A Parent's Guide to Medical Emergencies : First Aid for Your Child

Summary

At first glance this looks like your standard first-aid guide for parents, but an interesting surprise awaits inside. Yes, there's the standard (and, in this case well-written and easily accessible) information for dealing with emergencies, and yes, it's easy to reference. But this is the only book I've found that deals with what happens once the immediate crisis has passed. Written by a doctor, a naturopath, and a registered nurse, A Parent's Guide to Medical Emergencies includes homeopathic and herbal recommendations; for example, did you know that after an asthma attack, licorice tea can help calm and soothe the respiratory tract? An excellent section on ways to deal with trauma during--and after--a crisis.
