Quotes by John D. Lantos  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Surgery is the most masculine of medical disciplines, taking knives and penetrating the body to find disease and destroy it. It is a war game in which cold and shiny stainless steel is pitted against the unseen, sinister but discoverable and conquerable enemy. Pediatrics is in many ways the most feminine of medical disciplines, with its focus on small children, preventive care, nurturing. In terms of gender, neonatology seems to be somewhere in between.”
John D. Lantos, The Lazarus Case: Life-and-Death Issues in Neonatal Intensive Care

“Many NICU survivors have hospital bills of more than a million dollars and cannot be discharged from the hospital because their parents cannot afford a telephone at home.”
John D. Lantos, The Lazarus Case: Life-and-Death Issues in Neonatal Intensive Care

“there is something unforgettably compelling about having actually been there, alone, at two in the morning, gloved, masked, and robed like a latex-covered priest, receiving into my hands a blue, bloody, and lifeless baby and having to decide.”
John D. Lantos, The Lazarus Case: Life-and-Death Issues in Neonatal Intensive Care
