Pearls from the trenches: Part 3
In this third of 4 articles, Dr Farber shares more wisdom gleaned from years of practice.
In 2 previous collections of my pearls of wisdom for pediatricians, I have shared many practical but relatively unknown tips, some common but erroneous beliefs, and many myths that relate to pediatric medicine. I have presented evidence-based practices as well as those backed by common sense-in this case, mine.

I believe that sharing what I have learned through my years of practice helps all of us who care for children to become better at our jobs.
