Free all-knowing app "Dogan Paediatrics"
Our paediatrician colleague Özgür Dogan from Stuttgart has created something really great: He has basically written a book that covers all aspects of our profession - and published the whole thing not as a book, but as an app.
Dogan Pädiatrie is the name of the whole thing, subtitled "The handbook for medical professionals, daycare centres, schools and parents". And the texts are really written in such a way that it can definitely be very interesting for parents to take a look.
This recommendation also comes from the bottom of my heart because much of what Özgür writes corresponds to how I see paediatrics.
A few aspects that I find important: First of all, to say that our job as paediatricians is often to keep our feet still. Not to get carried away and torture children with unnecessary treatment and diagnostics. Instead, we support, advise and strengthen the parents.
There is a nice chapter on re-admission to kindergarten and when a child does not need to stay at home but can go to kindergarten or school. There is information about medical certificates - where we paediatricians are also very keen to empower parents so that they can make their own decisions and don't need a medical certificate for every little thing.
It's about the very, very cautious use of antibiotics. And, of course, many clinical pictures and many topics relating to child development are also illuminated and explained extremely well.
So: a big recommendation. Just download it - free of charge - and read it.
