Baby

Joseph Stirt is a doctor; his wife, Judith, is a nurse. Their lives and medical beliefs change radically when faced with the treatment of their premature baby in the very hospital where Dr. Stirt practices, a place where success is measured only in terms of life or death. The agony of the Stirts' experiences -- the conflict between their high-tech medical training and their human emotions -- is vividly played out in Baby. This heart-rending story of the decisions that two parents must face is also the personal saga of a doctor's re-examination of his medical training and beliefs as he and his wife ask themselves what their child will be like if she survives.Stirt, Joseph A. is the author of 'Baby' with ISBN 9780882821115 and ISBN 0882821113.
