The Complete Pediatric Emergency Masterclass for Parents

Taught by Dr. Philip Manners, MD — Board-Certified Physician & Father

(Experience: Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, UCLA, Cedars-Sinai, Johns Hopkins)

Short training ↓ • Full course details below

This course is for you if you want to:

• Be prepared before something happens — not scrambling at 2 AM with Google
• Stop asking “Am I overreacting… or missing something serious?”
• Know how to think clearly when your child is sick or injured
• Feel less anxious and more confident about your decisions
• Learn a doctor-designed framework that works in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia

This is not about turning you into a doctor.
It’s about giving you a calm, structured way to decide what to do next. 

 In this short training, I’ll show you:

• How the 5-Question Framework works in real-life scenarios
• Why it’s so hard to make decisions at 2 AM without a system
• How this course helps you feel less worried and more prepared
• Exactly what you get in the full When to Worry, When to Wait course

This Isn't About Making You a Doctor

This Is NOT a Course to Turn You Into a Doctor 

Most parents don’t want a medical degree. They want to stop feeling:

• Frozen with worry
• Unsure if they’re overreacting
• Afraid they’ll miss something serious

This course does not ask you to memorize long lists of symptoms.

Instead, it gives you:

• A simple mental framework doctors use every day
• Plain-language explanations of what matters and what usually doesn’t
• Clear guidance on what to watch, what to write down, and who to call and when

You’ll still call your pediatrician.

You’ll still use your local services (NHS 111, telehealth, nurse lines, etc.).

The difference is:

You’ll have a calm, structured way of thinking when you do.

 Why You Don't Want To Wait Until 2 AM

The Worst Time to Learn This Is During the Emergency

Right now, you might be reading this while your child is okay.

That’s exactly when to learn this.

Because when it’s 2 AM and your child:

• Has a high fever
• Is breathing differently
• Has taken a bad fall
• Has a strange rash

…it’s incredibly hard to:

• Sort through Google
• Make sense of ten different opinions
• Think clearly while your heart is pounding

 This course is about preparing now, so that later you can say:

“I know how to think through this. I know what to watch. I know where to go.”

That’s what lowers your anxiety — not just in one moment, but over the next 18 years of parenting.

 What Changes After You Learn This?

Without this course:

😰 You Google symptoms, get more scared, and still feel unsure

🤯 You get conflicting advice from friends, social media, and nurse lines

🚗 You risk unnecessary ER visits — or dangerous delays because you waited

⚖️ You constantly second-guess: “Am I overreacting?”

With this course:

✅ You use a simple 5-question framework when something happens

✅ You know what matters more than the number on the thermometer

✅ You can recognize patterns: when to watch vs. when to seek help

✅ You feel less anxious because you have a way to think, not just a list to memorize

✅ You communicate more clearly with your doctor: “Here’s what I saw, here’s what changed”

You’re not trying to be the doctor.

You’re trying to be a prepared, calm parent.

This course supports you in that role.

Works Wherever You Live

The course is designed to work whether you’re in:

• 🇺🇸 United States
• 🇬🇧 United Kingdom
• 🇨🇦 Canada
• 🇦🇺 Australia
• 🇳🇿 New Zealand

Healthcare systems are different.

But children — and how they get sick or injured — are remarkably similar.

This course focuses on:

• What worrisome breathing looks like
• What concerning behavior changes look like
• What patterns suggest dehydration, head injury, infections, rashes, ingestions and more
• How to decide when to watch, when to call, and when to go in

In other words:

The concepts are the same no matter where you are.

You’ll simply plug them into your local system.

You don’t need every detail here — but you do want reassurance that everything important is covered.

By the end of the course, you’ll know how to think about:

Fevers & common infections

• When high numbers are less concerning than low numbers
• Behavior-based clues that change everything

Breathing problems

• The 15-second visual breathing check
• When noisy breathing is less worrying than “quiet struggle"

Head injuries & concussions

• Which falls are usually minor vs. which mechanisms are concerning
• What to watch for in the hours after a bump

Vomiting, diarrhea & dehydration

• The simple dehydration checks doctors use
• When it’s likely a virus vs. when something more serious might be happening

Rashes

• The “blanch test” that helps separate “watch at home” from “get seen now”
• Allergic reactions & anaphylaxis

Ingestions (medications, chemicals, batteries, magnets)

Injuries & fractures

Pain patterns that matter (like appendicitis clues)

…and more

Each lesson is:

• 5–10 minutes

• Focused on real situations parents actually face

You can watch on your phone, tablet, or computer — at your own pace.

Who Is This For/Not For?

This Course Is For You If…

• You’ve already had at least one 2 AM, “Do we go to the ER?” moment
• You want to feel prepared, not panicked the next time it happens
• You prefer clear, doctor-led explanations over random internet advice
• You live in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, or similar systems and want concepts that apply across settings
• You’re not looking to become a clinician — you just want to make better, calmer decisions for your child

This Course Is Not For You If…

• You’re looking for personalized medical advice (this is educational only)
• You want a “magic checklist” instead of learning how to think through situations
• You’re not willing to spend a few hours now to feel more at ease for the next 18 years

Why Now (Not “Someday When Things Calm Down”)

 
You might be thinking: “This sounds helpful… but I’ll come back to it later.”

The problem is, “later” often looks like 2 AM with a sick child.

The next time something happens, you will either:

• Be trying to piece things together from Google, or
• Have a ready-made framework you’ve already seen and practiced

 That’s the urgency.

You’re not buying a video series.

You’re buying less panic in future emergencies.

Right now, the course is available at a founding member price of $197 as I gather feedback from the first group of parents and continue adding case examples.

As I refine and expand the course, I do plan to raise the price for future cohorts to reflect the full value.

If you enroll now, you’ll:

• Lock in the $197 founding member price
• Get lifetime access to all future updates
• Have this ready before the next “Is this serious?” moment
  
  

Your Investment

A single ER visit can easily cost:

• $500–$2,000 (or more),
• 4–6 hours of your time,
• Lost work,
• Child care for your other children,
• Exposure to other illnesses,
• And a lot of stress.

 If this course helps you:

• Avoid even one unnecessary visit, or
• Get care sooner when it truly matters, or
• Feel calmer in dozens of smaller scares over the next 18 years…

…it more than pays for itself.

Today’s pricing: $197 (USD)

The risk is on me, not you.
