Not bad, not great, November 21, 2011

This review is from: Texas Children's Hospital Handbook of Pediatrics and Neonatology (Ring-bound)

Comparing this book to some other peds review books this one is ok but not great. The content is good and there are plenty of references that are of good quality. The handbook covers many topics and would do just fine for residents or hospitalists. The neonatology section is very nice as well. For outpatient pediatrics there it is less useful.

My biggest concern about this is the quality and build of the handbook. It is a thicker plastic cover with 3 ring binder inside, the pages are very thin and tear very easily. Not rugged in the least.

Comparing this to other peds handbooks that I have I would rank: 1) Philidalphia Guide, Inpatient Pediatrics 2) Washington Manual of Pediatrics (especially good for outpatient use as well) 3) Texas Children's Handbook (this book) 4) Harriet Lane.

No book is perfect, but I think if you have #1 and #2 of the above you should be pretty well covered.

This is the first pediatric handbook to cover peds and neo well. It is so easy to use right at the bedside. Truly a bedside reference. This book is easy to navigate with great format and very practical info. I actually use this on call (unlike the Harriet Lane). I use it all the time. This is a must for students or anyone in the field of pediatrics. Great tool, great book!

I'm a pediatrics intern, and bought this book for my Kindle. It is jam packed with extremely useful information that I can use at the bedside. The table format makes it so easy to read...I don't have to weed to through pages and pages of prose to get to what I want. I HIGHLY recommend this book for any trainee in Pediatrics. I even saw one of my attendings using it!! EXCELLENT handbook!!

Comment on PARENTS: Do you allow your children to play violent video games? by Isaac's Mommy

My son is too young to play them. He’s only 3 but my husband plays COD all the time & my son likes talking (we have the headphone thingy) to the other people on Xbox Live. When my son is older, I’ll definitely let him play those games!

I’m the same as you, i’ve played GTA since the first one came out, and i would’ve been about 10 or 11 at the time.
I don’t think that age is so much the factor as maturity level. If my son at 13 wants to play a game like COD (18 rating) it would depend on how he demonstrates that he knows it’s just a game, and that violence outside of a game is wrong, no matter what the situation is. If on the other hand, he had a string of fights at school, and was aggressive, then i wouldn’t allow him to play it.
I know playing games at the age i was didn’t do me any harm (i’m not going to go out steal cars, swear every other word or anything like that) but i wouldn’t allow it before 13.
