One learns medicine, including pediatrics, by first learning a set
of rules and then spending the rest of his/her productive career
discovering exceptions to those rules. This book is intended to
serve as a study guide for organizing the acquisition of an initial
foundation of information about pediatric topics. Without an
initial set of rules all new information is simply another new
rule, and not an interpretive frame of reference for the deeper
level of understanding that occurs with the recognition that one is
dealing with a change in his previously held belief. As such, we
have attempted to include what we think most would agree are com
monly held operational "facts" of pediatrics, and have not tried to
justify or sub stantiate the facts with references or lengthy
background information as to why these facts are currently thought
to be true. Our primary intent in writing this book is to provide
an adequate core of pediatric information to enable one to pass the
pediatric portion of the national boards. We hope it will also
provide a foundation for those who wish to spend more time
discovering why children are different. If this study guide
fulfills whichever of these needs is yours, it will have been
successful. Jane E. PuIs, M. D. A. Eugene Osburn, D. O. vii
