BOOKS ABOUT PARENTING AND HEALTHCARE
|
At one time, I wanted to be a nurse, then a doctor. Then I found
out something that changed my mind about medicine. While I didn't
mind blood, I decided I did mind doing what you need to do
to make blood appear, as in surgery. I also discovered I was better
at writing than math. So now I write about health topics and issues
related to raising children. Here
are some books to help readers of all ages learn more about each
other and special health concerns.

"Each chapter hooks readers with an engaging case study and then
continues with a detailed discussion of the chapter topic. . . .

easy to read and hard to put down."
