The purpose of Pediacast is to present generic medical information of interest to parents. While Dr. Mike is a board-certified pediatrician, the views expressed here reflect his personal opinion and should not be mistaken for medical advive for any specific child. If you have a medical concern regarding your child, you should contact your child’s doctor. There is no substitution for a face-to-face history and hands-on physical examination in determining a proper diagnosis and formulating an appropriate treatment plan.

Pediacast is a pediatric podcast for parents. Welcome to our 8th episode! Remember, if you have a topic you would like us to discuss on the program, drop us a line through the CONTACT page or email podcast@pediascribe.com. You can also leave us a voice message at 347-404-KIDS.

We have plenty of topics lined up this week. Here’s the rundown: Baby shoes. Birth order–are first borns smarter than subsequent kids in the same family? Growth charts–are changes coming? Vision exams–we’ll tell you who should get them and when. Then in the teenage segment, we’ll explore eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia. We’ll also have an interview with a 12yo homeschool student, and round things out with some podsafe music.

You’ll notice a slight decrease in audio quality this week as we toyed with some settings. Audio should be back to it’s previous quality in our next episode.
