Overview

"Utilizing true stories from his pediatric practice, Dr. Vernon L. James sheds light on ""attacks"" made on children that rob them of their right to reach their highest potential. Children are vulnerable to attacks from the moment of conception and throughout their lives. These attacks include flawed chromosomes or genes, infectious diseases, starvation, neglect, cancer, abuse by those who should protect children, and a toxic environment that includes secondhand smoke and other poisons. By increasing our knowledge, we are able to guarantee children their rights to happiness and joy, and to good health and proper medical treatment. All the ""stars"" in the book's stories are real children and families from the author's over 50 years in medicine. Their conditions are described in story fashion and are written to be understood by all ages. Vernon L. James, MD, was born in the small rural town of Liberty, North Carolina, and was raised by loving parents who struggled to provide the best. He received his BS and MD from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Pediatric training was at the Children's Hospital at Ohio State University and a fellowship at the Children's Hospital at Harvard Medical School in Boston. Dr. James retired as a Bird Colonel from the USAF, and taught as a full-time professor at the University of Kentucky and the University of Kansas Medical Schools. Private practice was in Wichita, Kansas, and San Antonio, Texas. He lives with his wife, Psychologist Dr. Dessie James. Publisher's website: http: //sbprabooks.com/VernonLJames"
