Baby Lost: From the Diary of a Neonatal Nurse
The large Midwestern children's hospital never sleeps, kept constantly awake with the glare of the lights and the beep of the monitors. Follow Annie Barker, RN, as she contemplates her future and is confronted by her past. As she reports for duty this Fourth of July, from experience, she will accept the unexpected as routine. Equipment may break, and there will certainly be the breaking of hearts. In this 'theater' where the lights never dim, the staff will perform their balancing act of extending life and prolonging suffering, as their personal lives intersect with - the often short - lives of their patients. Today, Annie will truly come face to face with the domino effect of a baby lost.
