BOOK REVIEW

Abraham B. Bergman MD1

1 Director, Department of Pediatrics, Harborview Medical Center, Seattle, Washington

What is my least favorite aspect of pediatric practice? Easy. It's the boredom stemming from endless repetition of the same basic informaton. That information, for the most part, is a variation of the theme: "This symptom or physical finding is within the range of normal and will not impair your child's health." I usually put it less politely. During the winter months I cannot stand to listen to myself explain for the n'teenth time that we have no effective measures to treat colds or eliminate coughs.
