If you're suspicious of your pediatrician, read this book. If you love your pediatrician (we ADORE our family doctor), read this book. You know more than you think you do about your child's health, and this book helps you develop those instincts. It's not anti-medicine--after all, it was written by a pediatrician--but it does call into question a lot of standard medical practices that harried doctors and anxious parents rely on (for instance, antibiotics for ear infections).
