I took the liberty of making a few changes Kim's response made me think of the handouts a lot of us use on a regular basis. I have the Pediatic Advisor as well as pamphlets published by the AAP, pharmaceutical companies, and other sources. Of course I've not read even a fraction of the literature I distribute and occasionally a parent will question information in the handout which contradicts something I've told them verbally. Or a parent might not appreciate a tongue-in-cheek statement in a handout (an AAP brochure, in a paragraph on the treatment of warts, states, "Occasionally they disappear by the power of suggestion"). Unless a provider writes all of their own handouts (quite an undertaking) or reads all the handouts in their office (I'll get to it right after I read that April, 1996 issue of AAP news) there is no solution. I just think it's something we should all be aware of.
