Self-Help Health
As an Emergency Room pediatrician, Dr. Lara Zibners has
seen it all. She's cared for a portion of the 25 million
children in the U.S. 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."
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.
