Pushing Pediatrics

Join Sheila and Sara for their new Friday format, Case Files Friday.  Case studies will help your studying by mimicking the PCS exam test question style!  Use the information you already know and apply it to these cases.  This week, we cover two burn cases and one hemophilia case, to coordinate with episode 5!

Sara and Sheila cover two important topics today, hemophilia and burns.  These two topics are definitely on the DSP but not chapters included in the most recent, 5th Edition, of Campbell. Sit back and listen as we review important facts regarding both of these conditions.
