Pediatric Diagnosis and Treatment Handbook 2026: The Age-Stage Bedside Guide for Residents, With Weight-Based Dosing and Emergency Algorithms

By Brandon G. Hoffmann

The pediatric handbook that puts age firstIt is 3 a.m. A parent is scared. You are the doctor.
A toddler has a fever. The chart is thin. Your senior is asleep.
You feel the fear you know too well. What if you miss the one red flag that matters?
