Caritas only when

Impact

  • Finding and respecting the human facets of the patient–parent–physician relationship will enable us to return to where we come from and to offer what is worthy of the appellation “care“.

  • The poem adds a piece to the mosaic of humanist pediatrics.

  • Hopefully, the message will add a silver lining to the clouds of professional responsibility and burnout hovering over large parts of the pediatric workforce.
