As a PEM Physician, child abuse, sexual abuse and child neglect cases are those cases I never want to miss or overlook. That is often easier said than done. This is a discussion I had with Dr. Stephen Boos, a child abuse doctor in Western MA.

Probably the best advice I got in my career was to take care of myself before I take care of any patients and how I address some over-medicalized issues.

I am excited to announce the launch of the PEM Rules Facebook page. Please visit, become a follower and communicate what you like, wish to hear or just keep in touch.
