Faces of a Children's Hospital
girl in an exam roomFaces of a Children's Hospital, narrated by actress and children's author Jamie Lee Curtis, reveals the traumas and triumphs of emergency and exam rooms across the country. This heartwarming and often heartbreaking program documents the surgeries, chemotherapy treatments and transplant recoveries at five noted children's care facilities in Massachusetts, Texas, Wisconsin, California and New York. The documentary illuminates the unique challenges of children's health care. Operating on a strawberry-sized heart requires both the specialized equipment and skills of a pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon. Child-sized walkers, blood pressure cuffs, oxygen masks and surgical tools also allow doctors and nurses to aid even the tiniest body.
