This book demystifies children’s hospitals by introducing their department structures, the roles of medical staff, and medical procedures. The book offers new parents and children a comprehensive understanding of how children’s hospitals operate: covering everything from X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), it teaches new parents to correctly understand radiation; delving into procedures like gastroenterological endoscope, ultrasounds, electrocardiograms (ECGs), electroencephalograms (EEGs), and pulmonary function tests, it explains the key details of these examinations; starting from the treatment perspective, it helps new parents make sense of confusing lab reports; and it pulls back the curtain on “mysterious” areas like emergency rooms, anesthesiology departments, cardiac catheterization labs, and intensive care units (ICUs)—all to help new parents and children overcome their fear of hospitals.

Written in plain language and supplemented with vivid real-life examples, this book makes medical knowledge more accessible and understandable to the general public. It also incorporates humorous language and illustrations to enhance readability and engagement. For new parents seeking to understand the inner workings and treatment processes of children’s hospitals, while also gaining practical medical and daily care advice, this book is an indispensable resource.
