The Heart of Caring

a life in pediatrics

Pediatrician Mark Vonnegut has spent forty years treating children for coughs, fevers, ear infections, and sometimes more serious complaints. In that time he has seen the American medical system change in ways he couldn't have imagined as a medical student--some of them good, others not so good. But what hasn't changed is his commitment to his young patients, whose stories fill the pages of this book. There's Anna Maria, a little girl with an incurable case of bone cancer; Adeline, who has a syndrome so rare none of Vonnegut's fellow doctors have seen it before; Marlowe, whose life-threatening anemia is cured by his just-born baby brother.

Reading and writing are in of themselves subversive acts. They challenge the idea that things have to be the way they are, that you are alone, that no one has ever felt the way you have.

We're all here to help each other get through 'this,' whatever it is.

Without writers fooling themselves about what their books might accomplish there would be no books at all.
