`Rappin' Doc' adds dose of fun to anti-smoking lectures

Luann Zanzola

You can't help but admire a man who teaches children not to smoke by rhyming "alveoli" with "ravioli."

Anthony Scalzo, M.D., FAAP, is that man. And while many pediatricians across the United States turn Child Health Month into a year-round crusade, few do it with the panache of Dr. Scalzo, a.k.a. the Rappin' Doctor.

Most of the time, Dr. Scalzo works as a pediatrics professor and toxicology division director at St. Louis University in Missouri, as well as an emergency room physician at Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital in St. Louis. He also is medical director of the hospital's Regional Poison Center.
