Present Concepts in Internal Medicine. Volume 4, Number 1. Pediatric Symposium. Management of Common Childcare Problems. Facts and Feelings
Abstract
Laboratory data, scientific facts proven by modern statistical methods, and clinical observations resulting in 'feelings' of appropriate therapy are necessary for the physician to provide each patient with the most effective treatment. It is important, however, that the physician realize how much fact and how much feeling influences his therapies. The pediatrician does manage by means of a mixture of 'feelings and facts' many of the common childcare problems he sees in his office. This symposium examines a few of these problems: Respiratory distress in the newborn infant, Septicemia in the newborn infant, Congenital heart disease (a review of the major series revealing familial incidence), Otitis media (management of acute infection in the middle ear), Genitourinary infection, enuresis, Asthma (management of the child who wheezes), Goiter (diagnosis and treatment of goiter in children), Abdominal pain (management of the 'tummy ache' in childhood), Poisonings (management of the child who is poisoned), and Drug abuse.
