From Library Journal:
Marion, a pediatric geneticist, discusses 14 cases that have had a profound impact on his professional and personal outlook. As a medical student, he naively regarded a child's neural disorder which prevented pain sensation as a fortunate condition. This belief is dispelled as he begins to understand that children born with congenital malformations or genetically inherited or other diseases are unaware of alternatives; they either cope, survive, or succumb. Parents and medical staff, however, develop expectations, and at times such expectations are unrealistic. Often, the "real" patient, Marion says, is the care-giver rather than the child. Marion's sensitive portrayals and observations make this an excellent book, particularly for public libraries.

YA-- Fourteen accounts of treating children with unusual medical problems. Readers meet a boy without any pain, children with strange eyes, a baby without a face, and a boy with breathing difficulties who was left at the hospital to die by his parents. (He survived, but they never returned.) This is a lively, intriguing account of hospital life by an engaging, compassionate doctor who shows his humanity by readily admitting his mistakes as an intern. A fascinating book for students planning to go into the medical field, as well as an excellent guide to being a genuinely sympathetic physician.
