Last year America's 76 million children made 27 million trips to
hospital emergency departments-one for every three children. That
represents a lot of fevers, coughs, sore ears, twisted ankles, and
broken bones, plus the wide gamut of other illnesses and injuries
children can experience. Whether or not an emergency room visit was
warranted for each of these visits, however, is an entirely
different story. Keeping Your Kids Out of the Emergency Room is an
essential guide to the most common illnesses, injuries, and
ailments that send kids to the ER, and when particular symptoms
warrant those trips or not. Christopher Johnson, a seasoned
pediatrician, offers a go-to resource for all new parents and
parents of young children, providing solid information on those
instances when a trip to the ER is essential, when a trip to the
doctor will suffice, and when a wait and see approach works best.
He tackles all the most common ailments that cause parents to
wonder if they should take their child to the emergency department.
Since these problems appear as a bundle of symptoms, not a
diagnosis, the book is organized around what parents actually see
in front of them. It also teaches parents how emergency departments
work, so the experience is understandable when a trip to the ER is
essential. With this helpful guide, any parent can learn practical
things about which pediatric health problems need immediate
attention, which do not, and how to tell the two apart. Knowing the
differences, and understanding those situations that require
immediate care and those that don't, may help parents avoid the
emergency room and still get the best care for their child in the
meantime. Every new parent, or parent of young children, will find
here a ready introduction to the most common childhood ailments,
and when they rise to the level of true emergencies. Knowing what
to do before a child becomes ill or injured will help parents make
informed decisions when situations arise.
