Parent Rounds: Medical Evidence for the Modern Family

When a physician presents a case during “Grand Rounds” in the hospital, the goal is clarity, evidence, and actionable learning. Parent Rounds brings that same clinical rigor to the questions that keep you up at night.

This is not a blog about parenting hacks or opinions. It is a briefing on pediatric health, safety, and development, translated from medical literature into plain English.

Why Trust This Newsletter?

I am Peter B. Richman, MD, MBA, a Professor of Emergency Medicine and Research Director for a university affiliated residency program in Southern Texas. Previously, I was Vice Chair for Research, Department of Emergency Medicine, Mayo Clinic Hospital.

My career has been defined by a commitment to data and clinical excellence. Over the years, I have:

• Led countless research projects in acute care and emergency medicine.

• Authored over 90 peer-reviewed research publications.

• Delivered more than 150 national and international research presentations.

I work in a high-volume hospital system that serves as a tertiary care facility for a massive region. I see the acute cases, the “mystery” fevers, and the trauma that parents fear most. My goal is to use that experience to help you panic less and prepare more.

What We Cover

Every issue of Parent Rounds is structured like a medical briefing—concise, data-driven, and focused on the bottom line. We cover:

• Acute Care: Fever protocols, head injuries, and when to actually go to the ER.
