Pediatra de Pueblo / Village Pediatrician

Como pediatra rural, Mar燰 lleva a隳s escuchando creencias y opiniones populares que, aunque generalizadas, carecen de una base cient璗ica. Este libro es una especie de consulta ampliada, sin bata blanca, sin prisas y sin neros de historia cl璯ica. Un espacio donde puede explicar con tranquilidad lo que muchas veces no da tiempo de comentar en la consulta: por qu?un ni隳 tiene fiebre, qu?hacer cuando no duerme, cu嫕do consultar con tu pediatra y cu嫕do no hace falta salir corriendo a urgencias. Pero, sobre todo, es un intento de desmontar falsas creencias, aclarar dudas, combatir los bulos y devolverle a la pediatr燰 el sentido com... y una buena dosis de sentido del humor.

Este libro, pensado para que los padres y las madres (y tambi幯 los abuelos, las t燰s, los vecinos y todo aquel que se apunte) encuentren respuestas claras, desmitificadas y pr塶ticas, no va de juzgar, sino de acompa鎙r. No va de dar lecciones, sino de aclaraciones. Porque criar con miedo, dudas y presi鏮 externa ya es de por s?lo bastante dif獳il como para tener que enfrentarse encima a mitos del siglo pasado y a bulos del siglo XXI.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A practical guide to debunk the myths spreading through social media and counter the advice of well-meaning relatives.

As a rural pediatrician, Mar燰 has spent years hearing popular beliefs and opinions that, though widespread, have little scientific basis. This book serves as an extended consultation--no lab coat, no rush, and no patient charts. It offers a space where she can calmly explain what there's often no time to cover in the doctor's office: why a child has a fever, what to do when they can't sleep, when to call your pediatrician, and when it's not necessary to rush to the emergency room. Above all, it's an effort to dismantle false beliefs, clear up doubts, fight misinformation, and restore common sense--and a healthy dose of humor--to pediatrics.

This book is designed to help parents (and also grandparents, aunts, neighbors, and anyone interested) find clear, practical, and demystified answers. It's not about judgment, but about guidance. It's not about lectures, but about clarity. Because raising children with fear, doubt, and outside pressure is already hard enough without having to battle myths from the past century and fake news from the 21st.
