Abstract

This chapter describes a family physician's perspective of two chronic diseases. The purpose of the chapter is to share some of the insights of a family doctor in treating children's chronic diseases, specifically pediatric cancer and asthma. The physician's experience spans over 36 years of practice in three countries: France, Israel, and Canada—three first-world countries whose medical systems are continually adapting new protocols of practice based on findings and recommendations from rigorous theoretical and empirical research. A short review of these two diseases and their prevalence among children is provided. Recommendations for schools and teachers who work with children who have chronic diseases are discussed.
