Baticulon, Ronnie E. creator author. text ph Quezon City, Philippines The University of the Philippines Press c2019 2019 2023 monographic eng xiv, 175 pages ; 23 cm. "In the event of an error, the only thing a writer loses is a chunk of swollen ego. But a physician's incorrect diagnosis will always be a matter of life and death. Dr. Baticulon's dispatches from the country's leading public hospital are told in language that requires no further acrobatics. How do you tell a mother that the smiling ten-year-old boy in her arms will not survive the following week? How do you tell a little girl she'll never be able to go home to play because her parent can't afford P54,000 for her surgery? How do you live with yourself after breaking a promise to save an eight-year-old boy's life? Like the trenches of war zones, the operating room is the frontline of life's most difficult questions. Here are a neurosurgeon's gripping ruminations on hope and loss." --Backcover Contents: One: in which I pass or fail -- Two: in which they live or die -- Three: in which you leave or stay.
