• I have found all necessary information needed to work proficiently on pediatric unit in this pocketbook, ranging from disease process, signs/symptoms, assessing, plan of care, medications and treatments.  This information has been very helpful. Fits perfectly in pocket and has endless availability of resources. Undeniably worth the price I paid for it - A great reference guide!

• I'm a third year med student on Outpatient Peds. The Pediatric Outpatient Pocketbook is an excellent quick reference for common pediatric conditions and ideal treatments. Must-have for 3rd years!

• Wow! This book is a perfect, concise source for information in the general pediatrics setting---primary care, urgent care, ER, etc. The information is well presented in an easy to read and access format.  I highly recommend this book for nurses, residents, attendings, and students.

• The Pediatric Outpatient Pocketbook is a thorough review of pediatrics in a concise format. It is easy to read and intuitive in its use. As a family physician resident, I wonder how I got so far along without it. Harriet Lane is great, it just doesn't fit so nicely in my coat's pocket.
