From the reviews:

“This book reviews chronic disorders, assorted chromosomal abnormalities, and general issues related to chronic disorders in children. … It is more likely to appeal to parents whose children have these disorders and to those more involved in the ancillary services needed by these patients. … the brevity and concise nature of this book’s presentation offer a good introduction to the topics for those looking for the basics.” (Russell W. Steele, Doody’s Review Service, February, 2013)
