' A great book for any teen, parent, teacher or doctor.'-Dr. Eudice Goldberg, Head, Adolescent Medicine, The Hospital for Sick Children Tens of thousands of teens have to deal every day with problems arising from their chronic conditions or diseases. They have to take powerful medications, undergo frequent, sometimes painful, medical procedures, deal with doctors and other medical professionals, and endure the embarrassment of appearing different from others their age. This edition has been completely updated and revised.
“Such a resource should provide information straightforwardly and nonjudgmentally, and Dr. Kaufman's comfort with the issues and the comprehensiveness with which she addresses them is notable. The book is frankly written, pulling few punches in dealing with difficult health concerns. While youths and practitioners will find the book helpful for specific conditions, they will also find it useful in a general sense because many of the questions are generic to youth needs and are so well answered.? “Canadian Family Physician
