Reviews
The story of Dr. and Mrs. Wolfberg's harrowing experience with the birth of their premature daughter is one that will tug at anyone's heartstrings, parent or not. The difficulty of the situation must have been nearly overwhelming at times yet Dr. Wolfberg has turned that experience into the opportunity to furnish us with not only his personal story but a well-researched examination into the state of NICU care today and its future going forward. What struck me most about this book was the situation the author found himself in when thrust to the other side of the exam room curtain. Usually privy to all conversations regarding a patient care situation Dr. Wolfberg finds himself cast in the role of worried parent while others decide his daughter's fate. His ability to blend both experiences and produce this lucid, moving book like this speaks volumes about his dedication to his profession and his strength of character.I would not hesitate to recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an emotionally taut medical story that will keep you on the edge of your seat or a meticulously researched insight into the current state of NICU operations and ethics.
