Reviews
Caring for the Hospitalized Child has been selected as one of Doody's Core Titles (R)
As a pediatric hospitalist with about 40 years of clinical experience and the editor of a pediatric review journal, I can recommend this handbook without reservation as a quick, concise, well-presented first reference. This is an excellent resource for inpatient pediatric providers. Joseph Hageman, MD (University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine) Doody's Book Review
