Medicine for the Outdoors: The Essential Guide to Emergency Medical Procedures and First Aid
I am really a very laid-back parent. Sometimes I wonder if I am being too laid back, even - like with 103 degree fevers, bonks on the head, etc. I got this book on my kindle to see if it would help me define when to worry and when to continue not worrying.
It is overall incredibly reassuring. It is comprehensive and covers the necessary information, but it acts as a wonderful reminder that kids are resilient and can take some bumps without too much parental paranoia.
I was thrilled to see that it is very accurate on the subject of infant circumcision as well. Some books written by American doctors are very blase about the procedure and incorrect about information for intact babies. This one, as it is by someone who splits her time between the US and the UK, does a good job of riding the fence. It is not overtly anti-circumcision, but it does not gloss over the very real possibility of complications like severe blood loss, and it expressly mentions that intact care is very simple and should not involve any retraction or internal cleaning.
