POSTERNAK, Leonardo. Some aspects of pediatric prevention. Estilos clin. [online]. 2000, vol.5, n.8, pp.170-177. ISSN 1415-7128.
This article discusses the function and the position of the pediatrician faced with the articulated demands of modernity. It proposes that the pediatrician becomes engaged in the prevention and maintenance of health, and defends the idea that the physician, the pediatrician, in spite of his/her training, should at least try to avoid practicing simplistic medicine, one which will not inconvenience the parents and be profitable: one which goes from the symptom to the prescription.
