a parent's perspective

Time has gotten away from me, but I didn't want to let too much time pass without at least pointing you to another article that looks at advancing health from the patient's perspective. But here it is the parent's perspective. The New York Times Health section today writes about a little girl with a rare tumor and the risky procedure to treat it. You can feel what I am sure is only a tiny portion of the gut-wrenching pain and anxiety the parents experienced. The article also offers a glimpse into the surgical room as well. Definitely worth the read.

You can find the article here: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/13/health/13tumo.html?ex=1368417600&en=fd49d2e9a128fb83&ei=5124&partner=permalink&exprod=permalink
