Description
As a young doctor, Maurice Savage's career path was shaped by a chance encounter with a child suffering from a progressive kidney disease. With no known curative treatment available at the time, he dedicated himself to finding solutions for small children.
The stories in this book follow his journey as a medical student, junior doctor, and eventually, Paediatric Nephrologist, as he worked tirelessly to establish a renal replacement programme for children. Along the way, he met many courageous and resilient young patients and their families, whose stories are told here.
This is a personal account of Maurice Savage's experiences, one that reveals the power of human spirit in the face of adversity, and the importance of compassion and expertise in medical care.
