Lion's Den

About the Book

Daniel is like many other children his age, but getting more than his share of colds and ear infections. His parents never suspected what might be at the root of the problem, nor that the medical profession itself might be involved. It's up to Daniel's father, veterinarian Dr. Ron Jacobs, and pediatrician Dr. Lauren Walters to determine if the unthinkable is possible—could doctors be inadvertently infecting our children with serious diseases?
