This book is an excellent resource for parents or caregivers of any kind.I have either been to urgent care of the emergency room for about 60% of the illnesses that the author discusses. In many cases, I went to the wrong place and paid far too much for the advice I got. As parents, there is nothing worse than experiencing our children's struggle with a frighteningly high fever, shooting pains of an ear infection, or the after effects of a fall off a bike...but knowing how to respond in the moment is half the battle in taking the first right step. This book guides the reader to take that first right step!Beyond the most obvious, the other very valuable aspect to the book is that the author prioritizes what distinguishes an immediate 911 call from a car ride to the emergency room. Overall, this book is an extraordinary reference and should be on the shelf of every home in America.
