A place we rarely get to see through a doctor's eyes.\u003cbr\u003eBut now the emergency room at a children's hospita is revealed in a moving and personal notembook by William Bondio, MD.  It recounts the lessons a doctor learns beyond the textbooks, revealing insights into the human condition at its most vulnerable and courageous moments--from the patient who, after intense medical therapy, gives up the will to live, to the sick newborn baby who never would.  We feel the power of a mother's instinct to advocate for her handicapped child, and observe the wisdom of an immigrant father who intuitively senses things the doctors cannot.  Finally, with the mother of a young patient named Julia we share in the nobility of a parent's unending search to find meaning in tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"St. Martin's Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47117331398896,"sku":"9780312273859","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780312273859_p0.jpg?v=1769888194","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780312273859","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
