College students facing their first illness, accident, or anxiety away from home often flip- flop between wanting to handle it themselves and wishing their parents could swoop in and fix everything. Advice from peers and “Dr. Google” can be questionable.The Ultimate College Student Health Handbook provides accurate, trustworthy, evidence-based medical information (served with a dose of humor) to reduce anxiety and stress and help set appropriate expectations for more than fifty common issues. What if you can’t sleep well (or can’t sleep at all) in your dorm room? What if a pill “gets stuck” in your throat? What if your roommate falls asleep (or passes out) wearing contacts, and wakes up with one painfully stuck? Your friend’s terrible sore throat isn’t Strep or Mono? What else could it be? What should you do for food poisoning? When do you really need X-rays for a sprained ankle or injured toe? What helps severe test anxiety or fear of public speaking? Dr. Jill Grimes has the answer to these questions and many more. Her guidebook is designed to help you: Decide if and when to seek medical help Know what to expect when you get there Plan for the worst-case scenario if you don’t seek help Learn how you can prevent this in the future Realize what you can do right now, before you see a doctor Understand the diagnostic and treatment options Got questions about tattoos, smoking, vaping, pot, and piercings? No worries, Dr. Grimes has covered those topics, too, as well as a few things you might not know about the use and abuse of stimulant (ADD) prescription medications. Pair this book with the DIY First Aid Kit detailed in the bonus section to help you, your roommates, and your friends have a healthier, happier semester! Read more

    • Best Graduation Gift for Anyone, Everyone
For those of us who struggle to find just the right graduation gift, especially those of us who no longer have teenagers as a source of reference, this book is a godsend. It is brilliantly written, easily understood advice on nearly everything that touches on health for a college student--as well as other young adults. I don't know when I've been so impressed with a book and am so grateful to have found my new go-to graduation gift. For anyone for whom you don't think only a book is sufficient, you can always tuck a gift card in the front as well. ... show more

    • Amazing and essential grad gift
This is the number one graduation gift for high school seniors whether they are leaving home or staying local. I gifted one to each of my child’s friends upon graduation. Pertinent information for any young adult to have, and it is presented in a way that the student can access and understand the information easily. ... show more

    • Will gift again next year too!
I purchased several for my nieces and nephews and this year I'm purchasing more - it's refreshing to know that I'm providing evidence based information from a reputable Family Medicine physician and mother. I wish I had something like this when I started college 💕

So good I bought 10! With Dr. Grimes guidance I created the ultimate first aid graduation gift. Not only is the book full of useful and easily understandable information, it appeals directly to the kids without judgment or condescension. Dr. Grimes went above and beyond with a personalized sticker for each book. I cannot recommend enough! ... show more

    • Great high school graduation gift
I bought a few of these books to give as high school graduation gifts. I love that the author is a physician who gives evidence-based information so I can trust what she says. Also, it's written so college students can quickly get key information on common topics. I also will put together the first aid kit that she recommends. This is a great book! ... show more
