From Library Journal
The Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh is the setting of this dramatic, well-written study of political and human dynamics in a pediatric hospital. Science writer Gutkind examines the roles of health-care professionals and staff and their relationships with patients and families. He also explores the ethical dilemmas posed by the technological advances of organ transplantation, neonatal life-support, and other medical procedures, all startling reminders of the progress pediatric care has made over the last century. Central to the book, however, are the human relationships and emotions experienced on a daily basis. Gutkind avoids sensationalism and presents an honest, thorough, and moving portrayal of hospital life. Highly recommended for academic and public libraries.

From Publishers Weekly
In this "striking portrait" of Pittsburgh's prominent Children's Hospital, the author argues that the young receive superior care in institutions devoted solely to them. "Employing a journalist's 'fly on the wall' strengths of observation, rendering insights with novelistic verve, Gutkind recounts hospital procedures . . . and chronicles a procession of tragedies and triumphs," said PW.
