Pocket Pediatrics (Pocket Notebook)

Condensed Peds info in a pocket sized book!

Bought this as a Notebook companion with my Primary Care Notebook. Has pictures and organized well. Love it! I bought mine through the Amazon vendor. So if you see pics it was brand new with plastic wrapping. I did not have issues as other reviews about being used or fake.Very happy!😄

Very helpful in a concise format . Refer to it frequently .

Might be good for interns and residents, but for us over 50 crowd the type is just too small, even with readers. The content is good, however. Other pocket type guides I've used had larger type -- this is just too small to be of use to me.

As a fnp student this is ideal for learning

Good, concise

You don’t really see any residents using this book. It’s just a nature of pediatrics such that it doesn’t have a good one stop shop resource there are a few typos, and there are content missing that you would expect to be in a guide like this. it’s overpriced but not useless.

This book was published in 2020, but it cites AAP recommendations from 2012. One glaring example is the directive to turn a child forward facing in a car seat at age 2. This is outdated and NOT the current recommendation from AAP. A child should rear-face until the limits of the rear-facing of their seat. Spinal ossification is not nearly complete at age 2, and the risk of internal decapitation is much higher while forward facing. As car crash-related accidents are a major cause of childhood mortality, correct information is critical.
