Product Description
The first part of this research project investigated the problems experienced by 83 children who returned to school after spending time in hospital with cancer, various chronic diseases and orthopaedic conditions. Children in all three groups experienced problems and many teachers were unsure of the academic expectations and physical capabilities of returning children. The second part investigated the resources and services provided by the treating hospitals, the school health services, and the Education Department, in reintegrating children to school. There seemed to be no regular pattern of details for services offered to the children and their families and many school doctors felt that they were an under-used resource. These results suggest that to facilitate a smooth return to school for a child after a period of hospital treatment, improved liason is needed between all the parties concerned, including the school health services. ...

Not much substance
I bought this book hoping to get informed guidelines on handling emergencies involving children, while waiting for the ambulance - or even what to do or not in cases that might not merit a call to 911. However, the entire book could be summed up in one sentence: "Call 911 and sit tight." The author goes into all kinds of details, but I could not extract much in the way of emergency response, other than to sit by the child, reassure him/her and wait for the ambulance.

A must for parents
I just finished reading it.It is a must!.Covers what to do while 911 arrives and what to expect when you call 911 the role and expertise of the different health care workers you are bound to encounter and what they can do for you.Besides of the mandatory CPR overview it includes tidbits of the author experience that make reading it again worthwhile.

It also informed on the gap between states on EMT service providers certifications and capabilities.It also made me wish for another certification that will train persons to perform CPR and intubation since breathing is so important.

Great read, well written, clear, concise, not chatty, and a possible life saver.Despite of this I hope reading it was waste of time and never faced with the need to call 911.

Perfect Gift for Parents-to-be
Am I ever impressed.This book will be the first on my list for Baby Shower Gifts.This book is comprehensive and covers many unthinkable emergencies.Every parent or parent-to-be should read this from cover to cover and then keep it in a handy place for easy reference.Put an extra copy in your glovebox.Written from the point of view of an experienced EMT, the first hand life-saving information is invaluable. ...
