About the Booklet

Chock-full of straightforward information, this booklet will prepare parents, grandparents, and caregivers for their child's unexpected emergency room visit.

Most children do not make it through childhood without at least one visit to the emergency room. It can be a cold, an earache, a cut, a broken bone from a fall, or a breathing emergency. Whatever the illness or injury, an emergency room visit can be overwhelming and even scary to the parent unfamiliar with the inside of an emergency room. You will discover:

  • When to call for emergency help
  • When to go to the hospital
  • What to know before you go
  • Why you have to wait so long
  • Who the medical people are in the ER
  • How to get the best possible treatment
  • How to calm your child
  • The do's and don'ts you need to know
  • What are common childhood illnesses and injuries
  • What to know before signing out
