out if little Franny needs to go to the ER. This book focuses on the truly important questions, like how to keep her from electrocuting herself in the first place. Not every child has a pediatrician with specialized emergency room experience living in her home. But this book just might be the next best thing. <BR><BR><B>Lara Zibners, MD</B>, is a former Assistant Professor of Pediatric Emergency Medicine at <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Mount Sinai</st1:PlaceName><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Hospital</st1:PlaceType> in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">New York City</st1:City></st1:place>.

I read the book before I gave it to her to see what it was about. I do not have kids, but I do think the book is great. It's pretty funny and there is a lot of i...more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Jul 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 01 13:07:29 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 22:16:53 -0700 2009
It was funny and helpful. I have a two-year-old and emergencies are par for the course.

I think overall this book did a good job of covering the basis of what should and shouldn't be seen in the emergency room.
