With the aid of the internet, who needs to go to college to be a doctor these days? Mayo Clinic. Web MD. NIH. There's an immense wealth of information and misinformation on health issues. I know I have used it to diagnose myself with a plethora of possible diagnoses. None of which came to fruition, but at least I got a good worry in. Well, I'm trying to change that. I'm trying to avoid using the interwebz as a means for real medical advice.
And how does one do that? Either by talking to a real, in-person doctor or via books written by accredited doctors. Granted there's some real doctor information online, but you often have to sift through a lot of random advice to get there. Well, here's the deal happy readers, I was recently given a great book for parents called The Portable Pediatrician by Dr. Sears and family. I can almost guarantee that if you're a parent, you have heard of the infamous Dr. Sears. He's a pretty big deal in the baby world. How would you like to join in on the Dr. Sears lovin'? That book I mentioned above is up for grabs. I read through most of it, and it's a great resource to have on hand when you have little ones. The book is ripe with pertinent information about many illnesses, causes, and most importantly, when to call the doctor. That last bit is where a lot of us parents get confused. Finally, there's quite a bit of information on home remedies, which I love. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below.
Happy reading and worrying less!

P.S. Update on No TV/Netflix week coming tonight. Little Man took a major spill off the trampoline, so I got to spend the morning in the ER. At least this happened a few weeks before we are left without health insurance. Oh yeah, and we are more than elated he came out with only a neck sprain. Boys! Whatcha gonna do?
P.P.S. Sorry about the far-ly indented first words. Blogger is being a B.
