Confused About Your Child's Medical Therapy? Guidelines May or May Not Help

I wrote an article for today's New York Times about clinical guidelines in children.  Though this seems like a boring topic, it's actually not. Pediatricians don't always know right away exactly how to treat ear infections, ADHD, constipation, or other problems, especially when new studies and medicines are coming out regularly. So they often rely on clinical guidelines -- recipes for medical care, really -- to help guide them.  In my essay, I discuss how the process of writing guidelines isn't so easy.  Read the full story and let me know what you think by posting a comment.
