The Peculiarities of Pediatrics
Judy Converse MPH, RD, LD
[USA] [Host: Sherri Tenpenny, DO]

Judy Converse asks, how is it that the US has the most expensive, high-tech, and educated force of pediatricians in the world, but the most chronically ill children? Explore the incongruous, kooky, and dissonant world of modern pediatric practice with case reviews and published data on child health - while learning how to raise a healthy child.
