Who will speak for the children? is the question posed by Judith S. Palfrey, a pediatrician and child advocate who confronts unconscionable disparities in U.S. health care—a system that persistently fails sick and disabled children despite annual expenditures of $1.8 trillion.
In Child Health in America, Palfrey explores the meaning of advocacy to children's health and describes how health providers, community agencies, teachers, parents, and others can work together to bring about needed change. Palfrey presents a conceptual framework for child health advocacy consisting of four interconnected components: clinical, group, professional, and legislative. Describing each of these concepts in useful and compelling detail, she is also careful to provide examples of best practices.
This original and progressive work affirms the urgent need for child advocacy and provides valuable guidance to those seeking to participate in efforts to help all children live healthier, happier lives.

Child Health in America
There are a lot of things to be learned from this book. It posed several interesting questions about being a doctor - does the traditional model still hold? Or should we embrace the new technological advances as they come along? Like everything, there are pros and cons to these choices. Also, I found it eye-opening to know that science is a rather new and modern addition to the art of medicine. Another interesting thing discussed is the absurdity of the clinical double blind study -- are we generating relevant knowledge? Can we reduce people to their commonalities? And if a treatment is shown to be beneficial, is it ethical to continue the study, hence putting the placebo group without treatment that we now know is good for them? Definitely brought up a lot of questions. Being a doctor is really not just smooth sailing. If I really make it to Med School, I'm gonna reread this book.
