Publisher's summary

Pediatrics, which focuses on the medical care of children from birth through adolescence, is one of the most fascinating areas of modern medicine. To step into the shoes of a trained pediatrician is to better understand how these medical heroes diagnose common and uncommon illnesses in their young patients, helping each child grow into his or her greatest potential.

In these 24 lectures, don the doctor's white coat for an accessible journey into the world of pediatric medicine to solve medical mysteries. Each of these standalone lectures presents you with a case or series of cases that you tackle alongside Dr. Benaroch, from initial symptoms and workup to the diagnosis and resulting treatment.

You'll quickly see just how multifaceted and nuanced the medical treatment of children is, whether dealing with minor diagnoses like runny noses and ear infections or life-changing ones like cerebral palsy and neonatal pneumonia. But sometimes children have concerns that extend beyond the traditional realm of medicine. In addition to the fascinating facts and compelling stories he shares, Dr. Benaroch has crafted the perfect tool for parents and caretakers who want a panic-free resource for their child's health and wellness, including issues surrounding sleep, discipline, and mental health.

Whether he's dealing with a premature infant, complications arising with international adoption, or a homeless youth, Dr. Benaroch treats every case in this course with care and compassion. You'll quickly learn how the best pediatricians are also caretakers and counselors and why the experience of helping sick children is exciting and rewarding - especially when it transforms lives for the better.

Knowledgeable

Medical School for Everyone: Pediatrics Grand Rounds, written and narrated by Roy Benaroch, The Great Courses, Audible release was light to listen to. I've always enjoyed listening to a narration by the author.
I enjoyed this publication as an International GP where English is not my native language. As the author explains, there are different conditions and symptoms in a very understanding manner for parents.
Doctors worldwide whose English is not their native language would benefit from listening to or reading Medical School for Everyone: Pediatrics Grand Rounds, written and narrated by Roy Benaroch, The Great Courses, because of the vocabulary and speaking style of patients their parents. And, of course, parents and grandparents who still can read or listen might benefit from this wisdom and not panic if something happens but understand and help doctors diagnose, treat, cure, or learn how to live with some conditions and disabilities.
Here Roy also speaks about signs and symptoms that are not life-threatening and how to deal with them quickly at home.

Great for parents

I think this would be a great listen for parents, as it goes through a variety of issues a kid might have, and offers insight what to pay attention to in kids.

What your pediatrician is thinking about.

This course was great, it gave me good insight into what my pediatrician is thinking about when we bring our daughter to see him. The case studies were interesting and cover a wide variety of topics. I also found it interesting how some of the most basic interactions help the pediatrician lead to the diagnosis.

Informative and Engaging

I enjoyed the narrator's easy to listen to voice, who weaves through stories of children's illnesses and potential diagnoses or causes of presented symptoms. helpful for any parent, grandparent or care giver. I especially liked the way he looked at changes of behavior. overall very engaging book.

Learned so much

Helpful in knowing what the pediatrician is likely thinking along with some info on what is normal, abnormal, concerning, and emergent!
