I'm more or less done with this class, tra la! Peds was a great class and I loved starting to learn about caring for young patients but just the same, it's always nice when the semester ends. This book has great tables and charts, clear writing, and wonderful online resources. Good choice, Kristen!

This book is a great overview of the "Essentials", and all I can find time to read at the moment!
