Little Buds In Scrubs: Learning About Coronary Artery Disease (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781088246566)

This amazing piece discusses Thomas and Ben's experience with their Grandma Mae. Their grandmother suffers from Coronary Artery Disease, a condition that restricts blood flow due to plaque buildup in the heart's coronary arteries. This affects many elderly people. Due to recommendations by Doctor Williams, Grandma Mae changed her lifestyle to help her condition. Her grandsons were not eager at first to make these changes with her. However, after Grandma Mae almost experienced a heart attack, the boys realized the importance of Grandma Mae's new lifestyle.

This book reiterates the theme of healthy lifestyle changes to improve overall health in individuals. While medications can be effective, alone, medications can only do so much. The book also aims to educate children about coronary artery disease, its main causes, and treatment. The goal of this book is to inspire children to pursue a career in healthcare and to work in areas to improve public health equity for all.
