Bouncebacks! Pediatrics encompasses 28 cases of children who were seen in the emergency department, discharged, and then bounced back with a different diagnosis, sometimes reversible, sometimes life-ending. In keeping with the Bouncebacks! tradition, all include the physician s actual documentation. Next is a discussion of the risk management/patient safety features of the initial encounter, either told by the book authors, chapter author, or in the colorful manner of Greg Henry, past president of the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) and arguably the foremost physician medical-legal authority in the country, having been an expert in over 2,400 medical legal cases. After the condensed description of the return visit (or visits!), the chapter author provides a referenced discussion of the presentation and final diagnosis, all within the context of the case. The chapters are written by authors who actually cared for these patients, creating a familiarity with the initial presentation and/or bounceback. Commentary often includes a very personal discussion of their initial discovery of the bounceback, and how an adverse outcome affected them personally; sometimes to the point of marital discord and consideration of suicide. What feelings should we have upon recognizing a child we cared for 24 hours ago is being rushed back to the trauma bay or learning that a parent we spoke with only hours ago will no longer be woken on Christmas morning by their 5 year old? Chapter authors range from nationally renowned pediatric emergency medicine attendings and residents to general emergency medicine attendings and residents, both from academic centers and the community. Each of the following stories reflects the author s insight and experience with the care of their young. These are patients that any of us could see in any ED on any given day. This is the third book of the series; in the first book, Bouncebacks! (2006), most of the cases were found by the book authors, then national experts were then asked to write commentary about the presenting complaint and final diagnosis, all within the context of the case. The second book, Bouncebacks: Medical and Legal (2011) was comprised of cases which went to trial or settlement. It was structured as one fictional day in the life of an emergency physician who reported to their shift; saw 10 well-appearing patients, only to subsequently find 10 letters that arrived in the mail! These cases were found through court records and appeals decisions; actual ED documentation and deposition and trial testimony was supplied by the attorneys who tried the cases. Each chapter is set up like an episode of the TV show Law and Order; first the medical, then the legal.

This 10th anniversary edition is an extensive update of the discussion sections and the literature/references, while leaving the original cases the same. Almost all the original authors did their own updates, but there are a few new faces, plus a bonus case.
Case-based for most effective learning and retention, Bouncebacks helps emergency physicians sharpen their analytical skills to improve patient safety. The illustrative cases educate emergency physicians in documentation, risk management, and evaluation and management of common ED complaints and diagnoses. 
Although patients in these cases were not entirely mismanaged, often important "red flags" were missed or ignored. The cases are structured for most learning impact: documentation of initial visits; Greg Henry, MD, FACEP (past president of ACEP) comments on evaluation and documentation from medical and risk management perspectives; final ED visits, diagnosis and hospital/surgical courses; and national experts' referenced discussions of appropriate ED approaches to diagnosis and management. 
Goals include patient safety, continuing education in documentation, risk management, and discussion on evaluation and management of common ED complaints and diagnoses.

In this fourth book in the 
Bouncebacks!<\/em> series, we employ a fresh approach by focusing on the bounceback visit, putting the reader in the footsteps of the clinician as the patient deteriorates. The story pauses at important decision points as possible management strategies are considered in a literature\-based fashion, followed by a revelation of the path chosen by the actual provider and the subsequent patient outcome. Expert whisperers, including 7 all\-star section editors and critical care expert Scott Weingart provide context and commentary along the way... buckle up for the ride!
