false 116211 2 In her honest, riveting prose, Perri Klass -- writer, mother, and doctor -- takes readers through her extraordinary three years of internship and residency as a pediatrician in a Boston children's hospital. Responsible for newborns, the chronically ill, and the mysteriously sick, Klass set high standards for her own performance and for those who worked with her tiny charges.<br><br>In essays and explorations on the concerns and contradictions that she faced every day, Klass reveals the fears, frustrations, and triumphs that formed her confusing life. From the difficulties of sleep deprivation to the hopelessness of treating a child with AIDS, from emergency room hysteria to intervening in cases of abuse to personal crises at home, Klass describes a trial by fire unlike any other -- a collection of experiences that changed her from a frightened, insecure medical student into a confident, caring baby doctor.<br><br>"A fascinating look into the mysterious chambers of medical science . . . Compassionate and compelling." -- Boston Herald<br><br><br><i>From the Paperback edition.</i> 111917 12 5 1992 Baby Doctor total:22|5:0|4:0|3:1|2:0|1:0| 22 84 29 3 3 0 false false Tue Oct 30 08:44:11 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 30 08:55:21 -0700 2007 more...]]> 2 0 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jan 18 21:52:32 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 22 08:17:00 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Thu Nov 22 19:45:11 -0800 2007 Fri Nov 30 11:29:16 -0800 2007 3 0 false false Sat Oct 17 11:59:27 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 11:59:27 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Jul 03 08:35:04 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 08:35:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jun 21 07:24:15 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 21 07:24:15 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed May 13 13:23:03 -0700 2009 Wed May 13 13:23:03 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Apr 17 12:41:55 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 12 11:51:33 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 12:41:55 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Feb 22 15:33:14 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 22 15:33:14 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Jan 31 15:17:08 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 15:17:08 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sat Nov 29 11:10:52 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 14 07:37:52 -0800 2008 Sat Nov 29 11:10:52 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Nov 07 11:45:58 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 07 11:45:58 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Oct 11 14:56:12 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 11 14:56:12 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Wed Aug 27 12:51:44 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 27 12:51:44 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Aug 09 14:29:47 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 09 14:29:47 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Wed Jul 30 12:18:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 30 12:18:00 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Jul 20 12:20:47 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 20 12:20:47 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Jun 20 11:32:40 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 20 11:32:40 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Thu May 08 14:44:51 -0700 2008 Thu May 08 14:44:51 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Thu Apr 10 04:50:46 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 10 04:50:46 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=116211
